Using the bash script shown below I have created a Slackware
Package for the latest version of hplip. (This script has
been used for several years with each new release of hplip &
hpoj before the project name change, modified appropriately.)
#!/bin/bash
#2007JUN29
NAME=hplip
V=2.7.6
SRCNAME=$NAME-$V.tar.gz
PKGNAME=$NAME-$V-i686-rds.tgz
BUILD=$TMPDIR/$NAME-$V
PKG=$BUILD/slack
DEV0=/dev/null
Build()
{
if [[ ! -e $SRCNAME ]]
then echo Fetch $SRCNAME ; setterm -cursor on ; exit
fi
echo Extract ; rm -fr $BUILD ; tar -xzf $SRCNAME ; cd $BUILD
echo Configure
./configure --disable-network-build --disable-pp-build \
--disable-gui-build --disable-foomatic-xml-install \
--disable-doc-build --enable-foomatic-ppd-install \
--prefix=/usr &>configureLog
echo Build ; make &>$DEV0
echo Install ; mkdir $PKG ; make install DESTDIR=$PKG &>$DEV0
}
Package()
{
if [[ ! -d $BUILD ]]
then echo $BUILD does NOT exist ; setterm -cursor on ; exit
else cd $BUILD
fi
echo Package ; cd $PKG
makepkg -l y -c n $TMPDIR/$PKGNAME &>$DEV0
}
cd $TMPDIR ; setterm -cursor off ; clear
Build
Package
echo Done ; setterm -cursor on
#/.hplip ... why?
It builds, installs, & functions flawlessly!
But, on rebooting the system, it places a spurious /.hplip directory
containing an empty hplip.conf file. The proper ~/.hplip/hplip.conf file
is there with correct data. I delete it with a rm command in my boot
script (/etc/profile.d/bash.sh). How can this be fixed? (A minor
display annoyance otherwise.)
Please note also that the latest version now needs libtiff to build.
That is not in your system requirements section.
And, finally, it's great that you got rid of the hp daemons. But, why
not stop python as well? Python remains resident after the first
invocation of any hplip use.
Thanks.
