Installation of CUPS Filters
Install CUPS Filters by running
the following commands:
./configure \
--prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--localstatedir=/var \
--without-rcdir \
--disable-static \
--with-gs-path=/usr/bin/gs \
--with-pdftops-path=/usr/bin/gs \
--docdir=/usr/share/doc/cups-filters-1.8.2 &&
make
To test the results, issue: make
check 2>&1 >testlog.
Now, as the root
user:
make install
Command Explanations
--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-9.18 is not
installed at build time.
--with-pdftops-path=/usr/bin/gs
: This
switch defines the path to the GhostScript binary in case ghostscript-9.18 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=VALUE
: if you wish to run
the tests, but you do not have the default /usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf
use this
switch to specify where DejaVuSans.ttf
(or perhaps some other text TTF
font - untested) is located.
