CUPS Cross Compiling for MINI2440

I am trying to cross compile the cups for mini2440

This is my configuration 

./configure --host=arm-linux --prefix=/opt/FriendlyARM/mini2440/root_qtopia
--disable-gnutls --disable-gssapi --disable-dbus

cups version cups-1.5rc1

but i am getting following errorLinking libcups.so.2...
/usr/local/arm/4.3.2/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/4.3.2/../../../../arm

can anyone tell me how to solve this issue

Google is your friend

I Solved the problem by googling

but now i am getting Segmentation Fault
when i use lp,lpr,lpq or and cups commands

Segmentation Fault Also Sovled

Now i am able to run cups on mini2440.
but when say lp , it says schedular error .

I tried 
lp -d /dev/lp0 filename
gives
connection refused

Please help

eh, I've tried cups on mini2440 and i gave up.
- cups is too big with php, apache web-server so it run very slow.
- scheduler error (the same with Stalin)

If your target does not support too much printer or printing protocol so
you can write your self printing system like this:
 ____________     ______     __________     _______
|font control| + |filter| + |scheduler | + | back-end |
                            |(optional)|
font control: load and draw font.
filter: convert print document to the bitmap and send to the back-end
scheduler: like the spooler in window.
back-end: work with printer( send command, config paper, handing error)

I've just implemented simple printing system( no spooler) and it take about
1 to 1,5 second per ticket with QL570 label printer.

Hope this help,

Hello,
I suggest you to use buildroot, it may cost you half
 a day to learn it, but it is really easy to port cups to arm.

stalin,

but, how to solved the segment fault?

Hello stalin,
I have same problem how to solve it?

This error message could mean your ARM cross linker tries to link in a
library for your host (x86).

BTW: CUPS does its work on the Mini2440. But with 64 MiB of SDRAM it can
print only small pages or pages with low resolution. At least if you need
Ghostscript as part of the filter chain.

hello Juergen Beisert,

only try to check how to cross compile the cups in cross compiler 4.3.3v
