Currently you can't do that easily. There is a TODO list entry for such an option, however, nobody has implemented it yet. > No backends needed, as all scanning would happen over the network. > saned is not needed You will need at least the net backend and maybe the dll backend for this to work. The frontends don't know anything about the network. > Possibly libraries and headers of sane would be needed to compile other > frontends (not sure, so far I always compiled frontends having > sane-backends already installed). I guess such an option (./configure --enable-net-client-only?) should just disable saned and only enable net and dll. You can do that manually by editing backend/Makefile.in and removing everything but net from PRELOADABLE_BACKENDS, and run ./configure, make, make install. Bye, Henning
