ippsample install

[ravirajbasis]

Hi

Trying to install ippsample in FreeBSD Unix 12.x!

Downloaded & extracted zip archive for ippsample.

Installed using: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
ends in: configure: WARNING: no configuration information is in libcups

make stops with error code 1

How to troubleshoot?

Thanks

So I tested both the .tar.gz and .zip files for the 2023.03 snapshot - both worked on Linux and macOS. I don't have a FreeBSD VM that I can test with, unfortunately.

Can you attach the complete output from the configure script?

[wifiprintguy]

Could this be a git / submodule issue?

[michaelrsweet]

@wifiprintguy No, this is with the ZIP archive I posted (for people who cannot use Git to checkout the code).

OK, one last thing, run "ls -l libcups"...

OK, did you download the ZIP file from the releases or just from the Github "get code" button? Because the Github button won't give you everything (it doesn't handle submodules).

Hi

Downloaded zip file from github get code button!

What to do next?

Thanks

[michaelrsweet]

Go to the releases page and download an actual release archive, or use Git to download the code so you can get the submodules, as described in the README.md file...

Used release page to download zip file.

OK, it looks like you are missing something - the configure output stops before the st_gen member check. Can you attach the "libcups/config.log" file?

Hi

/libcups/config.log is attached below.

Aha, it looks like there was a typo in the configure script for libcups.

OK, so what you really need (for ippfind, ipptool, and the other IPP commands) is just the libcups project. I'm pushing a fix for the configure script now (and you can just grab the ZIP file for that repo since it doesn't use submodules) but there won't be another ippsample release until next month...
