INSTALL - OpenPrinting CUPS Filters v1.0.36 - 2013-08-13
--------------------------------------------------------
This file describes how to compile and install OpenPrinting CUPS
Filters from source code. For more information on OpenPrinting CUPS
Filters see the file called "README.txt". A complete change log can
be found in "CHANGES.txt".
**** IF YOU HAVE A NON-POSTSCRIPT PRINTER AND ARE NOT ****
**** RUNNING MAC OS X, YOU WILL ALSO NEED TO INSTALL GPL ****
**** GHOSTSCRIPT WITH THE "cups" DRIVER AFTER YOU INSTALL ****
**** CUPS AND BEFORE YOU INSTALL THIS PACKAGE. ****
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
You'll need ANSI-compliant C and C++ compilers, plus a make program and
POSIX-compliant shell (/bin/sh). The GNU compiler tools and Bash work well
and we have tested the current CUPS code against several versions of GCC
with excellent results.
The makefiles used by the project should work with most versions of make.
We've tested them with GNU make as well as the make programs shipped by
Compaq, HP, SGI, and Sun. BSD users should use GNU make (gmake) since BSD
make does not support "include".
Poppler, libijs, freetype, fontconfig, and liblcms (liblcms2 recommended)
must be installed to be able to compile this package.
Note that Poppler has to be compiled with the
"--enable-poppler-cpp" configure option (or the
"libpoppler-cpp-dev(el)" package has to be installed if the
Poppler packages from a Linux distribution are used).
Besides these tools you'll want the JPEG, PNG, TIFF, ZLIB libraries for
image support. CUPS Filters will compile and run without these, however
you'll miss out on many of the features provided by CUPS Filters.
To get cups-browsed, the daemon to browse Bonjour broadcasts of
remote CUPS queues and make the queues available locally, you also
need libavahi-common and libavahi-client.
COMPILING THE BZR REPOSITORY CODE
The CUPS Filters BZR repository doesn't hold a copy of the pre-built
configure script. You'll need to run the GNU autoconf software (2.65 or
higher) to create it:
./autogen.sh
CONFIGURATION
CUPS Filters uses GNU autoconf, so you should find the usual "configure"
script in the main CUPS Filters source directory. To configure CUPS
Filters for your system, type:
./configure
The default installation will put the CUPS Filters software in the
"/etc" and "/usr" directories on your system, which will overwrite
some of the original filters and their auxiliary files of CUPS
1.5.x or earlier and the auxiliary files of bannertops in all CUPS
versions including version 1.6.x (see also the section "PACKAGING
THE SOFTWARE FOR OPERATING SYSTEM DISTRIBUTIONS" below). The
system will still have the same functionality as before, but CUPS
will not convert all incoming files into PostScript any more, it
will convert them into PDF instead and after applying page
management (N-up, selected pages, reverse order, ...) by the
pdftopdf filter and convert PDF into the printer's native format
then (PDF-based printing workflow). CUPS 1.6.x or later does not
contain any filters which this package provides. It requires the
installation of this package for printing with filters and drivers
under Linux (or other non-Mac-OS-X operation systems).
Use the "--prefix" option to install the CUPS Filters software in another
location:
./configure --prefix=/some/directory
To see a complete list of configuration options, use the --help option:
./configure --help
If any of the dependent libraries are not installed in a system default
location (typically "/usr/include" and "/usr/lib") you'll need to set the
CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, DSOFLAGS, and LDFLAGS environment variables
prior to running configure:
setenv CFLAGS "-I/some/directory"
setenv CPPFLAGS "-I/some/directory"
setenv CXXFLAGS "-I/some/directory"
setenv DSOFLAGS "-L/some/directory"
setenv LDFLAGS "-L/some/directory"
./configure ...
or:
CFLAGS="-I/some/directory" \
CPPFLAGS="-I/some/directory" \
CXXFLAGS="-I/some/directory" \
DSOFLAGS="-L/some/directory" \
LDFLAGS="-L/some/directory" \
./configure ...
Once you have configured things, just type:
make ENTER
or if you have FreeBSD, NetBSD, or OpenBSD type:
gmake ENTER
to build the software.
INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE
Once you have built the software you need to install it. The "install"
target provides a quick way to install the software on your local system:
make install ENTER
or for FreeBSD, NetBSD, or OpenBSD:
gmake install ENTER
PACKAGING THE SOFTWARE FOR OPERATING SYSTEM DISTRIBUTIONS
The use of cups-filters is supported for CUPS from version 1.5.x
on (to switch to the PDF-based printing workflow already now) and
required for CUPS 1.6.x (as it does not ship a complete filter set
any more). In both cases cups-filters ships some files which exist
also in CUPS, but the versions of cups-filters have to be used to
assure that printing works correctly. So in the packaging of CUPS
the files should be removed.
Use the alternatives facility (see update-alternatives(8)) only if
your CUPS version is 1.5.x and you want to make the use of
cups-filters optional. Note that then the files of cups-filters
need to have priority.
When using cups-filters with CUPS 1.5.x, many of the original CUPS
filters get replaced or at least useless. Please remove the
following files from your CUPS package:
/usr/lib/cups/backend/serial
/usr/lib/cups/backend/parallel
/usr/lib/cups/filter/bannertops
/usr/lib/cups/filter/commandtoescpx
/usr/lib/cups/filter/commandtopclx
/usr/lib/cups/filter/imagetops
/usr/lib/cups/filter/imagetoraster
/usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftops
/usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertoescpx
/usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertopclx
/usr/lib/cups/filter/texttops
/usr/share/cups/banners/*
/usr/share/cups/data/testprint
/usr/share/cups/data/psglyphs
/usr/share/cups/fonts/*
Also comment out all conversion rules which use any of the removed
filters. You can do it with the following command line:
perl -p -i -e 's:^(.*\s+(pdftops|texttops|imagetops|bannertops|imagetoraster)\s*)$:#\1:' /usr/share/cups/mime/mime.convs
If you use CUPS 1.6.x there is less to remove from the CUPS
package. It is only bannertops and its auxiliary files which are
in the way for bannertopdf:
/usr/lib/cups/filter/bannertops
/usr/share/cups/banners/*
/usr/share/cups/data/testprint
The conversion rules get commented out via:
perl -p -i -e 's:^(.*\s+bannertops\s*)$:#\1:' /usr/share/cups/mime/mime.convs
For CUPS 1.6.x a bug report/feature request is posted to ask for
(at least optional) removal of bannertops:
