INSTALL - CUPS v2.3.3 - 2020-04-24
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
This file describes how to compile and install CUPS from source code. For more
|
|
information on CUPS see the file called "README.md". A complete change log can
|
|
be found in "CHANGES.md".
|
|
|
|
Using CUPS requires additional third-party support software and printer drivers.
|
|
These are typically included with your operating system distribution. Apple
|
|
does not endorse or support third-party support software for CUPS.

|

|
|
> b. code signing prevents replacement of system libraries and access to the

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
You'll need ANSI-compliant C and C++ compilers, plus a make program and POSIX-
|
|
compliant shell (/bin/sh). The GNU compiler tools and Bash work well and we
|
|
have tested the current CUPS code against several versions of GCC with excellent
|
|
results.
|
|
|
|
The makefiles used by the project should work with most versions of make. We've
|
|
tested them with GNU make as well as the make programs shipped by Compaq, HP,
|
|
SGI, and Sun. BSD users should use GNU make (gmake) since BSD make does not
|
|
support "include".
|
|
|
|
Besides these tools you'll want ZLIB library for compression support, the GNU
|
|
TLS library for encryption support on platforms other than iOS, macOS, or
|
|
Windows, and either MIT (1.6.3 or higher) or Heimdal Kerberos for Kerberos
|
|
support. CUPS will compile and run without these, however you'll miss out on
|
|
many of the features provided by CUPS.
|
|
|
|
On a stock Ubuntu install, the following command will install the required
|
|
prerequisites:
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install autoconf build-essential libavahi-client-dev \
|
|
libgnutls28-dev libkrb5-dev libnss-mdns libpam-dev \
|
|
libsystemd-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev zlib1g-dev
|
|
|
|
Also, please note that CUPS does not include print filters to support PDF or
|
|
raster printing. You *must* download GPL Ghostscript and/or the Open Printing
|
|
CUPS filters package separately to print on operating systems other than macOS.
|
|
|
|
|
|
CONFIGURATION
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
CUPS uses GNU autoconf, so you should find the usual "configure" script in the
|
|
main CUPS source directory. To configure CUPS for your system, type:
|
|
|
|
./configure
|
|
|
|
The default installation will put the CUPS software in the "/etc", "/usr", and
|
|
"/var" directories on your system, which will overwrite any existing printing
|
|
commands on your system. Use the `--prefix` option to install the CUPS software
|
|
in another location:
|
|
|
|
./configure --prefix=/some/directory
|
|
|
|
> Note: Current versions of macOS DO NOT allow installation to /usr with the
|
|
> default System Integrity Protection (SIP) settings.
|
|
|
|
To see a complete list of configuration options, use the `--help` option:
|
|
|
|
./configure --help
|
|
|
|
If any of the dependent libraries are not installed in a system default location
|
|
(typically "/usr/include" and "/usr/lib") you'll need to set the CFLAGS,
|
|
CPPFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, DSOFLAGS, and LDFLAGS environment variables prior to running
|
|
configure:
|
|
|
|
setenv CFLAGS "-I/some/directory"
|
|
setenv CPPFLAGS "-I/some/directory"
|
|
setenv CXXFLAGS "-I/some/directory"
|
|
setenv DSOFLAGS "-L/some/directory"
|
|
setenv LDFLAGS "-L/some/directory"
|
|
./configure ...
|
|
|
|
or:
|
|
|
|
CFLAGS="-I/some/directory" \
|
|
CPPFLAGS="-I/some/directory" \
|
|
CXXFLAGS="-I/some/directory" \
|
|
DSOFLAGS="-L/some/directory" \
|
|
LDFLAGS="-L/some/directory" \
|
|
./configure ...
|
|
|
|
The `--enable-debug` option compiles CUPS with debugging information enabled.
|
|
Additional debug logging support can be enabled using the
|
|
`--enable-debug-printfs` option - these debug messages are enabled using the
|
|
`CUPS_DEBUG_xxx` environment variables at run-time.
|
|
|
|
CUPS also includes an extensive set of unit tests that can be used to find and
|
|
diagnose a variety of common problems - use the "--enable-unit-tests" configure
|
|
option to run them at build time.
|
|
|
|
On macOS, use the `--with-archflags` option to build with the correct set of
|
|
architectures:
|
|
|
|
./configure --with-archflags="-arch i386 -arch x86_64" ...
|
|
|
|
Once you have configured things, just type:
|
|
|
|
make ENTER
|
|
|
|
or if you have FreeBSD, NetBSD, or OpenBSD type:
|
|
|
|
gmake ENTER
|
|
|
|
to build the software.
|
|
|
|
|
|
TESTING THE SOFTWARE
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Aside from the built-in unit tests, CUPS includes an automated test framework
|
|
for testing the entire printing system. To run the tests, just type:
|
|
|
|
make check ENTER
|
|
|
|
or if you have FreeBSD, NetBSD, or OpenBSD type:
|
|
|
|
gmake check ENTER
|
|
|
|
The test framework runs a copy of the CUPS scheduler (cupsd) on port 8631 in
|
|
/tmp/cups-$USER and produces a nice HTML report of the results.
|
|
|
|
|
|
INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
Once you have built the software you need to install it. The "install" target
|
|
provides a quick way to install the software on your local system:
|
|
|
|
make install ENTER
|
|
|
|
or for FreeBSD, NetBSD, or OpenBSD:
|
|
|
|
gmake install ENTER
|
|
|
|
Use the BUILDROOT variable to install to an alternate root directory:
|
|
|
|
make BUILDROOT=/some/other/root/directory install ENTER
|
|
|
|
You can also build binary packages that can be installed on other machines using
|
|
the RPM spec file ("packaging/cups.spec") or EPM list file
|
|
("packaging/cups.list"). The latter also supports building of binary RPMs, so
|
|
it may be more convenient to use.
|
|
|
|
You can find the RPM software at:
|
|
|
|
http://www.rpm.org/
|
|
|
|
The EPM software is available at:
|
|
|
|
https://michaelrsweet.github.io/epm
|
|
|
|
|
|
CREATING BINARY DISTRIBUTIONS WITH EPM
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The top level makefile supports generation of many types of binary distributions
|
|
using EPM. To build a binary distribution type:
|
|
|
|
make <format> ENTER
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
gmake <format> ENTER
|
|
|
|
for FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD. The <format> target is one of the following:
|
|
|
|
- "epm": Builds a script + tarfile package
|
|
- "bsd": Builds a *BSD package
|
|
- "deb": Builds a Debian package
|
|
- "pkg": Builds a Solaris package
|
|
- "rpm": Builds a RPM package
|
|
- "slackware": Build a Slackware package
|
|
|
|
|
|
GETTING DEBUG LOGGING FROM CUPS
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
When configured with the `--enable-debug-printfs` option, CUPS compiles in
|
|
additional debug logging support in the scheduler, CUPS API, and CUPS Imaging
|
|
API. The following environment variables are used to enable and control debug
|
|
logging:
|
|
|
|
- `CUPS_DEBUG_FILTER`: Specifies a POSIX regular expression to control which
|
|
messages are logged.
|
|
- `CUPS_DEBUG_LEVEL`: Specifies a number from 0 to 9 to control the verbosity of
|
|
the logging. The default level is 1.
|
|
- `CUPS_DEBUG_LOG`: Specifies a log file to use. Specify the name "-" to send
|
|
the messages to stderr. Prefix a filename with "+" to append to an existing
|
|
file. You can include a single "%d" in the filename to embed the current
|
|
process ID.
|
|
|
|
|
|
REPORTING PROBLEMS
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
If you have problems, *read the documentation first*! If the documentation does
|
|
not solve your problems, please post a message on the users forum at:
|
|
|
|
https://www.cups.org/
|
|
|
|
Include your operating system and version, compiler and version, and any errors
|
|
or problems you've run into. The "config.log" file and the output from the
|
|
configure script and make should also be sent, as it often helps to determine
|
|
the cause of your problem.
|
|
|
|
If you are running a version of Linux, be sure to provide the Linux distribution
|
|
you have, too.
