Well, I tried that and xsane now complains that it needs sane-backends 1.0.0 or higher.<br><br>To get here, I had to unmerge sane-backends, sane-frontends and xsane, then to keep portage from bashing them, I masked them. I then downloaded the source for sane-backends and compiled it. That went fine and when I tried the same with xsane, I get:<br>
<br>ERROR: SANE-1.0.0 or newer is needed for compiling xsane<br> - if you installed SANE as rpm make sure you also included<br> sane-devel<br><br></blockquote><div><br>I just did some limited testing with current CVS and xsane- 0.996 and had success. Note: I found an additional typo in sane-config and just submitted a fix to CVS. You'll want to update again.<br>
</div></div><br>Your error message above is because xsane can not find the "sane-config" of your CVS sane-backends. Step I did are similar to following:<br><br>cd sane-backend<br>./configure --prefix=/usr/local/sane<br>
make; make install<br><br>export PATH=/usr/local/sane/bin:$PATH<br>cd /path/to/src/xsane-0.996<br>cd src<br>vi xsane-backend-gtk.c<br><comment out all of if(SANE_CAPS_ALWAYS_SETTABLE) at lines 2615-2618 as its not documented by SANE1 API and not in current CVS... It was in sane-1.0.19 for what ever reasons but only used by qcam and v4l backends. I'm sure you'll not notice reduced functionality.><br>
