Re: Setting GS_LIB_DEFAULT and other paths on Windows

[John Brown]

Hello All,

I found the thread
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.printing.ghostscript.devel/3619
in which Chris Liddell <at> artifex.com says:
"configure/make is for Unix-like systems, not for Windows."

I hope that he did not mean to say that it is unreasonable to
expect to be able to build Ghostscript by running
configure/make in MSYS. If he meant to say that Ghostscript is set
up for `configure' on POSIX systems and MSVC on Windows, I can accept
that.

The problem is that the documentation at
http://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.06/Make.htm#MSys/Mingw clearly states
that "The configure build can be used to build Ghostscript on MSys/Mingw
systems ...". If that is not the case then the paragraph concerning
MSYS/MinGW should be corrected.

Regards,
John Brown.
