Making libcups without avahi
by sadpepe from LinuxQuestions.org on (#51YYW)
I am trying to learn arch and thought it would be useful to figure out how to edit or compile packages.
It always bothered me that on a clean install with just about any graphical component you'd always get "Avahi Zeroconf Browser" as well as ssh and vnc server browsers.
So I thought it would be great to make libcups without these avahi components.
Unfortunately, I don't quite understand how to achieve this. I tried getting libcups-git from AUR and editing PKGBUILD file. Setting "--enable-avahi=no" flag didn't seem to get rid of the browser and other stuff.
Are there more flags that aren't in the file itself? Or I am supposed to edit something else?
