gsview is a viewer for Postscript and PDF using X.
gsview depends on: xfree86-4.3.0, GTK+-1.2.10 and GhostScript-8.00 (with libgs.so installed) |
gsview is an almost typical autoconf based package, but tries to install to unusual directories.
gsview uses netscape to browse through the online help. The usual LFS user doesn't want to install netscape, but uses mozilla or another browser. So simply edit srcunx/gvxreg.c using the following sed script:
mv srcunx/gvxreg.c srcunx/gvxreg.old && cat srcunx/gvxreg.old | sed s/netscape/<browser>/ > srcunx/gvxreg.c |
Note: Replace <browser> with the executable name of the browser you intend to use.
Install gsview by running the following commands:
sed 's|GSVIEW_ROOT=/usr/local|GSVIEW_ROOT=/usr|' \ srcunx/unx.mak > Makefile && make && make install |
sed 's|GSVIEW_ROOT=/usr/local|GSVIEW_ROOT=/usr|' |
