Cross compiling CUPS

Hi,

I am trying to Cross-compile CUPS ver-1.4.5 for ARM. I am new to embedded Linux. I want to use CUPS for USB printer.

I somehow succeeded in cross-compiling CUPS after changing few lines in Makedefs and Makefile.

I used following commands to configure,
$ export PATH=/usr/toolchain/bin/:$PATH
$./configure --host=arm-linux --prefix=$PWD/build --enable-usblib

Can someone please share the step to follow to cross-compile CUPS?
As I only wants to print the text and no images, and my requirement is to use USB printing only.

Can you specify configure command, so that very minimum libraries will be build, to support text printing, for USB printer?

Thank you.
