Port notes
*************************************************************
If this is the first installation, there are a couple of items to do:
- First, symlinks in /usr are needed for CUPS to see cups-pdf, so run
(it will run sudo so may ask for your password):
${prefix}/libexec/cups-pdf_links.sh
- Edit ${prefix}/etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf as needed
- Finally, tell cupsd to update (it may not be running on 10.5+):
sudo killall -1 cupsd
*************************************************************
As of Mac OS X 10.6, cups can no longer write into user directories, so
the output directory for cups-pdf has been updated to reflect this.
cups-pdf will now write PDF files into ${prefix}/var/spool/cups-pdf/$USER .
You can create a symlink to this location from Desktop to have it behave as
before:
ln -s ${prefix}/var/spool/cups-pdf/$USER ~/Desktop/cups-pdf
If you are upgrading, your ${prefix}/etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf file will
not be touched, and will probably need the Out parameter updated; see the
${prefix}/etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf.dist file for an example.
