The libcupsfilters library contains filter functions for the data format conversion tasks needed in Printer Applications. It also contains several API functions for developing printer drivers/Printer Applications.
Development versions of BLFS may not build or run some packages properly if LFS or dependencies have been updated since the most recent stable versions of the books.

Install libcupsfilters by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr \ --disable-static \ --docdir=/usr/share/doc/libcupsfilters-2.1.0 && make
To test the results, issue make check. DejaVu fonts are needed for the tests.
Now, as the root
user:
make install
--disable-static
: This
switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
--with-test-font-path=
: If you wish to run
the tests, but you do not have the default VALUE
/usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf
font
installed, use this switch to specify where DejaVuSans.ttf
(or perhaps some other text TTF
font - though this is untested) is located.
