Dejavu fonts (the build fails if they are not installed, although they are only required for the tests), libexif-0.6.24, libjpeg-turbo-3.0.1, libpng-1.6.43, and libtiff-4.6.0

## Installation of libcupsfilters

Install libcupsfilters by running the following commands:

    ./configure --prefix=/usr                   \
                --disable-static                \
                --docdir=/usr/share/doc/libcupsfilters-2.0.0 &&
    make

To test the results, issue make check. DejaVu fonts are needed for the tests.

Now, as the `root` user:

    make install

## Command Explanations

`--disable-static`: This switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.

`--with-test-font-path=`VALUE``: If you wish to run the tests, but you do not have the default `/usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf` font installed, use this switch to specify where `DejaVuSans.ttf` (or perhaps some other text TTF font - though this is untested) is located.
