[sane-devel] Can't build SANE on Ubuntu Feisty 7.04

[Simon Glass]

Hi,

I am keen to test out my new Fujitsu FI-5750C but it doesn't seem to
work out of the box. While trying to build SANE from CVS I initially got
an error about md5 which I got around by adding a library explicitly to
the Makefile.

making all in frontend
make[1]: Entering directory
`/pub/software/drivers/sane/sane-backends/frontend'
make[1]: Warning: File `Makefile' has modification time 0.83 s in the future
gcc -o .libs/scanimage scanimage.o stiff.o  ../lib/liblib.a

scanimage.o: In function `auth_callback':
/pub/software/drivers/sane/sane-backends/frontend/scanimage.c:291:
undefined reference to `md5_buffer'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [scanimage] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/pub/software/drivers/sane/sane-backends/frontend'


But now I get:

...

It seems that the tools are not producing object files properly or
something. Before I dive into something I don't understand does anyone
have a simple solution?

I did see this from ./configure

checking whether the g++ linker (/usr/bin/ld) supports shared
libraries... yes
checking dynamic linker characteristics... cat:
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf: No such file or directory
GNU/Linux ld.so
