It would be helpful, if non-Debian-specific bugs would be sent to sane-devel or (if the sender isn't subscribed to the list) to me ([email protected]). I sometimes check the bug tracking systems but that's not too easy with that much distributions and operating systems. Also any reports on compilation and running on anything other than Linux/i386 are appreciated. Currently only my tests for 1.0.6 are listed there. All the other platforms I can't test have entries for SANE 1.0.5 or even older. > and in particular, bugs #114579 and #118079? #118079 is a separate > issue from this, but it should be addressed. #114579 and #114632 should be fixed by the patch(es) in discussion. #114686: (config.guess and config.sub are too old). I'm getting errors when trying to access ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config/ . Can I just copy the files from libtool 1.4.2 or must libtool itsself be updated? In the latter case, this will probably be non-trivial because of some local changes in libtool to get it running on some platforms at all. #118079: (sane-config --libs doesn't return -ldl on ia64). Is this ia64-specific? I don't understand most of the lib/dll mechanism. Why is -lnsl -lm -ljpeg returned by sane-config (BACKEND_LIBS) but not -ldl (DL_LIB)? Bug or intentional? If I change sane-config.in like this: Index: tools/sane-config.in =================================================================== RCS file: /cvsroot/external/sane/sane-backends/tools/sane-config.in,v retrieving revision 1.7 diff -u -r1.7 sane-config.in --- sane-config.in 2001/04/19 07:28:42 1.7 +++ sane-config.in 2001/11/21 20:10:50 @@ -12,7 +12,7 @@ prefix="@prefix@" exec_prefix="@exec_prefix@" -LIBS="@LIBS@" +LIBS="@LIBS@ @DL_LIB@" pkgincludedir="@pkgincludedir@" pkglibdir="@pkglibdir@" includedir="@includedir@" Linking on Linux still works.

I have added all the bugs to the TODO list. Bye, Henning
