Hello
> The LD_LIBRARY_PATH looks suspicious.
What exactly is suspicious?
> Is there any way around it using other SANE tooling?
AFAIK there's no simpler runtime-only solution:
- You could use patchelf to prepend the store's lib/sane directory
onto the binary's RPATH, but that's as even even more fiddly as
setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH
- sane-config only spits out compile-time flags (-I..., -L...,
-lsane); it doesn't tell the loader where to find backends at runtime.
BTW, I've polished the patch. Please ignore the previous one - the
phase name was wrong ("wrap-flatpak" instead of "wrap-simple-scan").
Cheers

Subject: [PATCH] gnu: simple-scan: enable scanning over network for eSCL/WSD
scanners
* gnu/packages/gnome.scm (simple-scan)[inputs]: Add sane-airscan.
<#:phases>: Wrap simple-scan to set
- LD_LIBRARY_PATH to sane-airscan's lib/sane
- SANE_CONFIG_DIR to sane-airscan's etc/sane.d
This change allows simple-scan to automatically detect and use eSCL or WSD
(AirScan) backends over the network.
