User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/cups-filters
Install CUPS Filters by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --localstatedir=/var \ --docdir=/usr/share/doc/cups-filters-1.0.45 \ --without-rcdir \ --with-gs-path=/usr/bin/gs \ --with-pdftops-path=/usr/bin/gs \ --disable-static && make
To test the results, issue: make check 2>&1 >testlog.
Now, as the root
user:
make install
--without-rcdir
: This
switch disables installation of the bundled bootscript which is not
compatible with BLFS.
--with-gs-path=/usr/bin/gs
:
This switch defines the path to the GhostScript binary in case ghostscript-9.10 is not
installed at build time.
--with-pdftops-path=/usr/bin/gs
: This
switch defines the path to the GhostScript binary in case ghostscript-9.10 is not
installed at build time.
--disable-static
: This
switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
make check 2>&1 >testlog: the testsuite dumps a stream of bytes into the input buffer after it finishes. Sending the output to a file keeps the history usable, but some debug information will still appear on the screen.
--with-test-path=
: if you wish to run
the tests, but you do not have the default VALUE
/usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf
use this
switch to specify where DejaVuSans.ttf
(or perhaps some other text TTF
font - untested) is located.
