Ghostscript

[Christian Hennecke]

I would like to use the latest Ghostscript with XFree86/OS2. I have
been able to compile a version that works but when used with GSView it
causes a system hang. A while ago, somebody solved this problem by
giving the X-enabled version's executable and DLL different names
(gs.exe and gsdllx.dll). The executable poses no problem but I don't
know how to do this for the DLL.

Can anybody tell me what files in the source have to be changed?

Probably os2.mak and the gsdll2.def. A hex-editor might also work (but
isn't nice).

Rewrite os2.mak: Change "-Zomf -Zsys" to "-Zomf -Zmtd"
Re-compile gsview, and ghostscript with XFree86 feature will
work fine with gsview.
