[sane-devel] Has anyone managed to get Snapscan backend working with FreeBSD 8.0 (which uses libusb)?

Thanks for the pointer, I'll try to get this fixed in the backend. The  
code in question was added recently to fix another problem with  
calculating a unique identifier.

Maybe one of the guys who's experienced with autoconf can give me a  
hint on how to do this the best way. Should I just use "#ifdef BSD"  
around the code in question or is there some autoconf magic that would  
allow me to do a more advanced query?

I also have to retest this on OS X - the code in question looks very  
Linux specific.

Kind regards,

Oliver
