In order to use a network printer called Epson EM930c I decided to introduce gimp-print and update ghostscript to a epsgs version (epsgs-7.05.06). Ater a straightforward setting from PrintCenter my EM930c became usable via cups as an IP printer.
which can be "rpm -ivh"ed altogether at one time. The corresponding SRPMS are
which are based on those of Vine Linux with my private patches to build dynamic libs. VFlib patches have also been applied to ghostscript (espgs).
If you want to rebuild them for yourself, you need to install
As for the RPMs I have built for MacOS X Release 10.2.X, the following directories
might be useful:
where you can find spec files, my private patches, source RPMs, and binary RPMs, respectively. Note that the RPMS directory contains two subdirectories, "ppc" for architecture-dependent binariy packages, while "noarch" for those architecture-independent. For those packages without real source RPMs or those provided only as tar balls, you can find the corresponding original source packages and my private patches in src. The binary tar balls are in tgz.
These packages have been tested on my machines (G3 Series PowerBook, aka Wallstreet and Ti PowerBook G4) but might not work on your platform. Install them thus at your own risk.
Notice also that new packages are under ~fujiik/macosx/10.2.X/, while the old ones built on Release 10.1.X, 10.0.X, and Public Beta are under ~fujiik/macosx/10.1.X/, ~fujiik/macosx/10.0.X/, and ~fujiik/macosx/, respectively, and will not be supported.
