20 | BEFORE YOU BEGIN | |
21 | ||
22 | You'll need ANSI-compliant C and C++ compilers, plus a make program and | |
23 | POSIX-compliant shell (/bin/sh). The GNU compiler tools and Bash work well | |
24 | and we have tested the current CUPS code against several versions of GCC | |
25 | with excellent results. | |
26 | ||
27 | The makefiles used by the project should work with most versions of make. | |
28 | We've tested them with GNU make as well as the make programs shipped by | |
29 | Compaq, HP, SGI, and Sun. BSD users should use GNU make (gmake) since BSD | |
30 | make does not support "include". | |
31 | ||
32 | Besides these tools you'll want ZLIB library for compression support, the | |
33 | CDSA, GNU TLS, or OpenSSL libraries for encryption support, and either MIT | |
34 | (1.6.3 or higher) or Heimdal Kerberos for Kerberos support. CUPS will | |
35 | compile and run without these, however you'll miss out on many of the | |
36 | features provided by CUPS. | |
37 | ||
38 | Also, please note that CUPS does not include print filters to support PDF | |
39 | or raster printing. You *must* download GPL Ghostscript and/or the Open | |
40 | Printing CUPS filters package separately to print on operating systems | |
41 | other than OS X. | |
42 | ||
43 | ||
44 | COMPILING THE SUBVERSION REPOSITORY CODE | |
45 | ||
46 | The CUPS Subversion repository doesn't hold a copy of the pre-built | |
47 | configure script. You'll need to run the GNU autoconf software (2.60 or | |
48 | higher) to create it: | |
49 | ||
50 | autoconf | |
51 | ||
52 | ||
53 | CONFIGURATION | |
54 | ||
55 | CUPS uses GNU autoconf, so you should find the usual "configure" script in | |
56 | the main CUPS source directory. To configure CUPS for your system, type: | |
57 | ||
58 | ./configure | |
59 | ||
60 | The default installation will put the CUPS software in the "/etc", "/usr", | |
61 | and "/var" directories on your system, which will overwrite any existing | |
62 | printing commands on your system. Use the "--prefix" option to install the | |
63 | CUPS software in another location: | |
64 | ||
65 | ./configure --prefix=/some/directory | |
66 | ||
67 | To see a complete list of configuration options, use the --help option: | |
68 | ||
69 | ./configure --help | |
70 | ||
71 | If any of the dependent libraries are not installed in a system default | |
72 | location (typically "/usr/include" and "/usr/lib") you'll need to set the | |
73 | CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, DSOFLAGS, and LDFLAGS environment variables | |
74 | prior to running configure: | |
75 | ||
76 | setenv CFLAGS "-I/some/directory" | |
77 | setenv CPPFLAGS "-I/some/directory" | |
78 | setenv CXXFLAGS "-I/some/directory" | |
79 | setenv DSOFLAGS "-L/some/directory" | |
80 | setenv LDFLAGS "-L/some/directory" | |
81 | ./configure ... | |
82 | ||
83 | or: | |
84 | ||
85 | CFLAGS="-I/some/directory" \ | |
86 | CPPFLAGS="-I/some/directory" \ | |
87 | CXXFLAGS="-I/some/directory" \ | |
88 | DSOFLAGS="-L/some/directory" \ | |
89 | LDFLAGS="-L/some/directory" \ | |
90 | ./configure ... | |
91 | ||
92 | The "--enable-debug" option compiles CUPS with debugging information | |
93 | enabled. Additional debug logging support can be enabled using the | |
94 | "--enable-debug-printfs" option - these debug messages are enabled using the | |
95 | CUPS_DEBUG_LOG environment variable at run-time. | |
96 | ||
97 | CUPS also includes an extensive set of unit tests that can be used to find | |
98 | and diagnose a variety of common problems - use the "--enable-unit-tests" | |
99 | configure option to run them at build time. | |
100 | ||
101 | Once you have configured things, just type: | |
102 | ||
103 | make ENTER | |
104 | ||
105 | or if you have FreeBSD, NetBSD, or OpenBSD type: | |
106 | ||
107 | gmake ENTER | |
108 | ||
109 | to build the software. | |
110 | ||
111 | ||
112 | TESTING THE SOFTWARE | |
113 | ||
114 | Aside from the built-in unit tests, CUPS includes an automated test | |
115 | framework for testing the entire printing system. To run the tests, just | |
116 | type: | |
117 | ||
118 | make check ENTER | |
119 | ||
120 | or if you have FreeBSD, NetBSD, or OpenBSD type: | |
121 | ||
122 | gmake check ENTER | |
123 | ||
124 | The test framework runs a copy of the CUPS scheduler (cupsd) on port 8631 | |
125 | in /tmp/cups-$USER and produces a nice HTML report of the results. | |
126 | ||
127 | ||
128 | INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE | |
129 | ||
130 | Once you have built the software you need to install it. The "install" | |
131 | target provides a quick way to install the software on your local system: | |
132 | ||
133 | make install ENTER | |
134 | ||
135 | or for FreeBSD, NetBSD, or OpenBSD: | |
136 | ||
137 | gmake install ENTER | |
138 | ||
139 | You can also build binary packages that can be installed on other machines | |
140 | using the RPM spec file ("packaging/cups.spec") or EPM list file | |
141 | ("packaging/cups.list"). The latter also supports building of binary RPMs, | |
142 | so it may be more convenient to use. | |
143 | ||
144 | You can find the RPM software at: | |
145 | ||
146 | http://www.rpm.org/ | |
147 | ||
148 | The EPM software is available at: | |
149 | ||
150 | http://www.msweet.org/ | |
151 | ||
152 | ||
153 | CREATING BINARY DISTRIBUTIONS WITH EPM | |
154 | ||
155 | The top level makefile supports generation of many types of binary | |
156 | distributions using EPM. To build a binary distribution type: | |
157 | ||
158 | make <format> ENTER | |
159 | ||
160 | or | |
161 | ||
162 | gmake <format> ENTER | |
163 | ||
164 | for FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD. The <format> target is one of the | |
165 | following: | |
166 | ||
167 | epm - Builds a script + tarfile package | |
168 | aix - Builds an AIX package | |
169 | bsd - Builds a *BSD package | |
170 | deb - Builds a Debian package | |
171 | depot - Builds a HP-UX package (also swinstall) | |
172 | inst - Builds an IRIX package (also tardist) | |
173 | pkg - Builds a Solaris package | |
174 | rpm - Builds a RPM package | |
175 | setld - Build a Tru64 UNIX package | |
176 | slackware - Build a Slackware package | |
177 | swinstall - Build a HP-UX package (also depot) | |
178 | tardist - Builds an IRIX package (also inst) | |
179 | ||
180 | ||
181 | GETTING DEBUG LOGGING FROM CUPS | |
182 | ||
183 | When configured with the "--enable-debug-printfs" option, CUPS compiles in | |
184 | additional debug logging support in the scheduler, CUPS API, and CUPS | |
185 | Imaging API. The following environment variables are used to enable and | |
186 | control debug logging: | |
187 | ||
188 | CUPS_DEBUG_FILTER Specifies a POSIX regular expression to control | |
189 | which messages are logged. | |
190 | CUPS_DEBUG_LEVEL Specifies a number from 0 to 9 to control the | |
191 | verbosity of the logging. The default level is 1. | |
192 | CUPS_DEBUG_LOG Specifies a log file to use. Specify the name "-" | |
193 | to send the messages to stderr. Prefix a filename | |
194 | with "+" to append to an existing file. | |
195 | ||
196 | ||
197 | REPORTING PROBLEMS | |
198 | ||
199 | If you have problems, READ THE DOCUMENTATION FIRST! If the documentation | |
200 | does not solve your problems, please post a message on the users forum at: | |
201 | ||
202 | http://www.cups.org/ | |
203 | ||
204 | Include your operating system and version, compiler and version, and any | |
205 | errors or problems you've run into. The "config.log" file and the output | |
206 | from the configure script and make should also be sent, as it often helps to | |
207 | determine the cause of your problem. | |
208 | ||
209 | If you are running a version of Linux, be sure to provide the Linux | |
210 | distribution you have, too. |
