Created attachment 916518 [details, diff]
patch for fixing the compile error on amd64

[Comment 2 [e-mail] 2025-01-14 14:55:47 UTC]

Created attachment 916519 [details]
modified ebuild to run patch

this modified ebuild runs the patch which needs to be put in the files/ directory, best is to run with a local overlay but you can also hack in your portage repo

I put the patch in:
/etc/portage/patches/net-print/cnrdrvcups-lb/
Fixed the compilation for me.

And afterwards I had to fix two symlinks:
ln -snf /usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftocpca /usr/libexec/cups/filter/pdftocpca
ln -snf /usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertoufr2 /usr/libexec/cups/filter/rastertoufr2
