Re: Making gnu-ghostscript-8.71.1 fails ion HP-UX11, macro expansion too big

[Jose E. Marchesi]

Hello.

    When running command make in gnu-ghostscript, makefile = base/
    unixansi.mak
    it will not do anything but complaining:
    "Make macro expansion too big. Stop."

Seems that there is something in that makefile exceeding the
capabilities of your make program.  Is the error message identifying a
concrete line in the makefile?  I can't test it here since I don't have
access to a hp-ux machine.  What make are you using?

    or is there a workaround for this fatal limitation?

You could try to install GNU make and to use it to build ghostscript.
