Questions

I'm not a C dev and I have no experience with autoconf. I simply copied pkgs/misc/cups/drivers/cnijfilter_4_00/default.nix, downloaded the source from the Canon website (http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/3/0100004693/01/cnijfilter-source-3.80-1.tar.gz) and tried to fiddle around to get as far as I could.

• Did I do most things right so far?
• How can I improve my code?
• Right now, it doesn't build. the build error is:

gcc  -O2 -L../../../com/libs_bin64 -L../../../lgmon/src  -o cnijnpr cnijnpr.o -lcnnet -lbscc2sts -ldl 
/nix/store/sq2b0dqlq243mqn4ql5h36xmpplyy20k-binutils-2.31.1/bin/ld: cannot find -lbscc2sts
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [Makefile:337: cnijnpr] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/build/source/cngpijmon/cnijnpr/cnijnpr'
make[1]: *** [Makefile:353: all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/build/source/cngpijmon/cnijnpr'
make: *** [Makefile:294: all] Error 2

What can I do here? It seems the file bscc2sts.c is in the lgmon/src directory, but still the linker doesn't find it.

• @chpatrick @jerith666 you added similar wrappers before, can you give some guidance?
