I want to build GhostScript 9.04 for Win32 and I have read the documentation to do so which details creating your own makefile project.
I was just curious about the "ghostscript.vcproj" I'm finding in the top level directory. If I convert this to VS2010, I seem to get a good build out of it.
Is there any reason not to use this "ghostscript.vcproj"? The build commandline seems to have some extra stuff in it than what is detailed in the documentation, so I was worried that it might be making some kind of specialized build. See below
nmake -f psi\msvc32.mak SBR=1 DEVSTUDIO= && nmake -f psi\msvc32.mak DEVSTUDIO= bsc
You can use the solutions supplied, they are fine and its what we use. If you would rather use nmake and the makefiles then that's fine too, the solutions simply use the makefiles so its sort of the same, just more convenient in some ways if you are using Visual Studio.
The 'extra stuff' is in there to support the visual studio source browser, basically to improve the experience when using Visual Studio, its not essential.
I'll see about updating the documentation in make.htm.
