Fink's version 1.1.10 of CUPS is very old. If you adapt the fink info file to the latest released version 1.1.14 or, better yet, to a snapshot of the CVS sources, you don't need any patch file any more. The "InstallScript: make BUILDROOT=%d install" works OK. It compiles without problems, but it installs some stuff into /System/Library/StartupItems/PrintingServices to get started at bootup. In a definitive Fink package, this would probably have to be replaced by something based on daemonic. To make the web interface work, I had to add some lines to /sw/etc/cupsd.conf: Around line 651: AuthType Basic AuthClass User And then "Allow From" lines for any machine from which you want to use this web interface. -- Martin _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
