I used the standard sources from the tarball.All went fine until linking.http://pastebin.com/QSKvLSmTHere's the end of the transcript:Compiling raster.c...raster.c:1: warning: -fPIC ignored for target (all code is position independent)Linking libcupsimage.so.2...../cups/libcups.a(file.o): In function `cupsFileRewind':/opt/cups/cups-1.4.8/cups/file.c:1465: undefined reference to `_inflateEnd'../cups/libcups.a(file.o): In function `cups_fill':/opt/cups/cups-1.4.8/cups/file.c:2096: undefined reference to `_crc32'/opt/cups/cups-1.4.8/cups/file.c:2098: undefined reference to `_inflateInit2_'/opt/cups/cups-1.4.8/cups/file.c:2133: undefined reference to `_inflate'/opt/cups/cups-1.4.8/cups/file.c:2136: undefined reference to `_crc32'../cups/libcups.a(file.o): In function `cupsFileSeek':/opt/cups/cups-1.4.8/cups/file.c:1569: undefined reference to `_inflateEnd'../cups/libcups.a(file.o): In function `cups_compress':/opt/cups/cups-1.4.8/cups/file.c:1873: undefined reference to `_crc32'/opt/cups/cups-1.4.8/cups/file.c:1900: undefined reference to `_deflate'../cups/libcups.a(file.o): In function `cupsFileOpenFd':/opt/cups/cups-1.4.8/cups/file.c:996: undefined reference to `_deflateInit2_'/opt/cups/cups-1.4.8/cups/file.c:1002: undefined reference to `_crc32'../cups/libcups.a(file.o): In function `cupsFileClose':/opt/cups/cups-1.4.8/cups/file.c:121: undefined reference to `_inflateEnd'/opt/cups/cups-1.4.8/cups/file.c:150: undefined reference to `_deflate'/opt/cups/cups-1.4.8/cups/file.c:174: undefined reference to `_deflateEnd'collect2: ld returned 1 exit statusMakefile:331: recipe for target `libcupsimage.so.2' failedmake[1]: *** [libcupsimage.so.2] Error 1Makefile:34: recipe for target `all' failedmake: *** [all] Error 1What to do?
CUPS compilation fails on Cygwin
compiling;cygwin;cups;linker
Have a look at the CUPS port in cygwin-ports, they provide version 1.4.6 as of January 30th 2011.It patches quite a lot...
