Bug 402727 – net-print/hplip-3.11.10 should depend on libusb unconditionally

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Francisco J. Vazquez 2012-02-08 16:20:36 UTC]

I see libusb is only a dependency if !minimal. However, hplip fails to compile with USE=minimal if libusb is not present. It compiles ok if I install libusb:0 beforehand. It should be an unconditional dependency.



Reproducible: Always

emerge --unmerge dev-libs/libusb
USE="minimal" emerge -av =hplip-3.11.10

Works fine here. Please attach the full build log of your failing install.

[Comment 3 Daniel Pielmeier 2012-02-09 11:01:32 UTC]

I think I found the problem. I guess hplip builds fine if you enable the hpijs use flag.

[Comment 4 Francisco J. Vazquez 2012-02-09 11:25:30 UTC]

Yep, with hpijs enabled I don't need libusb to emerge hplip, it compiles fine.

Thanks for your feedback. I am thinking about removing the minimal use flag. It has never done what it should. There is also no such configure option, just some others I used for the minimal build. These configure options are intransparent and probably wrong. So I think it is better to drop the flag completely.

[Comment 6 Francisco J. Vazquez 2012-02-10 10:57:10 UTC]

I hope you add a new USE for pygobject, then. I used "minimal" because I just need the hpcups/hpijs driver and the ppds (it's a minimal server). It works great that way.

Maybe I keep the minimal flag. Which use flags do you enable/disable for hplip to build only drivers and ppds?

[Comment 8 Francisco J. Vazquez 2012-02-10 17:36:33 UTC]

Right now I have it emerged with:

[ebuild   R    ] net-print/hplip-3.11.10  USE="X acl hpcups minimal snmp -doc -fax -hpijs -kde -libnotify -parport -policykit -qt4 -scanner -static-ppds"

(the X use flag is ignored, since scanner is not set). Since I don't need hpijs I decided to emerge libusb:0 by hand, emerge hplip and then unmerge libusb.

Maybe minimal is a bit redundant, since you can disable most other things anyway (scanner, fax, qt4, etc). The only thing that can be disabled only by setting USE=minimal is pygobject, which pulls several other packages.

+*hplip-3.12.2-r1 (16 Feb 2012)
+
+  16 Feb 2012; Daniel Pielmeier <[e-mail]> +hplip-3.12.2-r1.ebuild,
+  +files/hplip-3.12.2-minimal.patch:
+  Add a patch to fix minimal build with hpijs disabled and hpcups enabled. This
+  should fix bug #402727. Thanks to Francisco Vazquez for the report. Correct
+  other USE="minmal" related issues.

I have added a patch to hplip-3.12.2-r1 which should enable a minimal build with hpijs disabled and hpcups enabled. The patch fixes the configure script to behave the same for a hpijs driver only build and a hpcups driver only build. I think if only the driver is built it should make no difference if it is hpijs or hpcups.

[Comment 10 Daniel Pielmeier 2012-02-16 19:36:04 UTC]

Please test if everything works correct now.

[Comment 11 Francisco J. Vazquez 2012-02-17 12:26:21 UTC]

Yep, everything works well and there's no need to have libusb:0 installed to emerge anymore.

Thanks!
