== Introduction to {{PAGENAME}} ==

The GPM (general purpose mouse) daemon is a mouse server for applications running on the Linux console.

'''Project Homepage:''' Currently there is no homepage for gpm available. The latest releases can always be found in one of the following places:
ftp://arcana.linux.it/pub/gpm
ftp://ftp.linux.it/pub/People/rubini/gpm/
http:// or ftp://ftp.schottelius.org/pub/linux/gpm

== Dependencies ==

== Non-Multilib ==

Compile the package:

patch -Np1 -i ../gpm-{{GPM-Version}}-segfault-1.patch &&
patch -Np1 -i ../gpm-{{GPM-Version}}-silent-1.patch &&
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc &&
LDFLAGS="-lm" make

Install the package

make install &&
cp -v conf/gpm-root.conf /etc &&
ldconfig

=== Command Explanations ===

'''LDFLAGS="-lm"''': The math library must be linked with '''gpm''', as ceil() is used in some cursor scrolling logic.

== Multilib ==

=== 32Bit ===

Compile the package:

patch -Np1 -i ../gpm-{{GPM-Version}}-segfault-1.patch &&
patch -Np1 -i ../gpm-{{GPM-Version}}-silent-1.patch &&
CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc &&
LDFLAGS="-lm" make

Install the package

make install &&
ldconfig

=== N32 ===

Compile the package:

patch -Np1 -i ../gpm-{{GPM-Version}}-segfault-1.patch &&
patch -Np1 -i ../gpm-{{GPM-Version}}-silent-1.patch &&
CC="gcc ${BUILDN32}" ./configure --prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc --libdir=/usr/lib32 &&
LDFLAGS="-lm" make

Install the package

make install &&
ldconfig

=== 64Bit ===

Compile the package:

patch -Np1 -i ../gpm-{{GPM-Version}}-segfault-1.patch &&
patch -Np1 -i ../gpm-{{GPM-Version}}-silent-1.patch &&
CC="gcc ${BUILD64}" ./configure --prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc --libdir=/usr/lib64 &&
LDFLAGS="-lm" make

Install the package

make install &&
cp -v conf/gpm-root.conf /etc &&
ldconfig

== Configuring ==

=== BootScript ===

Install the /etc/rc.d/init.d/gpm init script included in the [[blfs-bootscripts]] package.

make install-gpm

=== Config FIles ===

/etc/gpm-root.conf and ~/.gpm-root: The default and individual user gpm-root configuration files.

/etc/sysconfig/mouse: This file contains the name of your mouse device and the protocol which it uses. To create this file, run the following as the root user:

cat > /etc/sysconfig/mouse << "EOF"
# Begin /etc/sysconfig/mouse

MDEVICE="<yourdevice>"
PROTOCOL="<yourprotocol>"
GPMOPTS="<additional options>"

# End /etc/sysconfig/mouse
EOF

=== Configuration Information ===

Examples of values to set MDEVICE, PROTOCOL, and GPMOPTS to are:

MDEVICE="/dev/psaux"
PROTOCOL="imps2"
GPMOPTS=""

A list of which protocol values are known can be found by running '''gpm -m [device] -t -help'''. The MDEVICE setting depends on which type of mouse you have. For example, /dev/ttyS0 for a serial mouse (on Windows this is COM1), /dev/input/mice is often used for USB mice and /dev/psaux for PS2 mice. GPMOPTS is the 'catch all' for any additional options that are needed for your hardware.

CUPS

{{Package-Introduction|The Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) is a print spooler and associated utilities. It is based on the "Internet Printing Protocol" and provides printing services to most PostScript and raster printers.}}

== Dependencies ==

=== Required ===
* [[libjpeg]]
* [[libpng]]
* [[LibTIFF]]
=== Optional ===
* [[OpenSSL]] or [[GnuTLS]]
* [[D-BUS]]
* [[Linux-PAM]]
* [[PHP]]
* [[Python]]
* [[JDK]]
* [[OpenSLP]]
* [[libpaper]]
* [[Valgrind]]

== Note to DESTDIR Fans ==

Unfortunately the CUPS package ignores DESTDIR. However, CUPS has the variable BUILDROOT which has the same function, so if you use that instead, it'll be the same as using DESTDIR normally is.

== Creating the lp User ==

useradd -c "Print Service User" -d /dev/null -g lp -s /bin/false -u 10 lp

== Non-Multilib ==

If you utilize Linux-PAM, you need to modify some files so CUPS can find needed headers. Make the appropriate modifications using the following command:

sed -i -e "s@pam/pam@security/pam@g" \
{config-scripts/cups-pam.m4,scheduler/auth.c,configure}

Compile the package:

./configure &&
make

Install the package

make install

CUPS' man pages are compressed. If you want to uncompress them, use the following commands:

gunzip -v /usr/share/man/man1/{cancel,cups{-config,test{dsc,ppd}},lp{,options,passwd,q,rm,r,stat}}.1.gz
gunzip -v /usr/share/man/man5/{{classes,client,cups-snmp,cupsd,printers,subscriptions,mailto}.conf,mime.{convs,types}}.5.gz
gunzip -v /usr/share/man/man7/{backend,filter}.7
gunzip -v /usr/share/man/man8/{accept,cups{d,addsmb,enable,-{deviced,driverd,lpd,polld,}},lp{admin,info,move,c}}.8.gz

rm -v /usr/share/man/man8/{reject,cupsdisable}.8.gz

ln -sv accept.8 /usr/share/man/man8/reject.8
ln -sv cupsenable.8 /usr/share/man/man8/cupsdisable.8

== Multilib ==

Compile the package:

CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" CXX="g++ ${BUILD32}" USE_ARCH=32 ./configure \

Install the package

make install &&
mv -v /usr/bin/cups-config{,-32}
