<title>Installation of CUPS Filters</title>
<para>
Install <application>CUPS Filters</application> by running the following
commands:
</para>
<screen><userinput>./configure \
--prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--localstatedir=/var \
--without-rcdir \
--disable-static \
--disable-avahi \
--with-gs-path=/usr/bin/gs \
--with-pdftops-path=/usr/bin/gs \
--docdir=/usr/share/doc/cups-filters-&cups-filters-version; &amp;&amp;
make</userinput></screen>
<para>
To test the results, issue: <command>make check 2&gt;&amp;1 &gt;testlog</command>.
</para>

<title>Command Explanations</title>
<para>
<parameter>--disable-avahi</parameter>: This switch is needed
if the optional <xref linkend="avahi"/> is not installed. Remove
it if avahi is installed and you need network printer discovery
capabilities.
</para>
<para>
<parameter>--without-rcdir</parameter>: This switch disables
installation of the bundled bootscript which is not compatible
with BLFS.
</para>
<para>
<parameter>--with-gs-path=/usr/bin/gs</parameter>: This switch
defines the path to the <application>GhostScript</application>
binary in case <xref linkend="gs"/> is not installed at build time.
</para>
<para>
<parameter>--with-pdftops-path=/usr/bin/gs</parameter>: This switch
defines the path to the <application>GhostScript</application>
binary in case <xref linkend="gs"/> is not installed at build time.
</para>

<para>
<command>make check 2&gt;&amp;1 &gt;testlog</command>: the testsuite
dumps a stream of bytes into the input buffer after it finishes. Sending
the output to a file keeps the history usable, but some debug information
will still appear on the screen.
</para>
<para>
<option>--with-test-path=<replaceable>VALUE</replaceable></option> : if you wish to run the tests, but
you do not have the default
<filename>/usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf</filename> use this switch
to specify where <filename>DejaVuSans.ttf</filename> (or perhaps some other
text TTF font - untested) is located.
