The CUPS Filters package is only needed to adapt libcupsfilters-2.0.0 and libppd-2.0.0 filter functions for cups-2.x. It should not be needed for cups-3.x.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS 12.1 platform.

Install CUPS Filters by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr \ --disable-static \ --disable-avahi \ --docdir=/usr/share/doc/cups-filters-2.0.0 && make
This package does not come with a functional test suite.
Now, as the root
user:
make install
--disable-static
: This
switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
--disable-avahi
: This
switch should be given even Avahi
is installed. This is needed due to a flaw in the configure script
of CUPS Filters, where it will
bail out if Avahi is not
installed. Note though that Avahi is not used by this package.
