How to install cross compiled cups to target board? - linux

Question

I Cross compiled cups 1.7.0 for sitara arm linux 6
I followed
./configure --host=arm-linux-gnueabihf --disable-gssapi --prefix=/media/rootfs
make
make install
All cups related files are automatically saved in sd card ,
but it shows error on typing cupsd command and not starting cups server
cupsd: Child exited on signal 1.
On checking /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, several paths in the configuration files are
/media/rootfs/var/run/cups/cups.sock
instead of
/var/run/cups/cups.sock
1)how to install this compiled cups to target board without --prefix?
2)Is there any step missing for cross compilation?
Any help will be thankfull.

Answer 1

DSTROOT=/media/rootfs option in make install is the solution for cups.
./configure --host=arm-linux-gnueabihf --disable-gssapi --libdir=/usr/lib
make
sudo make install DSTROOT=/media/rootfs
Dont use --prefix.

Answer 2

cupsd: Child exited on signal 1.
This error is due to hardcoding of paths.You can avoid it by placing your installed executables in same directory by creating it in your rootfs.
There are two way to avoid above 1) while configuring the source-code give the prefixsome other folder like $HOME/cups so that this will be a standalone. create directory by the same name $HOME/cups same as you prefix in your rootfs copy this standalone executable as u mentioned in prefix.
e.g --prefix=/home/vinay/cups then make same directory path in your rootfs /home/vinay/cups and copy all your executables here.
For second way i am not sure it will work or not since for qt project i tried and its worked.By Use of sysroot
2)provide option --sysroot=/media/rootfs --prefix=/media/rootfs so that while executing ypur executables executable look correctly search the path with help of sysroot.
