[gnu.ghostscript.bug] ghostscript doesn't make

gildea@BBN.COM (Stephen Gildea) (08/05/89)

I am trying to compile version 1.3 of Ghostscript on a Sun-3 under
SunOS 4.0 with X11R3.  This setup is one of the few that is mentioned
in the README file as being known to work.  It doesn't.

I am using GNU make 3.54 and gcc 1.35.
Following the instructions in make.doc, I did:

cp ux-gcc-x.mak makefile
ln -s /usr/include/X11 X11
make

First problem was with the makefile.  It uses "cc" in some places and
"$(GCC)" in others.  GCC is not defined.  I added "GCC=gcc" and
changed all explicit references to "cc" to "$(GCC)"

Second problem is in gxdevice.h, where struct gx_device_s is referred
to by struct gx_device_procs_s and vice versa.  gcc complains no
matter which one I put first in the file.

There's more, but things went rapidly downhill.  All the other GNU
tools build very easily, so I'm taking time out to ask here if I'm
missing anything simple.
