Hi Johannes, If you want to build hpijs with-out the libcups.so dependency, build hpijs with-out hplip support.
For example if you want to build hpijs for use with other spoolers, don't use the top-level hplip makefile, use configure/make in the hpijs directory. There is a hpijs configure time "hplip-build" flag that defaults to false if you don't use the top-level make file. -dave > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf > Of Johannes Meixner > Sent: Monday, January 08, 2007 7:30 AM > To: hplip-devel@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [HPLIP-Devel] /usr/bin/hpijs requires libcups.so > > > Hello, > > I am using HPLIP 1.6.12 > > According to the "ldd /usr/bin/hpijs" output HPIJS requires > now libcups.so (up to HPLIP 1.6.10 it didn't require it). > > I would like to ask how HPIJS can be used with a non-CUPS > printing system (e.g. LPRng) when it requires the CUPS library? > > It seems > http://hplip.sourceforge.net/tech_docs/overview.html > --------------------------------------------------------------- > HPIJS is still backward compatible with existing spoolers > --------------------------------------------------------------- > is no longer 100% true - o.k. strictly speaking it is somehow > "backward compatible" but I would understand it as if it > would work without any CUPS stuff. > > It would be nice if you could implement CUPS specific stuff > in /usr/bin/hpijs for example via "dlopen" so that > /usr/bin/hpijs could fall back to work as before when there > is no CUPS library. > > At least for us (i.e. for openSUSE 10.2) it should be no > problem when /usr/bin/hpijs requires the CUPS library because > we provide the CUPS library in a seperated RPM package > cups-libs which does not conflict with our lprng package > (only our packages cups and cups-client conflict with lprng), > you may have a look at > http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Printer_Configuration_from_SUSE_LIN > UX_9.2_on > "...switch from CUPS to LPRng..." > > > Kind Regards > Johannes Meixner > -- > SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5 Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > 90409 Nuernberg, Germany WWW: http://www.suse.de/ > > -------------------------------------------------------------- > ----------- > Take Surveys.
