We are no longer providing binaries for Mac OS X since newer releases of CUPS are not generally compatible with prior releases of Mac OS X.
The source distributions include an RPM spec file that can be used to build RPM packages for your Linux distribution. The rpmbuild command is used to build from the tar files:
rpmbuild -ta cups-version-source.tar.gz
or:
rpmbuild -ta cups-version-source.tar.bz2
At a minimum, you'll need the gcc, libjpeg, libjpeg-devel, libpng, libpng-devel, libtiff, libtiff-devel, pam-devel, zlib, and zlib-devel packages installed to compile CUPS with all of the standard functionality. The krb5-devel, krb5-libs, openldap, openldap, openslp, openslp-devel, avahi, and avahi-devel packages will allow support for Kerberos (CUPS 1.3.x and later only), LDAP, SLP, and DNS-SD respectively.
The spec file supports two options, --without php and --without dbus, that control whether the PHP and DBUS support is compiled into the packages. For example, if you are compiling CUPS 1.2.4 or earlier on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, you will need to provide the --without dbus option since that distribution does not have a compatible version of the DBUS libraries available:
rpmbuild -ta cups-version-source.tar.gz --without dbus
Similarly, if you don't have the php-devel package installed, use the --without php option to omit the PHP support from the generated RPMs.
The CUPS software is available via Subversion using the following URL:
http://svn.easysw.com/public/cups/
The following command can be used to checkout the current CUPS 1.5.x source from Subversion:
svn co http://svn.easysw.com/public/cups/branches/branch-1.5/ cups-1.5.x
The following command can be used to checkout the current CUPS 1.6.x source from Subversion:
svn co http://svn.easysw.com/public/cups/trunk/ cups
After you check out the source, you will need to run the autoconf command to create the configure script. You can then follow the instructions in the INSTALL.txt file.
The CUPS Driver for Windows downloads currently only includes 32-bit Windows drivers and must be combined with the Microsoft PostScript driver as described on the cupsaddsmb(8) man page. 64-bit Windows drivers are now available in the Subversion repository and will eventually become part of an updated CUPS Driver for Windows download.
Foomatic-based drivers do not work with Windows clients.
The CUPS Driver Development Kit (DDK) is bundled with CUPS 1.4 and higher. For CUPS 1.2.x and 1.3.x, download and install the DDK separately.
The DDK will not compile or install on systems with CUPS 1.0.x or 1.1.x. Do not compile or install the DDK on CUPS 1.4 or later.
