When I finished this code, I use gcc compiled sane-backends/frontend/test.c and khf.c into one executable file.Then I run it , and it works~ my code can control the scanner. After that , I compile khf.c into one shared object named libsane-khf.so.1 and do this by using this command: gcc -shared -fpic khf.c -o libsane-khf.so.1

did you also make a symlink:

ln -sf libsane-khf.so.1 libsane-khf.so

# out all lines from dll.conf except yours, and then try:

`strace scanimage -L` and see if your backend gets opened

what scanners does this backend support, fujitsu i assume?
