Chris I thought you were working on this kind of stuff so I am giving this one to you. Please let me know if you want me to study it.

I've open a new bug report (#693238), with a patch containing the one I attached here. But, 1 year and a half for such a small but important patch...

But, 1 year and a half for such a small but important patch... We obviously have different ideas of what's "important". Using autoconf tools to build native Windows binaries (as opposed to cygwin or msys) is something only a *tiny* minority of people do, so I don't consider it important. A Visual Studio project, or nmake makefile I would consider important, as that would be using the standard tools on the Windows platform. ok, i stop bugging you, guys. You can close my bug reports as "won't fix" as anyway you won't apply them. Adios. I didn't say I wouldn't apply them. But, a) as I said, I don't consider these high priority issues, and b) the jbig2dec repository has been in a state of flux (i.e. whether it should continue in its own repos, whether the ghostpdl/gs/jbig2dec repos should be "canonical repository", and the jbig2dec repos itself just a mirror of that, or what....). I've been putting off doing much with jbig2dec until we settled the repository question, and got a few things tidied up. I'm getting there, but as a standalone "product" jbig2dec is of limited interest, and tiny usage, therefore, as a standalone product, gets a pretty tiny amount of my/our attention. Remaining part applied in: http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=ghostpdl.git;a=commitdiff;h=735c3bbf |
Created attachment 6933 [details] patch to build the dll The autotools are not set up to build a DLL. I have attached a straightforward patch that fixes that problem.
