mhh, and samba use it while compiling process or simple to check if cups
is installed?

I know it makes no sense to build samba with cups support if we have no
cups rules. When samba use this to check if cups is installed, it's a
very bad way to check that. This displays a little bit the situation how
others project deal with cups.

You already show this post from cups bugtracker:

http://www.cups.org/str.php?L2390

I see that buildroot support cups, maybe we can start with that to make
a mainline solution for this. [0]


1.3.11 seems be a very old version, but we could start with that. To
support this version.
