Re: CUPS 2.4.20 is released!

[Matthias Apitz <guru@unixarea.de>]

Hello,

I fetched 2.4.20 to my server (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP7)
configured it with:

gmake clean

export SISISPAP_INSTALL=/usr/local/sisis-pap
export CFLAGS="-m64"
export CXXFLAGS="-m64"
export LDFLAGS="-L$SISISPAP_INSTALL/lib -m64"
export DSOFLAGS="-m64 -L$SISISPAP_INSTALL/lib"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/sisis-pap/lib/pkgconfig
#
# because of /usr/bin/pkg-config
#
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64:$SISISPAP_INSTALL/lib

./configure --prefix=$SISISPAP_INSTALL/cups2 --libdir=$SISISPAP_INSTALL/cups2/lib \
    --with-cups-user=lp         \
    --with-cups-group=lp        \
    --with-tls=openssl          \
    --with-system-groups=root

The compilation stops in cups/dest.c with:

gmake
...
dest.c: In function ‘cups_enum_dests’:
dest.c:3577:9: error: ‘_cups_getdata_t {aka struct _cups_getdata_s}’ has no member named ‘num_local’
     data.num_local   = 0;
         ^
dest.c:3578:10: error: ‘_cups_getdata_t {aka struct _cups_getdata_s}’ has no member named ‘local_dests’; did you mean ‘num_dests’?
     data.local_dests = NULL;
          ^~~~~~~~~~~
          num_dests

and if I look into cups/dest.c the struct _cups_getdata_t looks indeed
as something else (lines 124...130 of cups/dest.c):

 124 typedef struct _cups_getdata_s
 125 {
 126   int           num_dests;              /* Number of destinations */
 127   cups_dest_t   *dests;                 /* Destinations */
 128   char          def_name[1024],         /* Default printer name, if any */
 129                 *def_instance;          /* Default printer instance, if any      */
 130 } _cups_getdata_t;

What does this mean? Thanks

Btw: I compared cups/dest.c of version 2.4.14 (our current version) and
2.4.20. The reference of the missing struct members is new in 2.4.20:

diff cups-2.4.14/cups/dest.c cups-2.4.20/cups/dest.c
