Introduction to ESP Ghostscript

ESP Ghostscript is a versatile processor for PostScript data with the ability to render PostScript to different targets. ESP Ghostscript is a customized version of GNU Ghostscript that includes an enhanced configuration script, the CUPS raster driver to support CUPS raster printer drivers, and additional patches and drivers from various Linux distributors.

Dependencies

Optional

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

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/*
