== GhostPDL ==
This is an implemenation of several page description languages on
top of the Ghostscript graphics library.
Ghostscript PCL5e, PCL5c and PXL documentation is in doc/ghostpcl.*
License is in LICENSE and COPYING. For information on support and
commercial distribution please contact http://artifex.com/
=== BUILD INSTRUCTIONS ===
If you are using GNU Make, a complete build can be generated by just
typing:
make
in the top level source directory. This will create three different
builds. In main/obj/pcl6 a build of GhostPCL with support for PCL5e,
PCL5c, and PXL. In language_switch/obj/pspcl6 a build of GhostPCL with
additional support for PostScript and PDF. In xps/obj/gxps a build
with support for XPS.
===
The same executables can be built with Microsoft Visual C by running
the appropriate *_mvsc.mak file through nmake. For example:
cd xps
nmake -f xps_msvc.mak
or
cd main
nmake -f pcl6_msvc.mak
There is also an experimental solution file which builds GhostXPS
as xps\obj\gxps.exe.
The makefiles default to supporting MSVC 9 (2008 edition)
To use another version, append it to the nmake command line,
for example:
cd main
nmake -f pcl6_msvc.mak MSVC_VERSION=6
===
To build just the xps interpreter with GNU make and gcc, type:
make xps
The executable will be xps/obj/gxps.
To build a shared language build with PCL/PXL and PostScript/PDF
make ls-product
The executable with be in language_switch/obj/pspcl6
===
Note for cygwin users
make CYGWIN=TRUE
make install
The CYGWIN variable will not include devices that depend on threads or
X11, neither are supported by the default cygwin system.
To build with a different font scaler use:
make PL_SCALER=afs ... # build using the Artifex Font scaler also the default.
make PL_SCALER=ufst ...# build with the AGFA Font Scaler.
We recommend doing a clean make prior to the changing the font scaler.
The default location for the fonts is /windows/fonts, but the current
working directory is also searched. If the fonts are placed in another
location the environment variable PCLFONTSOURCE must be set accordingly.
See the documentation for more details.
=== REQUIRED FONTS ===
The PCL interpreter requires access to the base 80 font set for proper
operation. Unfortunately this set isn't available under a free software
license, and may only be used and distributed under the AFPL license,
which forbids commercial use, or under a commercial agreement with
Artifex.
If your copy of GhostPDL includes these fonts, they should be available
in the 'urwfonts' directory. If not, they can be downloaded separately
from http://artifex.com/downloads/ just look for the newest set of 80
TrueType fonts.
