Install package epson-inkjet-printer-201211w failed

Hi, I've installed and configured a fresh setup of Arch Linux with Cinnamon desktop.

I need to install epson-inkjet-printer-201211w driver for my Epson WorkForce WF-2010w (wireless version), so when I try to do a makepkg -si from the downloaded git repo (https://aur.archlinux.org/epson-inkjet- … 01211w.git) it returns the following error:

running CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/sh /bin/sh ./configure LDFLAGS=-Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed,-z,relro,-z,now -Wl,--no-as-needed --prefix=/opt/epson-inkjet-printer-201211w CFLAGS=-march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fno-plt CPPFLAGS=-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 --no-create --no-recursion
configure: error: cannot find required auxiliary files: compile
make: *** [Makefile:290: config.status] Error 1
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...

previously i get the following warning:

WARNING: `automake-1.11' is missing on your system.  You should only need it if
         you modified `Makefile.am', `acinclude.m4' or `configure.ac'.
         You might want to install the `Automake' and `Perl' packages.
         Grab them from any GNU archive site.

in my system is installed automake-1.16.2-3.

So I can't successufully compile and install this package.
How can I resolve this issue?
Please help, I would appreciate it very much, I am a arch linux newbie!
Thanks so much!

Re: Install package epson-inkjet-printer-201211w failed

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/217 … e#21773816 gave a clue that makes the build continue.

Add automake --add-missing to the PKGBUILD between libtoolize / chmod commands so it looks like this :

  libtoolize
  automake --add-missing
  chmod +x configure

Keep in mind this driver is very old (2012), the generated compile-file is very generic and the resulting package may not be functional.


Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

Re: Install package epson-inkjet-printer-201211w failed

You should add a call to automake-1.16 like this to the PKGBUILD:

  libtoolize
  automake-1.16 -a
  chmod +x configure

Edit: Sorry, forgot to reload. Maybe calling the 1.16 version explicitly would still be necessary.
