Subject: Create package to add new files
Date: Mon, 27 Jun 2022 22:22:59 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <03f9e00e-3eb8-d6f3-ea71-7ff49a2126c3@disroot.org> (raw)
I tried using the procedures text-file* and plain-file but I can't manage to make it works.
Im trying to define a package that will be used to add files to cups, in the same ways taht the package brlaser add files. But no luck, every time I try to create a `plain-file` the build fails.
Help appreciated
(define-public
add-my-filters-and-ppd
(package/inherit
brlaser
(name "add-my-filters-and-ppd")
(arguments
`(#:phases
(modify-phases
%standard-phases
;; (delete 'configure) ;no 'configure' script
(replace
'install
(lambda* (#:key outputs #:allow-other-keys)
;; The package's Makefile doesn't provide an "install"
;; rule so do it by ourselves.
(let ((filter-dir
(string-append (assoc-ref outputs "out")
"/lib/cups/filter"))
(ppd-dir
(string-append (assoc-ref outputs "out")
"/share/ppd/cupsfilters")))
;; (install-file
;; (plain-file "brother_lpdwrapper_printer-model"
;; "ldwrapper string/content of file"))
;; (install-file
;; (plain-file "brother-printer-model-cups-en.ppd"
;; ".ppd string/content of file")
;; ppd-dir)
)
#t)))))))
