You probably can't :-) The idea is to avoid Linux- and gcc-specific code. > I've access only to Linux boxes and Sun Solaris on SPARC machines > (they do not even have PC-style parport).

I can test on FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD (everything i386), AIX, Solaris and Irix when I get some time. > Most important: current version of this backend will work _ONLY_ under > Linux - since it depends on custom linux loadable kernel module. Is it cause > do not include backend to official SANE version? No, that's not a problem. It should compile on every platform. No need to really work. If it just doesn't find a scanner, that's ok. If it really can't be compiled on anything other but Linux, a test for configure must be included. > For now (as I know) sanei_parport still not implemented - how can I > make my code totally independent? I don't like any new inb/outb and similar things in backends. If you only access a device file, I don't see any problem. Concerning sanei_parport: As I said before, this sounds nice but nobody has yet implemented this or included it into SANE. Bye, Henning
