Thanks Sebastian for your help.Now I am trying to compile the filter rastertorunfa.c,but
[sunner at vtevtdj filter]$ gcc -lm -o rastertorunfa 'cups-config --cflags' rastertorunfa.c 'cups-config --image --libs'
gcc: cups-config --cflags: No such file or directory
gcc: cups-config --image --libs: No such file or directory
