Bug ID: 94117
Summary: Windows 64-bit and executable name of 64-bit build of
ghostscript -- gswin64c.exe
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.0.0.0.alpha0+ Master
Hardware: Other
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: graphics stack
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
LibreOffice for 64-bit Windows may require some additional work for executables
(external helpers) that have both 32-bit and 64-bit implementations.
The Ghostscript 64-bit installation goes to C:\Program Files\gs\gs9.16\ as does
the 32-bit build. However, the 64-bit executable is named "gswin64c.exe", the
32-bit is named "gswin32c.exe"
So while users can (and must) adjust their PATH environment to include external
helpers--i.e. convert, pstoedit, and the Ghostscript installs--there is a
hardcoded executable name of gswin32c in the source at:
http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/filter/source/graphicfilter/ieps/ieps.cxx#369
So, no way to run the 64-bit build of ghostscript that folks with 64-bit
Windows would otherwise be installing. And, without gswin32c on PATH (have to
test if symlink will work) the EPS gets mangled.
So while this affect only handling of EPS, wonder what other gems might be
hidden within #ifdef WNT flagged stanzas.
