First point to note - for me, this works ok (but I only really use it to view .ps prints of image files with 'display' from ImageMagick) - using that to display text is "interesting".
Second (key) point - it doesn't build agaisnt lcms2-2.4 : http://www.ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-devel/2013-February/009402.html The fix mentioned there is to patch lcms2 by extracting some diffs from github. I _think_ that fedora have done this, but if *we* now patch lcms2 it means anyone building gs-9.07 who wants to link it to their system version of lcms2 will need to use the patched version. I don't know if the changes have been accepted by upstream lcms2. AFAICS there are three options: 1. patch lcms2 for this, when adding gs-9.07 to the book. 2. temporarily drop the system lcms2 option (i.e. use the shipped version of lcms2 - lcms1 is no longer the default although it appears to be supported as an option (quite why anyone would want to use lcms1, I have no idea :) 3. stick to gs-9.06, at least until lcms2 makes a new release. I don't have any strong feelings for, or against, any of these options. What do people think ? I'll also mention (in case people prefer option 3 for the book) that 9.07 will need some other changes: · the shipped libtiff is now in the tiff/ directory · I can't find any need to add LIBS=-lz, but then I didn't need it for 9.06 either - any references to why this was added, please ? · jasper is no longer included · gtk+-3, if present, is used in preference to gtk+-2. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
