A tip for those who are trying to use gsprint with Emacs on Windows 7: you will need to force gsprint to use the 64-bit version of gsview; by default, it tries to launch the 32-bit version.
To see if you’re experiencing the same issue, try running gsprint from a CMD prompt. If you see the message “Failed to exec program c:\{path\to}\gswin32.exe”, read on.
On my machine, I created a configuration file called gsprint.cfg containing the following two lines:
-ghostscript
“C:\Applications\gs\gs9.02\bin\gswin64c.exe”
This is placed in the same directory as gsprint.exe.
See documentation at http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/gsview/gsprint.htm for more details.
]]>I do believe it was a path problem, however when I started hitting cygwin stupid things would break like rgrep. For example, rgrep expects paths like d:/workspace and cygwin expects them /cygdrive/d/workspace. I believe there is a fix for this too, in the end I gave up and uses windows compiled versions of the binaries that came with GNU WIN32.
Thanks for the tips they were helpful!
]]>PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\cygwin\bin ….
You will have the problem. The Windows FIND command is the one giving the parameter complaint.
]]>If so, is aspell.exe in your path (check by doing M-x shell RET aspell RET)
Or, if you don’t want to put it into the PATH, you can add its directory to exec-path
Hope this helps!
]]>Any ideas?
