Introduction to ESP Ghostscript

ESP Ghostscript is Easy Software Product's fork of GPL Ghostscript (ESP also develops CUPS). It came about because the CUPS developers were using a customized version of GPL Ghostscript that included support for non-postscript printers and the various Linux distributions wanted a single, standard version of GPL Ghostscript that included all of CUPS' changes.

Dependencies

Optional

• CUPS
• libjpeg
• libpng
• X Window System
• Gtk1
• jbig2dec

Configuration Information

--enable-cups: To ensure that CUPS support is enabled.

Non-Multilib

Compile the package:

sed -i "s/bbox.dev$/x11.dev/" Makefile.in &&
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-threads --without-omni &&
make

Install the package

make install &&
install -d /usr/share/doc/espgs-8.15.4
ln -v -s ../../ghostscript/8.15/doc /usr/share/doc/espgs-8.15.4&&
for INSTFILE in `ls doc`
do
  if [ ! -f /usr/share/doc/espgs-8.15.4/$INSTFILE ]; then
    install -v -m644 doc/$INSTFILE /usr/share/doc/espgs-8.15.4/
  fi
done

To install the shared library libgs.so you will need Gtk1. Note that the shared library is only used in external programs.

make CFLAGS_SO='-fPIC $(ACDEFS)' so

Install the shared library:

make soinstall &&
install -v -d -m755 /usr/include/ps &&
install -v -m644 src/*.h /usr/include/ps &&
ln -v -s ps /usr/include/ghostscript

Configuring

Fonts

To finish the installation, unpack all fonts you've downloaded to /usr/share/ghostscript

tar -xvf ../ghostscript-fonts-std-8.11.tar.gz -C /usr/share/ghostscript
tar -xvf ../gnu-gs-fonts-other-6.0.tar.gz -C /usr/share/ghostscript

Ensure the ownerships of the files are root:root:

chown -v root:root /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts/*
