- Hi All,
-
- This is an update report on the problems with my port of Ghostscript 3.5.3
- running (not) on A4000-040 with Kickstart 3.1, maybe on more machines with 3.1
- and 040's.
-
- It is a problem in one of the math libraries of Kickstart 3.1. To get things
- running one needs the following archive from Aminet
- MathPatch.lha util/boot 3K+Patch for 68040 bug in "mathieeesingbas.
-
- I hope to find the place where GS uses one of the faulty instructions and
- maybe fix the source to work around having YAP in your system.
-
- After I have tackled the printer problems, I'll upload a full set of special
- compiled binaries in single archives, probably replacing the current
- 'gs353bin.lha'.
-
- For anyone without ftp/www access: you can mail me for the patch program, use
- 'PATCH' as subject field, you'll get a reply with 'MathPatch.lha' attached.
-
-
- For people wanting to recompile GS.
- Don't use -msoft-float if your computer has a FPU, sounds stupid todo but
- anyway.
- GCC options: -m68040 gives you an executable which works *without* the
- aforementioned patch program.
