[comp.sources.bugs] PostScript Interpreter

sivagnan@handel.colostate.edu (Vasanthan. S) (03/28/88)

  I am not sure if this topic was discussed before. I tried to compile
the recently  posted PostScript interpreter (v12i067) from Rutherford
Labs, UK.  
  
  When tryed to "make ww" I was missing a include file "wwinfo.h". Did
any one managed to compile and have it running under sunwindows or
X-Windows. If so please send me a copy of the include file. I have sent
a mail to the author but sofar (2weeks) no reply.

Unless I misunderstood what Crispin has posted previoulsy the ww library
is only available in the UK. To compile the interpreter for the sun you
must make use of the canonical library canon.a and the pixrect driver
pixrect.c. Similary for the X you use X.c (which is X10 or more recently
X11.c which has been posted) and canon.a. It's all in the makefile its
just a little obscure!

P.S. I've got it to work most simply by replacing refences to hard.c in the
dependencies for PS with pixrect.c.
