[Buildroot] Q: Problem building libgtk2 - libcups?

I am having a problem building libcups as part of libgtk2 for the ARM9.
I get the following:
Linking pdftops...
/usr/bin/ld: libxpdf.a(gmem.o): Relocations in generic ELF (EM: 40)
/usr/bin/ld: libxpdf.a(gmem.o): Relocations in generic ELF (EM: 40)
/usr/bin/ld: libxpdf.a(gmem.o): Relocations in generic ELF (EM: 40)
/usr/bin/ld: libxpdf.a(gmem.o): Relocations in generic ELF (EM: 40)
/usr/bin/ld: libxpdf.a(gmem.o): Relocations in generic ELF (EM: 40)
/usr/bin/ld: libxpdf.a(gmem.o): Relocations in generic ELF (EM: 40)
libxpdf.a: could not read symbols: File in wrong format
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [pdftops] Error 1

It looks to me like the correct toolchain is being used - everything
says "arm-..." (i.e. gcc, ar, etc.) What else should I check?

Is the cups library really needed for libgtk2? I haven't seen any
reference to it as a requirement in anything I've read about GTK+. I
don't need printing support. Can I disable building this library?


Thanks,
mf

[Daniel Laird]

I removed cups from the dependencies list and added it the X dependencies. 
So that people who build X get cups else none.

I agree that cups is a bit over the top for a gtk->directfb system where one
can presume size is important.  For me building for a STB cups is not
useful.

You will also need to change Config.in to make sure CUPS is not enabled by
default.
