Hello,

I am trying to compile cups and ghostscript for the phycore-am335x target using 
ptxdist.

Most of the work is done, and both packages compile and build successfully. The 
problem I have is that I cannot get ghostscript to create gstoraster which is 
needed for cups to work with non-Postscript printers.

I already know that ghostscript requires libcups and libcupsimage from the cups 
package. I am trying to install them with:

        # Install the libraries.
        @$(call install_lib, cups, 0, 0, 0644, libcups)
        @$(call install_lib, cups, 0, 0, 0644, libcupsimage)

To try and help install_lib find the right packages, I have added these 
commands into the makefile before the calls to install_lib:

        # Copy the built libraries into a place where they will be found.
        cp --recursive $(CUPS_DIR)/cups/usr $(CUPS_DIR)
        cp --recursive $(CUPS_DIR)/filter/usr $(CUPS_DIR)

CUPS puts libcups.so.2 in $(CUPS_DIR)/cups/usr/lib/ after it has built it and 
it makes a symbolic link from libcups.so to it there. It puts libcupsimage.so.2 
in $(CUPS_DIR)/filter/usr/lib/ after it has built it and it makes a symbolic 
link from libcupsimage.so to it there. The above copy commands make copies of 
these files in $(CUPS_DIR)/usr/lib.

The call to install libcups fails with the following:

Error: ptxd_lib_install: cannot find library 'libcups'!
make: *** 
[/home/z/z/phyCORE-AM335x-PD13.1.0/platform-phyCORE-AM335x/state/cups.targetinstall]
 Error 1
failed

I think I need to copy the libraries to somewhere else to get this to work, but 
I can't figure it out.

I saw something about the package's install stage having to be DESTDIR-aware. 
I'm not sure what that means, but I believe it might be related to this problem.

Thanks,

David Thomas
