#34962: ghostscript cannot be built for archs that cannot be run ----------------------------------+------------------------ Reporter: frederic.devernay@… | Owner: takanori@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.1 Resolution: | Keywords: haspatch Port: ghostscript | ----------------------------------+------------------------ Comment (by frederic.devernay@…): This problem still exists with GS 9.06 and the 9.05 patches still apply. There are actually other issues with cross-compiling ghostscript (the ghostscript manual states that configuration files have to be manually edited), and these issues are usually fixed by cross-toolchains, see for example http://repository.timesys.com/buildsources/g/ghostscript/ghostscript-9.05/ http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky-contrib/tree/meta/recipes- extended/ghostscript or the patches for embedded linux distributions such as Wind River linux. I guess the GS developpers don't care much about cross-compiling To properly cross-compile gs (version 9.05 or 9.06), one may apply the ghostscript-9.05-cross.patch and ghostscript-9.05-cross-so.patch that can be found at that http://repository.timesys.com/buildsources/g/ghostscript/ghostscript-9.05/ . I didn't try with the pokylinux files from http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky-contrib/tree/meta/recipes- extended/ghostscript but they are probably similar. With these patches, I was able to build +universal (i386 and x86_64) on a Core Duo (running Snow Leopard), and +universal (i386 and ppc) on a PPC iMac G5 running Leopard. I'm also attaching the modified Portfile for gs 9.06 (I didn't increment the revision). -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/34962#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
