Hello Cygwin List,
I am needing to build Ghostscript from source and am using Cygwin (latest)
on WinNT to do it. I have gotten pretty far (I think) but the whole thing is
now stopped at a part that uses the pthreads (POSIX thread API). I am
getting a parse error from gcc and I wonder if anyone can help with a clue.
The section of code affected in the AFPL gs source is this:
----- code, watch for wrapping and low-flying owls -----
[filename: gp_psync.c,v 1.2 2000/09/19]
21 #include "std.h"
22 #include "malloc_.h"
23 #include <pthread.h>
24 #include "gserror.h"
25 #include "gserrors.h"
26 #include "gpsync.h"
// /--/
45
46 typedef struct pt_semaphore_t {
47 int count;
48 pthread_mutex_t mutex;
49 pthread_cond_t cond;
50 } pt_semaphore_t;
51
------ end code ------

----- end console text -- end low-flying owls -----
I really need (as opposed to am doing as an academic exercise of
some sort) to build this Ghostscript from source for my WinNT
system because I need to compile-in a custom device driver
("hpdj") for HP Officejet hardware.
If anyone has successfully built this newest release of gs on
Cygwin, perhaps you'd be kind enough to offer some clues about
your procedure. Or if anyone has some clue about pthreads and
how it figures, is it really necessary, etc.
Many Thanks,
