Here's what I've been using to compile LPRng source code. Beware that you need the LPRng source as well as LPRng-tools to achieve max utility.
The current source code tree is up to 3.8.5... I'd appreicate any feedback on my compile script... beware word wrap/warp... #!/bin/bash ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --with-lockfile='/var/spool/lpd' --with-filter_path="/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/shhare/printfilter:/etc/config.d/print/filters:/usr/libexec/LPRng-3.8.5" --with-groupid=lp --with-lpddir='/usr/sbin' --with-admindir='/usr/sbin' --enable-setuid make #make install checkinstall ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K60lpd ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd /etc/rc.d/rc1.d/K60lpd ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S60lpd ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S60lpd ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd /etc/rc.d/rc4.d/S60lpd ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S60lpd ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K60lpd The above script closely duplicates the Caldera way of compiling LPRng and then creates the needed symlinks for the various init levels. As a side note... I've had all sorts of weird problems with cups in the workstation 3.1 distribution. Sometimes cups works, most times it fails. It seems to me that this is more beta code than user code... but then that's my personal opinion. LPRng on the other hand always worked well and that's what I'm going to use on my personal lan and the production lan at work. However... upgrading ws 3.1 to LPRng is not as clean as Caldera thinks. An LPRng rpm is provided in the 3.1 distro, but atempts to install it result in dependencies being reported. It appears there are a few file names that LPRng and cups use. This sucks. What I've been doing is this... I remove all cups related rpm's using the -nodpes option then go about building LPRng and LPRngTool from sources. If upon executing lpd you see the "can't bind to port 515" error... reboot your machine, there's cups stuff still in memory... Going into the various LPRng config files (printcap, etc) is beyond this simple message, but it's all covered in the lprng how-to and faq. Cheers all, there's light at the end of this cups tunnel! _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
