[lsb-discuss] First attempt to build an LSB printer driver package

[Wichmann, Mats D]

>Can someone help me to get this working? Thanks.

Let me answer one question for you quickly:

>/usr/lib/libcups.a(file.o): In function `cups_compress':
>/tmp/work/cups-1.2.7/cups/file.c:1631: undefined reference to `crc32'
>/tmp/work/cups-1.2.7/cups/file.c:1658: undefined reference to `deflate'

These are functions in libz.

When you use lsbcc, non-LSB libraries are turned into
static links, thus libcups.a is being linked against
instead of libcups.so [note: if you've built your own
libcups.so there's a way to tell lsbcc to use it,
but that's not the question here].

libcups.so has a DT_NEEDED on libz

however, that information is not available automatically
when you link with the .a, so you have to force that to
be added to the link line.
