I add the extra info ( --infodir=/usr/info\) in the config file but I am not sure if its right.

Also after make install I have clear the "doc" manipulation and package creation but I don't know when why to choose the other one, could you please tell me a bit more when should add them?

NOTE: I un comment the folder creation once to create the folder
#rm -rf $PKG
#mkdir -p $TMP $PKG $OUTPUT
But I guess this could have be done by hand.

UPDATE:
I want to see what is installed by "foomatic-filters-4.0.12-i486-1" which its on my system, how do I do that?

UPDATE2:

Looking at the package on here which is foomatic-filters-4.0.12-i486-1.txz I am assuming its like the one in my system.

after looking at mine that just created its like:

Quote:

etc/foomatic/filter.conf
etc/foomatic/direct/

install/doinst.sh

I am missing some bits like desc file, also there are different like on the doc folder.

I also look at the same package of older version here and there is nothing like doc folder so how does it generate the doc documentation?

Here is the script I used:

UPDATE3: I now try to compile foomatic-db-engine here but that is getting even worse.

It not loading the command neither the data base,

I did the same as the other package describe before, in the USAGE file say its a simple as ./config, make , make install, with some minor variation so I have the whole full like the one before but in the package are lots of stuff missing.

Could please someone with more experience guide me here, Thanks

UPDATE4:

If you look here you could see how older package from the same "db" should look like here

I checked and I have only installed filters one.

So I wanted to try to install a newer version but I am getting stuck in the packet install configuration.

The script seen to be stopping in info part.

I am un compress the package and so I dont need to work with the uncompress part so create the following script inside the un-compress folder:

I add the extra info ( --infodir=/usr/info\) in the config file but I am not sure if its right.

Also after make install I have clear the "doc" manipulation and package creation but I don't know when why to choose the other one, could you please tell me a bit more when should add them?

Hi Peter, is there any reason you don't use Patrick's SlackBuild? I suggest you take a look at the SlackBuilds.org site info about building packages. The "info" pages for example are not usually there, and the stock Slackware foomatic-filters package does not have such, so comment it out if you see there is none. About the doc folder: You commented CODEout that section, so if the program itself does not put anything there it's completely up to you to copy some files from the source folder there - if you like.

foomatic-db-engine: Don't know where it hangs for you. With

Code:

./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 --mandir=/usr/man

make

make install DESTDIR=/path/to/folder

I seem to get reasonable results. Can't test it actually, but that is copied to DESTDIR:

There still some file missing, just wondering you didnt use current?

I am very interested on having "foomatic-datafile" which its not being created on my and you have it on yours

No sorry, not on current but I tried it on 14.0 only.

No sorry, not on current but I tried it on 14.0 only.

Could you please tell me what version did you try? Thanks

Of course - the version is "foomatic-db-engine-4.0-20130802" and I compiled it on Slackware64 14.0 (some packages are not stock packages anymore, but most are).

Its very strange you will have that package and I dont, even now I am in improve/test stage as I manage to make it print with foomatic you can see my other post about cups. I manage to do it with ppdfile one maybe its the same one? I dont know at this stage.

Also none one mention me before about "https://github.com/PhantomX" seen to have a large amount of package are those for Slackware 14 too?

Sorry, don't know about that. I use only sbopkg with the slackbuilds.org SlackBuilds, AlienBob's and Robbie Workman's packages as well as some that I mainain for myself.

I don't use foomatic nowadays, was just curious if your build problem was reproducable here. So I cannot say if the package would work as needed/intended.
