Thanks, it works. And we get new issues.

Here, I have a few questions to ask.

This is my case:
-> First, I just use telnet to login, no X-windows environment. 
-> And I use cups to print files with various printers available, which
might be USB or network printers. 

QA:Based on the above cases,I think I don't have to use X11. So
--disable-gtk --with-x=no, right?

Here is my configuration.
$ ./configure --disable-gtk --with-x=no --disable-fontconfig
--includedir=/home/daniel/pilot/buildroot/build_arm/staging_dir/include/
--libdir=/home/daniel/pilot/buildroot/build_arm/staging_dir/lib/
--prefix=/home/daniel/ghostscript-8.64/test/

Since I don't have lib for tiff and ssl. So I have to remove the
following lines in obj/ld.tr to get cross-compile done.
-ltiff
-lssl

QA: will it cause any other trouble? Should I port tiff and ssl to demo
board? 


QA: And I noticed that we have optional packages, see below. I add
following configuration, but it didn't solve tiff issue. Should I use
default option?


--with-drivers=PRINTERS BMP FAX JPEG PBM PCX PNG PS CAIRO WTS ETS

  --with-drivers=LIST     Drivers to support, separated by commas.
                          Either list the drivers or use aliases:
                          ALL      = all drivers
                          FILES    = all file format drivers
                          PRINTERS = all printer drivers
                          Printers:
                          APPLE    = all Apple printers
                          BROTHER  = all Brother printers
                          CANON    = all Canon printers
                          EPSON    = all Epson printers
                          HP       = all HP printers
                          IBM      = all IBM printers
                          JAPAN    = older japanese printers
                          LEXMARK  = all Lexmark printers
                          OKI      = all OKI printers
			  PCLXL    = all PCL XL/6 printers
                          File formats:
                          BMP      = Output to bmp files
                          FAX      = Output to fax files
                          JPEG     = Output to JPEG files
                          PBM      = Output to PBM/PNM
                          PCX      = Output to PCX
			  PNG      = Output to PNG
                          PS       = Output to PostScript/PDF
                          TIFF     = Output to TIFF
                          CAIRO    = Output using libcairo
			  WTS      = WTS Halftoning devices
			  ETS      = ETS Halftoning devices
                          You can mix both variants, e.g.
                          --with-drivers=HP,stcolor would build HP
drivers and
                          the Epson stcolor driver.
                          Aliases must be uppercase (a 3rd party driver
might
                          have the same name).
                          Default: ALL

QA:As u know, that I have to test cups with ghostscript, or it will show
printer is not ready. Can I use the above configuration, which passed
cross-compile, to test cups?


Thanks in advance.
