Install libpaper by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --disable-static && make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root
user:
make install && mkdir -vp /etc/libpaper.d && cat > /usr/bin/run-parts << "EOF" #!/bin/sh # run-parts: Runs all the scripts found in a directory. # from Slackware, by Patrick J. Volkerding with ideas borrowed # from the Red Hat and Debian versions of this utility. # keep going when something fails set +e if [ $# -lt 1 ]; then echo "Usage: run-parts <directory>" exit 1 fi if [ ! -d $1 ]; then echo "Not a directory: $1" echo "Usage: run-parts <directory>" exit 1 fi # There are several types of files that we would like to # ignore automatically, as they are likely to be backups # of other scripts: IGNORE_SUFFIXES="~ ^ , .bak .new .rpmsave .rpmorig .rpmnew .swp" # Main loop: for SCRIPT in $1/* ; do # If this is not a regular file, skip it: if [ ! -f $SCRIPT ]; then continue fi # Determine if this file should be skipped by suffix: SKIP=false for SUFFIX in $IGNORE_SUFFIXES ; do if [ ! "$(basename $SCRIPT $SUFFIX)" = "$(basename $SCRIPT)" ]; then SKIP=true break fi done if [ "$SKIP" = "true" ]; then continue fi # If we've made it this far, then run the script if it's executable: if [ -x $SCRIPT ]; then $SCRIPT || echo "$SCRIPT failed." fi done exit 0 EOF chmod -v 755 /usr/bin/run-parts
--disable-static
: This
switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
mkdir -pv /etc/libpaper.d: libpaper expects that packages will install files into this directory.
cat > /usr/bin/run-parts <<
"EOF" : paperconfig
is a script which will invoke run-parts if /etc/libpaper.d
exists. No other BLFS package
installs this, so we create it here.
Create /etc/papersize
to set the
default system paper size. Issue the following command as the
root
user to set this to 'A4'
(libpaper prefers the lowercase form). You may wish to use a
different size, such as letter.
cat > /etc/papersize << "EOF" a4 EOF
