[sane-devel] Unable to Build Sane Backends

[Wes Rishel]

 Once again, thanks for your nearly instantaneous reply. When I run
./autogen.sh I get what is shown below an apparent infinite loop leading to
a segmentation fault. I suspect that this is related to the highlighted
line below, but I am not clear on what to try ti address it.

Some specific information.

   - this is from a download that I made today from
   https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends/-/tree/master/backend
   - I downloaded as a zip and expanded the zip into a newly-created
   directory. I ran the command in that directory.
   - prior to running the command I verified the presence of libtool-bin,
   libusb-dev, autoconf, libjpeg-dev, and gettext,
   - All were at or more advanced than the versions specified in the README
   - I did not check for libgphoto2 or a C++11 compliant C++ compiler as I
   only intended to rebuild the fujitso backend.
   - I have rebooted and redownloaded the backends repository to an empty
   directory with no change
   - In order to capture the early error output I reran the command as
   ~/HETP/sane/backends-master$ ./autogen.sh > output.txt 2>&1
   - my goal is to get a fujitsu backend rebuilt according to the
   instructions to enable sanner-side compression as described in
   https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/sane-devel/2009-April/024516.html
   - If there is an easier way to accomplish this I am open to suggestions.
