Just a kindly reminder (because I forgot) that to have the scanner working you probably should use avahi:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/SANE/Scanner-specific_problems#Scanning_over_the_network_with_Canon_PIXMA_or_imageCLASS_all-in-one_printer/scanners

There are other methods but this is the easiest one.

I too am having the same problem as Oldgeek as posted on 6.10.2024, in that cnijfilter2 will not complete the build and ends up with an abort before finishing. I have not found a way to load the driver for my Canon G7020 in Manjaro 24 KDE without the cnijfilter2, so your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I had to patch keytext.c and include stdlib.h in the lgmon3 build in order to compile:

PKGBUILD

    pushd lgmon3
    ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr \
             --enable-libpath=/usr/lib/bjlib2 \
             --enable-progpath=/usr/bin \
             --datadir=/usr/share \
             LDFLAGS="-L../../com/libs_bin_$CARCH"
    patch src/keytext.c ../../../keytext.c.path
    make #CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -fcommon"
    popd

keytext.c.path

I've been trying to install this on a fresh install of Manjaro using Pamac 10.6. Here is the last part of the output that I get what I get every time:

make[2]: Leaving directory '/var/tmp/pamac-build-greg/cnijfilter2/src/cnijfilter2-source-6.60-1/lgmon3/src' make[1]: *** [Makefile:416: all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/var/tmp/pamac-build-greg/cnijfilter2/src/cnijfilter2-source-6.60-1/lgmon3' make: *** [Makefile:348: all] Error 2 ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build(). Aborting...

I was thinking of maybe forcing make to ignore all errors, but don't know if the printer would work. I've also tried using yay to try to install but that didn't work either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Found this error: error: implicit declaration of function ‘malloc’

had to download the repository and modify a file to over come it

@ruffy I could add it but not sure if 'libusb' is required because some modern printers don't even have USB. The package installs with a clean chroot so it's not a compilation requirement. The easy way to test is pkgctl build --repo extra. More information here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot

@tobias-hd glad you fixed it, but install base-devel as detailed here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository

Hi, I get an error message during installation on Manjaro:

config.status: error: Something went wrong bootstrapping makefile fragments
    for automatic dependency tracking.  If GNU make was not used, consider
    re-running the configure script with MAKE="gmake" (or whatever is
    necessary).  You can also try re-running configure with the
    '--disable-dependency-tracking' option to at least be able to build
    the package (albeit without support for automatic dependency tracking).
See `config.log' for more details

Unfortunately I could not find the "config.log" file yet. Any idea how I could fix this?

Update: Found the "config.log" - "make" was missing on my system, and seems not to be in the dependencies. After manual installation of "make", build & installation of cnijfilter2 was successful, and printing works.

It's working great. Thanks

please add 'libusb' to the makedepends.
