porting pips-lite?

porting started

OK, so tonight I got my feet wet and tried porting pipslite (pipslite_1.5.0-3.tar.gz) myself. After fixing an easy one (including malloc.h instead of stdlib.h), I hit another snag:
Code:

The problem is that as far as I can tell, configure has figured it out correctly:
First I check # cups-config:
Code: 
root@kg-v2# cups-config --ldflags
-Wl,-R/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib
and then I check what's in the Makefile:
Code: 
tingo@kg-v2$ grep CUPS_LDFLAGS ./src/filter-l2/Makefile
CUPS_LDFLAGS = -Wl,-R/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib
That looks correct to me. I tried googling, but didn't get anything that was helpful to me. Any pointer on how to fix this problem?
 
I forgot to say, but the answer is yes:
Code: 
root@kg-v2# portversion -v | grep cups
cups-base-1.4.6_4           =  up-to-date with port 
cups-client-1.4.6           =  up-to-date with port 
cups-image-1.4.6            =  up-to-date with port 
cups-pstoraster-8.15.4_6    =  up-to-date with port
I'll have a look at configure options and see if that can help.
 
OK, some more progress today. I'm currently using this configure line:
$ ./configure --with-libintl-prefix=/usr/local LIBS=-lintl LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib
Followed by
$ make clean; make

Which lands me here:
Code: 
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I../src/filter-l2/magick  -DCONFIG_FILE_PATH=\"/usr/local/etc/pipslite/pipslitedrc\"  -I/usr/local/include

That was it for today.

Make a port, using one of the other CUPS filter ports as a template.

That's the idea, I just need to get it to compile first. Hopefully I will have some time to work on it this week.
 
I was able to compile it with the following patch :

I meant that copying one of the existing ports may show how to get this one to compile on FreeBSD.

That patch helps - thanks!
But even so, for me it hangs at this sed command:
Code: 
gcc -g -O2 -Wall -o pipslited cbtd.o cbtd_comserv.o cbtd_datatrans.o cbtd_setup.o cbtd_signal.o cbtd_thread.o cbtd_wrapper.o ecbteg.o

sed "s,%model_name%,lite,;  s,%default_devpath%,/dev/usb/lp0,"  > pipslitedrc
I don't know why.
Update: ok, gmake worked better than make.
 
Ok, a new error:

AFAICT, __compar_fn_t is a Linuxism. Do we have something in FreeBSD that I should replace it with? (I tried Google, but didn't find anything promising).

@acheron: did you not get this error?

Well, I prefer to only deal with one problem at a time. :)
Getting into a port with dependencies and so on is something I'll tackle after I know what patches and so on to add to pipslite in order to get it compiled.
 
Ok, I added this to ./makeinstall/utility.c:
Code: 
#ifdef __FreeBSD__
typedef int (*__compar_fn_t) (__const void *, __const void *);
#endif
and now it compiles. Yay! ;^)
 
Ok, there is just one (more) thing I haven't figured out yet: why is there both a pipslite-filter and a pipslitel2-filter?
Here are the binaries in the build directories:
Code: 
tingo@kg-v2$ pwd
/home/tingo/work/pipslite
tingo@kg-v2$ find . -type f -perm +a=x -print
./debian/rules
./src/filter-l2/.libs/pipslitel2-filter
./src/filter-l2/pipslitel2-filter
./src/pipslitelp
./src/pipslite-wrapper
./src/pipslite-filter
./makeinstall/pipslite-install
./config.guess
./status-monitor/pipslitestm
./missing
./lib/.libs/liblite.so.1
./mkinstalldirs
./depcomp
./daemon/pipslited
./install-sh
./config.sub
./configure
./lib-l2/.libs/liblitel2.so.1
./libtool
./config.status
Just ignoring the obvious (scripts for the build process) suspects gives this list:
./src/filter-l2/pipslitel2-filter
./src/pipslitelp
./src/pipslite-wrapper
./src/pipslite-filter
./makeinstall/pipslite-install
./status-monitor/pipslitestm
./daemon/pipslited
(I skipped the libraries for brevity).
So what is the difference between pipslite-filter and pipslitel2-filter?
All the ppd files uses pipslite-wrapper as a filter, so no help in looking there.
 
picking up this old thread.
Tonight I got a bit further with testing. I ran
Code: 
su; gmake install
from the build directory.
Afterwards I configured my printer from the cups webinterface - worked nicely. However, the first test print failed, because cups couldn't find /usr/local/libexec/cups/filter/pipslite-wrapper
Somehow, the install process had copied a few files to /usr/local/local/libexec/cups/filter instead. i fixed that manually:
Code: 
root@kg-v2# cp -pv /usr/local/local/libexec/cups/filter/p* /usr/local/libexec/cups/filter
/usr/local/local/libexec/cups/filter/pipslitel2-filter -> /usr/local/libexec/cups/filter/pipslitel2-filter
/usr/local/local/libexec/cups/filter/pipslite-wrapper -> /usr/local/libexec/cups/filter/pipslite-wrapper
/usr/local/local/libexec/cups/filter/pipslite-filter -> /usr/local/libexec/cups/filter/pipslite-filter
root@kg-v2#
After that, printing works.
There is still one snag: if I try to print a file from the command line with lpr, like this:
Code: 
$ lpr -P printer filename.pdf
only the first page of the file is printed, and then cups reports (Jobs display, under the "state" column in the web interface):
Code: 
stopped
"/usr/local/libexec/cups/filter/pstoraster failed"
I don't know if this is a cups problem, or a pips-lite problem.
Printing the same file from within acroread works.
