using gsdll32.dll without installation

[t***@gmx.de]

hi,

i wrote a application (vc/mfc) wich uses gsdll32.dll to display pdf
files. It works fine if ghostscript is installed on the target machine.


My Question:
Is it possible to run my application without installing the whole
ghostscript package? Just distributing the neccesary files in to the
applications directory?

thanks
Torsten

At a minimum, you will need gsdll32.dll, lib/gs_*.ps, lib/Fontmap,
lib/Fontmap.GS and some fonts. You will also need to set the -I
command line option to point to the directory containing the lib files
and fonts.

I'd also read the licence very carefully. You probably have to at least
include the file that describes the licence (e.g. COPYING.TXT). There
may be other GNU or Aladdin licence requirements that you need to follow.
