Failed to compile cups (on Debian using dpkg-buildpackage)
I downloaded the cups source from apt-get source cups
and I am trying to compile it with dpkg-buildpackage
. Compilation failed with an error:

I do not know what happened. I have all installed dependencies installed.
I am using Debian Wheezy
Can anyone please help?

apt-get build-dep cups
should be running to get all build dependencies for cups. I know you are saying that you installed all the dependencies, but since you didn’t say how you did it, I am providing this command as the mechanism I would use to do this.
Many things come to mind. Some packages don't build well when run as a user root
(you won't find an official source that talks about this, but I've made this observation over the years of building packages on Debian). I usually build software as a regular user, but using fakeroot
. Since I prefer to use fakeroot
to build packages, I make sure fakeroot is installed via apt-get install fakeroot
. Whereas a non-root user I would do apt-get source cups
and then typical dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc -rfakeroot
to create binaries on a Debian system. I managed to create Cups 1.5.3 on my Debian Wheezy system here without any problem as a non-root user.
I was able to try this build as root
and interestingly enough I cups
got stuck during tests when trying to run the scheduler. This issue did not exist as a non-root user. Although what happened on my system did not cause the same resulting error as my tests never ran out at all!
I would recommend trying building with fakeroot
as a non-root user if you haven't already.
Specifically for your debug output, I find this curious:
[cups-deviced] PID 8234 (usb) crashed on signal 11!
I am wondering if during the tests, the problem with the USB printer device is causing your error. Do you have a USB printer connected directly to your system? If so, try disabling it and building. I am wondering if a problem in the cup-device subsystem specific to a specific USB printer occurs as a result of a crash cups
.
I was lucky enough to find this bug report of a similar problem with the cup device and signal 11 (on an older Ubuntu based system - Debian) .This is an older bug that seems to have been fixed, but I'm wondering if there are other problems. which are still a problem. The error had the following:
But for one reason or another, Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04 no longer recognize the existence of USB printers. It doesn't recognize my HP Laserjet 4 and probably doesn't recognize other USB printers either.
It then provides this in an error log, which is similar to the errors you see during your tests when creating cups:
