Arch Linux User Repository

Building packages from AUR requires base-devel, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository

base-devel depends among others on autoconf, automake and make.

Looking at the directory, it looks like ../lib/.libs/libescpr.so and ../lib/.libs/libescpr.so.1 exist and are symbolic links to libescpr.so.1.0.0 but that file doesn't exist anywhere in the directory.

The package fails to compile:

Hello everybody! I'm not sure if this is the right place to write this but version 1.7.21 of package is out. I tried to modify your PKGBUILD to compile the new version and apparently succeeded. The PKGBUILD that works for me is:

pkgname=epson-inkjet-printer-escpr
pkgver=1.7.21
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc='Epson Inkjet Printer Driver (ESC/P-R) for Linux'
arch=('x86_64' 'aarch64')
url='http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/?OSC=LX'
license=('GPL2')
depends=('cups' 'ghostscript')
source=('https://download3.ebz.epson.net/dsc/f/03/00/13/77/93/e85dc2dc266e96fdc242bd95758bd88d1a51963e/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr-1.7.21-1lsb3.2.tar.gz')
sha512sums=('de3212d1dfcf9dfcffd6af920a9eb40266563820b7ef9ce2b9a6ccea51f5199871731db5617af7fd2bc6b5942b399d4228350f19f89d90443774155b47d122ac')


prepare() {
    cd $pkgname-$pkgver

}

build() {
    cd $pkgname-$pkgver
    mv bootstrap bootstrap.wrong
    sed 's/automake/automake --add-missing/' bootstrap.wrong > bootstrap
    sh bootstrap

  ./configure \
    --prefix=/usr \
    --with-cupsfilterdir=/usr/lib/cups/filter \
    --with-cupsppddir=/usr/share/ppd

  make
}

package() {
  cd $pkgname-$pkgver

  make DESTDIR="$pkgdir" install
}

Sorry, I didn't use the sudo privilege, so I used

sudo make install

and it's ok

After executing : ./configure && make && make install,

I got the following error :

/usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file '/usr/local/lib/libescpr.so.1.0.0': Permission denied
make[2]: *** [Makefile:422: install-libLTLIBRARIES] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/menouer/Downloads/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr-1.7.20/lib'
make[1]: *** [Makefile:715: install-am] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/menouer/Downloads/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr-1.7.20/lib'
make: *** [Makefile:445: install-recursive] Error 1

and I didn't find the driver 1.7.20-1 installed. Thanks for help.

Add dependencies:

sudo pacman -S ipp-usb sane sane-airscan

https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/ipp-usb/

https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/sane/

sudo systemctl enable --now ipp-usb.service

And my EPSON L3250 printer works

@electricprism, I think the et-8500 support is included in the other package epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2, look at the Epson website.

Does this include the ET-8500 driver?
