[hylafax-users] Compiling ghostpdl with tiff3g target?

[David Ruggiero <jdavid@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Apologies as I know this isn’t the Ghostscript list, but I know someone here has dealt directly with this….

 

I’m faxing PCL-based documents and using GhostPDL to convert these first (additional processing has to be done on the image before Hylafax sees them). Ideally I’d like GhostPDL to put out TIFF files directly, but when I try –sDEVICE=tiffg3, it fails and says it’s not in the valid list of output devices (see below).

 

I have the GhostPDL 1.53 source and it seems to include the target tiffg3 in the unix-gcc.mak file, but somehow that option isn’t getting turned on. Is there a compile-time option to make it a legal target? I’m not clueless about Makefiles, but this one is pretty large and hairy and if the answer is simply something I need to do on the command line….

 

Thanks for any help/advice.
