Preparing the Build Environment on Fedora
This guide describes the procedure currently recommended for preparing a build environment for captdriver 0.1.x on Fedora, CentOS or most Red Hat-like GNU/Linux distributions built 2015 or later.
This guide has been verified to work on:
-
Fedora 32 Workstation Beta
-
Fedora 31 LXDE
-
CentOS Linux 8.1.1911
It is expected to work on most other Red Hat-like system
that use the Dandified YUM (dnf) package distribution
system, and follow the same package naming conventions as
Fedora.
The software needed to build captdriver is in the following packages or package groups:
-
@"Development Tools"(package group)-
gitis included in this package group. -
This package has an alternate name
@development-toolsin Fedora
-
-
automake -
autoconf -
cups-devel
As the superuser, install all of the above packages:
dnf install @"Development Tools" automake autoconf cups-devel
Once you have completed this stage, return to the unified guide, and pick the right Stage 2 guide to compile the driver.
