FYI
I just downloaded the ghostscript 7.0 source and for the heck of it
just tried the makefile linked from my page with out applying any of
the other fixes that I mention
Lo and behold gs compiled and made pdf's of all the examples. :-))
This was on a binary mounted drive so there may be a fopen bug
lurking somewhere but ....
My question to the list is
"Should I submit my makefile to the ghostscript maintainers
for inclusion in the main ghostscript distribution as cygwin.mak"
Then I believe to get a functional ghostscript one would only
need to unpack the tarball and do
% ln -s src/cygwin.mak
% make
Cheers
