[comp.sys.sun] Goswell's PS interpreter for SPARCstation

lixj@acf4.nyu.edu (Xiaojian Li) (02/26/90)

Has anybody ever tried installing Goswell's postscript interpreter on
SPARCstation? I got the source from the network but have difficult time
compiling them( fill.c and image.c aren't right for SPARCstation ). I am
quite new to C language stuff. If anyone out there could supply
informations about this interpreter( I will mainly use it as previewer ),
I would be grateful.

Thanks.       --Xiaojian Li(lixj@acf4.nyu.edu)

xps.tar.Z, available for anonymous ftp on expo.lcs.mit.edu in the contrib
directory, is the version of PS that we run on our Sun3s, and Sun4s. Under
MIT X Windows Version 11 Release 3 and 4.  Seems to work fairly well.
(No, we don't use it under pixrect or SunView or the raw frame buffer,
because most of our Sun4s don't have frame buffers...)

As many people pointed out to me that I have to change variables
"infinity" in fill.c and "log2" in image.c. Later I found out, indeed,
that "infinity" and "log2" are reserved for math lib call.  Thank guys who
helped me.
