Well, from that section, I would be still not wise enough to know, that "CUPS
library" means libcupsys2-dev (developement package). I would assume that
libcupsys should be enough.

The description for other services is the same problem for me -Do I need
developement libraries of all of them to make them work?

It should be stated clearly, that it is DEVELOPEMENT libraries what we need. And
there should be still mention in Wine User's guide, that to enable the
particular services (CUPS, ALSA,...) one must look into the
documentation/PACKAGING, section DEVELOPEMENT, to find out, what libraries
should take place before compilation.

You know, those things can be totally clear for developers, but for the user
they aren't. I have compiled some applications from source before, but without
clear explanation in some visible place of README, I wouldn't know, what else I
do need to accomplish.
