I don't use doc-view, so I can't really tell, but preview.el (part of
AUCTeX) uses "executable-find". Applied to
`doc-view-ghostscript-program', it could look like this:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defcustom doc-view-ghostscript-program
(or
;; The GS wrapper coming with TeX Live
(file-name-base (executable-find "rungs"))
;; The MikTeX builtin GS
(let ((gs (executable-find "mgs")))
;; Check if mgs is functional for external non-MikTeX apps.
;; See
http://blog.miktex.org/post/2005/04/07/Starting-mgsexe-at-the-DOS-Prompt.aspx
;; N.B.: Link doesn't work no more!
(when (and gs (= 0 (shell-command
(concat (shell-quote-argument gs)
" -q -dNODISPLAY -c quit"))))
(file-name-base gs)))
;; Windows Ghostscript
(file-name-base (executable-find "gswin64c.exe"))
(file-name-base (executable-find "gswin32c.exe"))
;; standard Ghostscript
"gs")
"Program to convert PS and PDF files to PNG."
:type 'file
:version "28.1")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Best, Arash
