I have tried adding this into a cups.modules file under ~/Source/jhbuild/modulesets and then running
'jhbuild build cups' but that's not quite it.  Do you have a pointer on how to write a modules file?  How does jhbuild know the items it can build?

Is Behdad on this mailing list and maybe know more?  From the few lines of code I would have assumed that HAVE_CORE_TEXT should be defined.

I tried that and that fails with this error message:

Are we sure that Tiger is still supported or should I give up and use Leopard as the minimum supported OS?
