The paths for finding initialization files, fonts, etc. can be specified on the Ghostscript command line. See doc/Use.htm under 'How Ghostcript Finds files' for more information. I understand that but was wondering if the initial build could support better defaults. If not then no problem, but was wondering. Yes, you can select a different default search path by modifying the variable GS_LIB_DEFAULT in the makefile. |
Default search paths I have a link on my desktop to D:\Omega16\GS\bin\gswin32.exe -? -dNOPAUSE The "start in" folder is: D:\Omega16\GS\bin folder layout d:\omega16\gs bin fonts lib Resource toolbin When I execute the link I see the search path as , ; d:/gs850/gs8.50/lib ; d:/gs850/gs8.50/Resource ; d:/gs850/fonts and for more information, see d:/gs850/gs8.50/doc/use.htm The folder d:/gs850/gs8.50 is where I built the project from but it is not where the final build will reside. In our overall installation we allow the user to select where they wish to install the product, then we create a folder layout uder their specified folder. Even though when I schedule the gswin32.dll from my code with the proper search paths if a user selects to execute gswin32.exe from the installed folder I would like them to see the correct location and information. I looked at the msvc32.mak but I'm not sure this can be done from the standard default build. Thanks in advance
