Canon lbp2900 x64, cndrvcups-capt-2.40 compilation failure

[deff182]

I'm following the official tutorial on installing Canon LBP2900 drivers. Since there're no ready-made packages for x64 platform I have to compile...

cndrvcups-common-2.40 has been compiled and installed - at least I haven't seen any errors. The second one, cndrvcups-capt-2.40, doesn't contain Makefile in it but README also says that ./allgen.sh option available which leads me to:

checking for ANSI C header files... (cached) yes
./configure: line 13072: syntax error near unexpected token `1.2.0,'
./configure: line 13072: `AM_PATH_GTK(1.2.0, ,'
/home/midnight/Downloads/Linux_CAPT_PrinterDriver_V240_uk_EN/Src/cndrvcups-capt-2.40
for dir in driver backend pstocapt pstocapt2 pstocapt3 statusui ppd cngplp; do\
		echo Making modules $dir ...;\
		(cd $dir; make) || exit 1;\
	done

with later:

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/midnight/Downloads/Linux_CAPT_PrinterDriver_V240_uk_EN/Src/cndrvcups-capt-2.40/statusui'
make[1]: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/midnight/Downloads/Linux_CAPT_PrinterDriver_V240_uk_EN/Src/cndrvcups-capt-2.40/statusui'

The thing is statusui couldn't be compiled because of

./configure: line 13072: syntax error near unexpected token `1.2.0,'
./configure: line 13072: `AM_PATH_GTK(1.2.0, ,'

Does Anyone know how to fix it ?

P.S. AM_PATH_GTK(1.2.0 imho is related to gtk1.2 however I have gtk2.0 + dev isntalled.

UPD

if it's really libgtk1.2 then how to justify this ? GIMP ?


UPD2

Nevermind what I've written in above. Eventually I got alien and converted x64 rpms, though it's sad that I still had to do it. I still have problems which I'll post in another thread.
