I guess you meant src/cups/Makefile.in, right?

Yes, indeed.

Preferably not autogen.sh. But you can add HOST_GUTENPRINT_AUTORECONF =
YES in gutenprint.mk to achieve the same goal. We're already doing an
autoreconf for the target build, so doing it on the host build
shouldn't be a problem.

Can you test this and see if it fixes the problem? If so submitting a
patch would be nice.

No, try with HOST_GUTENPRINT_AUTORECONF = YES. We don't want to carry
patches against configure/Makefile.in, as those patches are
generally really huge.

Also, if you're working on gutenprint, it would be nice if the
gutenprint-000-use-pregen-xmli18n-header.patch patch was rewritten to
use a new option in configure.ac, so that this patch could potentially
be upstreamed.

Best regards,

Thomas
