I just solved the problem.

I changed the line 224 line in bjfilter-2.50-r3.ebuild

Well - this bug "depends" on amd64 and >=cups-1.2 (which is still ~). Luckily only few should be affected.

I do my best to prevent such bugs - but I fail quite often... hmm. :roll:

I guess, mankind can be lucky that I decided to become a physicist instead of a professional hacker.

Anyway - I'm currently testing a fixed and slightly cleaned-up version. I'll release it soon.

If you experience errors like **Error**: You must have `automake' installed, then try this workaround:

1) downgrade automake-wrapper
emerge --oneshot =automake-wrapper-1-r1

2) emerge the driver
emerge bjfilter
or emerge cnijfilter

3) restore or unmerge automake-wrapper
emerge --oneshot automake-wrapper
or emerge --unmerge automake-wrapper

I'm not sure whether it's my system or the ebuild - but with newest automake-wrapper, automake --version fails, which causes this ebuild to fail.

First of all thanks colinK for your tutorial, works great for my Pixus i560 (with IP3100 driver).

I especially like the feature that I now can control printing-quality. I'm just wondering, if it is possible to modify the printer's ppd such that grayscale-printing will work. I know that bjfilterpixus has a commandline switch "--grayscale" which does exactly what I want. Does anyone know how to implement that in the ppd?

I found this cups-mailinglist-post but didn't get further than the original poster. I'm glad about any hint you can give.

Thanks, ct

Hi.

I get the following errors:

Disable the takushipatch useflag

I'm going to disable this useflag, as the patch doesn't seem to be maintained anymore. But if anyone actually needs this patch - I still have a copy of it.

Hi.

I don't have takushipatch enabled:

If you're trying to digest the ebuilds (in order to use them) then you need all the files marked in the SRC_URI statement; even if you're not going to use the files in question.

Open the bjfilter-2.50-r4.ebuild file up, and remove replace lines that read (around line 22)

Still the same:

then try the newest ebuild - I removed the patch whitch can't be downloaded.

i have installed cnijfilter-2.60-r1
just tried to compile cnijfilter-2.60-r4 and it won't build anymore.

This is a known problem of this ebuild on amd64 with gcc4.

You have three options now:

-> Try to fix it in the ebuild somehow
-> Stick with your old version (which you probably compiled with gcc3)
-> Or use the precompiled binary from the gentoo-wiki

I'm sorry..

For some strange reason I could'n download tha package via ftp so I changed it to http and worked fine.

Thanks. I will finaly be able to use my old i350.

@Rion:

Are you saying you once successfully compiled cnijfilter with gcc4 on amd64???

This would be news to me.

You may try the bjfilter.ebuild and test if it results in the same error - because I expected a slightly different linking-error.

I expected things like
../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: skipping incompatible ../../214/libs_bin/libcnbpcmcm214.so when searching for -lcnbpcmcm214
(which are canon-libraries)

instead of
../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: skipping incompatible ../../libcups.so when searching for -lcups
(which is not)

So, you might want to compare your results of bjfilter with cnijfilter. You may also try to merge an OLD version of cnijfilter and see if it works - but I suppose not, because I never did a major change of anything.

I'm no expert on compiling things. But this problem is somehow about linking with libraries. As this ebuild tries to compile in 32bit-mode - it needs to link with 32bit libraries. But as everything compiles with gcc3, it's strange that it doesn't with gcc4.

The question is, why gcc4 regards certain libraries to be incompatible with something.

I think it's advisable to ask some gcc4 or amd64 people, whether anyone has any idea. But I somehow think that this is not so easy to resolve.

bjfilter won't compile with the same error as cnijfilter

what's your linguas variable in make.conf?

try:
USE="linguas_en ip1500" emerge bjfilter

if this works, edit /etc/portage/package.use appropriately.

Did you do any localisation?

What's your LINGUAS flag like?
