Hi All

Preliminary instructions for building the 
Ghostscript Interpreter with Cygwin

These Instructions and support files at least temporarily live at
    http://www.vso.cape.com/~nhv/files/cygwin/gs6.62/

obligatory output example
    http://www.vso.cape.com/~nhv/files/cygwin/gs6.62/tiger.pdf

first get gs6.62   < other distributions ?may? work >
    http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/AFPL/tester.htm

Get the following additional distributions
and place them in the top $GS_SRC directory

IJG JPEG library:
    ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/ jpegsrc.v*.tar.gz

PNG library:
    ftp://swrinde.nde.swri.edu/pub/png/src/ libpng-*.tar.gz or lpng*.zip

zlib:
    ftp://ftp.uu.net/pub/archiving/zip/zlib/ zlib-*.tar.gz or zlib*.zip.

icclib:
   http://web.access.net.au/argyll/color.html
   see src / icclib.mak for necessary modifications for GS

mini-xlib: 
   http://www.io.com/~bub/dnload/xlib-src-d.tgz

rename these directories to zlib libpng jpeg icc xlib

copy myfiles from here on top of the files in $GS_SRC / src
   http://www.vso.cape.com/~nhv/files/cygwin/gs6.62/src

make a symbolic link in $GS_SRC to the cywin makefile
% ln -s Makefile src/cygwin.mak
% make

to test
% cd lib
% ../bin/gs -sDEVICE=jpeg -sOuputFile=../tiger.jpg ../examples/tiger.ps

There are still a few problems
notably png support but this is a start

Many thanks to 
 Bub for his mini-xlib
 Robert Collins for getting threading support
 and all the others that help make Cygwin what it is !

enjoy
