I'm trying to compile Canon's Linux driver for my Canon MG5550 printer, and the instructions tell me to run "rpmbuild".
Isn't it as simply as....
[egreshko@f24b ~]$ dnf whatprovides *bin/rpmbuild Last metadata expiration check: 0:00:33 ago on Sat Jun 4 21:50:19 2016. rpm-build-4.13.0-0.rc1.27.fc24.x86_64 : Scripts and executable programs used to : build packages
Followed by the install of "rpm-build"?
Thank you, Ed. You are (as usual) quite right. I think all that was required to get the program rpmbuild was to dnf-install rpm-build.
Sadly, even with this in place, I cannot compile Canon's official driver, which is enormous. The 2000-line process log ends with **Error**: You must have `glib' installed. You can get it from: ftp//ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk In fact glib (and glib-devel) are installed - I assume glib is not in the expected place.
I shall continue to look for a way to compile the Canon program. Meanwhile I have to re-boot into Windows to use this printer.
