Error while installing drivers for my printer

The driver for my printer is this: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cnijfilter-mp250/ so git cloned it and then cd and makepkg, but it seems that there's something bad in the source, precisely it seems to be a language deprecation issue:

Here is part of the makepkg compiling output:

I know that it is a very old printer but it still works, it's the only one that I have, and I don't want to dump it. any help?


Edit: it seems to be a solution as described on this comment: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 7#p1972667 (the same was posted on the aur page comments)

and now the compilation work ! 50% solved ! yeah ! Thank-you loqs ! (not tested yet on my mp250 scanner, it is not near me)

Now I have to fix the remaining 50%  smile

however I have no clue what the mentioned "prepare" file should be. Please isn't it time to fix this package from once and at all?

Edit solved! @loqs I love you! sorry for my effusivity.
the complete solution is as follows: to install cnijfilter-mp250 first clone the obsene package:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/cnijfilter-mp250.git
cd cnijfilter-mp250
git reset --hard
curl -o temp.patch http://ix.io/3mF7 #Download the patch from post #4 please check it before applying
git apply -v temp.patch
rm temp.patch
sed -i 's/test.patch/ipp.patch/g'  PKGBUILD
makepkg -si

and worked! Anyway you should patch this package at the aur as I said.

Do you mean this:

It should then compile.

@loqs I was just about to install the comercial package via debtap indeed I just installed pkgfile.
~~@loqs so what exactly i am supposed to do? should I clone the package, then make -si , then follow your steps and makepkg -si again?~~
@loqs solved! I love you!

Re: Error while installing drivers for my printer

In http://ix.io/3mF7 I forgot to rename test.patch to ipp.patch in the sources array on line 52 of the PKGBUILD.
With that change it should build.  As I do not have the printer that is as far as I can test it.
