(Answer) (Category) SCO UnixWare 7/OpenUNIX 8/OpenServer 6 FAQ : (Category) Third Party Software and How to Compile Open Source Software :
Alladin Ghostscript gs7.00
ftp://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/ghost/AFPL/gs700/
  1)  Read the doc/build.htm
  2)  Read the doc/make.htm
  3)  Read the doc/install.htm
  4)  No host, no configure program.
  5)  Hard to build.  You can get away with skunkware gs, but don't bother
      if you care about your apps.
  6)  cd src
  7)  cp unix-gcc.mak unix-gcc.mak.orig
  8)  vi unix-gcc.mak
        At this point you have to modify the file and make a bunch of settings
        that are not easy to figure out.  You have to read and experiment a lot.
        Here's the variables that I changed or added, others that were left alon

        I'll not put in here:
INSTALL = /usr/local/bin/install JSRCDIR=/home/matthew/Uber/Gnome/jpeg-6b PSRCDIR=/home/matthew/Uber/Gnome/libpng-1.0.10 SHARE_LIBPNG=1 ZSRCDIR=/home/matthew/Uber/Gnome/zlib-1.1.3 SHARE_ZLIB=1 AR=/usr/local/bin/ar RANLIB=/usr/local/bin/ranlib XCFLAGS=-DSVR4 EXTRALIBS=-lsocket -lnsl STDLIBS=-pthread -lm XINCLUDE=-I/usr/X/include XLIBS=Xt SM ICE Xext X11 XLIBDIRS=-L/usr/X/lib XLIBDIR= SYNC=posync DEVICE_DEVS2=$(DD)cljet5.dev $(DD)stcolor.dev

   9) gmake
  10) Here's how to test it out.
        a)  cd lib
        b)  ../bin/gs ../examples/tiger.ps
11) gmake install 12) Fix perms if you have a strong umask like I do.
