I purchased a Dell 8700, wiped the drive and installed CentOS 6.4 on it.
I have a Canon MP 4900 printer that I committed to hook up to the new
computer.
The 32 bit drivers do not work on the new 63 bit system.
I found a copy of the Canon source code on a Canon web site in Thailand,
of all pla
It is weird that it is asking for your password...
If you hand me a copy the code I'll give it a shot. and I'll write you a
cookbook to build it (a shell script) if I get it to compile.
By the meantime, try:
(at the top directory of the code)
./configure && make && echo GOOD

Thank you for your reply.
This is the link that I sourced the files from.

Is that acceptable?
I will try the procedure you proposed later this evening after my wife
is done using the machine.

Hello Harold:
Only one file has been changed on the system since I loaded it
How can you validate that? :)
I've been building software for 30 years, 15 of them in *NIX environment.
There is not a single good (security) reason why a 'make' would ask a
password...
That makes me wonder...

Hey Harold, I am not done compiling your printer driver, but doesn't seem
that difficult anymore. It boils down to a simple but forgotten concept:
RTFM!!! ;-)
Pls read and try:
./cnijfilter/INSTALL
You may need to install some other packages, but for the most part, the
instructions work.
Thanks ET,
Thanks for the words about INSTALL. I saw it and thought it was a new
script format I had missed.
I followed the INSTALL this afternoon with partial success.
It fussed about the dot h files, but gcc does that.
Still it ran part way but complained about a whole list of libraries it
What I see seems 'good'...
There are 'production' and 'development' (dev) libraries for most packages.
You probably need to install whatever 'popt-dev' is availble to your system.
What are you compiling in?
Also, compile with something like:
./configure && echo GOOD
make && echo GOOD

ET,
Sorry for the delay in replying, I have been unwell for a few days.
I have applied your recommendations and I am now down to the point of
its complaining about various function members not being found.
It is a different set, but more that will have to be worked through. I
have encountered
LFS *WILL* teach you! :)
Feel free to 'untar' a fresh copy of the source, wrap all the build
instructions in a script, and do:
bash -x ./my-build-script 2>&1|tee /tmp/build.log
Send me /tmp/build.log and I'll take a look at the problems.
Best!
ET
