Sorry for the inconvenience, but I tried to write a bbox - equivalent in perl and it was terribly slow. Therefore I stick to C, - because of much better performance. - ALTERNATIVELY you can use ps2eps option -g, then no bbox binary is - required. - -* How to install - - Please check that you have working - perl and ghostscript packages. - - Linux/UNIX-based platform - ========================= - 1.) install bbox - - If a bbox binary is included for your platform you simply move it - into any directory of the system search path. Otherwise, you have - to compile bbox.c first by invoking - cc -o bbox bbox.c. - (sometimes "make bbox" also works). - Please make sure that bbox is executable (chmod a+x bbox). - If you already have a working perl and a working ghostscript, you're - finished here, else you have to install them first. - - 2.) install ps2eps - On Unix platforms you simply move the perl script ps2eps into - a directory which is included in the system or personal search - path (e.g., /usr/local/bin, $home/bin). Please make sure that - ps2eps is executable (chmod a+x ps2eps). - - Windows-based platform - ====================== - Use the command line interpreter: - Copy bbox.exe from bin/win32/ directory into a directory that is - in your's or the system's search path for executables. Please try - to invoke bbox -h afterwards. - - The best possibility is to use associated file types under - Windows NT/2000/XP: - 1.) rename ps2eps to ps2eps.pl and - 2.) SET PATHEXT=.pl;%PATHEXT% or use the - settings -> control panel -> system -> "advanced" tab -> environment variables - and edit the PATHEXT entry accordingly. - 3.) then simply typing ps2eps should invoke ps2eps correctly - - Another option is to call perl directly: - perl ps2eps ... - - The script assumes that you have "gswin32c" as - postscript interpreter in your path. Under Windows ps2eps - can perform wildcard expansion now on its own. - -UPDATES -------- -Possibly you can find the newest version at the -following URL: -http://tm.uka.de/~bless/ps2eps |
