Strange problems with perfbook compilation

Strange problems with perfbook compilation

[Balbir Singh]

I am using Ubuntu 18.04 and make fails without too many details, a
little debug shows

CodeSamples/SMPdesign/smpalloc.canonical.eps -->
CodeSamples/SMPdesign/smpalloc.canonical.pdf
sh utilities/fixanepsfonts-urwps.sh
CodeSamples/SMPdesign/smpalloc.canonical.epsi
a2ping --below --hires --bboxfrom=compute-gs
CodeSamples/SMPdesign/smpalloc.canonical.epsi
CodeSamples/SMPdesign/smpalloc.canonical.pdf > /dev/null 2>&1

a2ping fails due to gs failure. I was able to keep the temporary file
and check what a2ping did, it eventually calls

which fails with

 gs -dWRITESYSTEMDICT -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=bbox
-sFN=CodeSamples/SMPdesign/smpalloc.canonical.epsi

An strace shows that

Halftones/Default is missing

openat(AT_FDCWD,
"/usr/share/ghostscript/9.22/Resource/Init/Halftone/Default",
O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

I could not find Halftone/Default anywhere in the apt-cache or on my filesystem

I was wondering if anyone else has run into similar issues and is debugging?

Warm Regards,

Hi,

This is a known issue of a2ping 2.77p with Ghostscript 9.22 or later.

This conflict is now detected in Makefile updated yesterday.
Please fetch the current master and see #7 in FAQ-BUILD.txt.

You need to manually download a2ping 2.83p.

If you have trouble with updating a2ping, please let me know.

Regards, Akira

I can confirm that this now works for me
