Description:	This also affects the Mac build (though I guess they're ok since they haven't complained). Maybe add bug categories for printing and/or general config/build. Here's what needs fixing (q&d, maybe there's a nicer way): --- configure.ac.orig Mon Dec 1 00:20:58 2025 +++ configure.ac Mon Dec 1 00:21:23 2025 @@ -445,7 +445,7 @@ found_cups=no else found_cups=yes - CUPS_CFLAGS="-DHAVE_CUPS" + CUPS_CFLAGS="-DHAVE_CUPS `cups-config --cflags`" CUPS_LIBS=`cups-config --libs` fi AC_MSG_RESULT([$found_cups])
User Comments:	jan.nijtmans added on 2026-09-27 20:11:42: Fixed [bd2f2ed1551a3c59\|here]. Also backported to core-9-0-branch. Thanks for the report and the fix. And thanks for reminding! serhiy.storchaka added on 2026-09-27 15:17:57: Reproduced on OpenBSD 7.9 with the cups-libs package: "checking for cups/cups.h... no", and Tk is silently built without CUPS support. With `cups-config --cflags` added to `CUPS_CFLAGS`, cups.h is found and Tk links with libcups. Proposed fix in branch configure-cups-cflags. The OpenBSD port applies the same patch.
