Bug 7083 – Circular dependency in CUPS 1.1.5 & up with ESP GS7.05 & up

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 4522
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Bob Paddock 2002-08-26 17:00:14 UTC]

Changing the build order to do Ghostscript THEN cups solves the problem that  non-postscript raster printers are having with CUPS1.1.15 and will have with  later version of CUPS. With 1.1.14 and before the order needed to be GS then CUPS.   This is part of a thread from the HPOJ & CUPS lists.:     Bob Paddock wrote:   >    > Which one should be build first?
