Hi, Henning, thanks for updating the backend. I recently replaced my old microtek parallelport scannner with an Epson 2480 (what a difference!) and I think I will stop working on the microtek2 backend. But finally I would like to commit the changes I collected in the last time so they don't get lost. Henning, I'll send you the current files for the CVS, (I don't think I will need CVS access). They include the changes you made. I tried to test todays CVS version on my old machine with the old scanner and I experienced a compilation problem:
make[1]: Wechsel in das Verzeichnis Verzeichnis /home/karsten/tmp/sane-backends/tools gcc -c -g -O2 -W -Wall -Wcast-align -Wcast-qual -Wmissing-declarations -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wreturn-type -Wstrict-prototypes -pedantic -ansi -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../include -I../include -DPATH_SANE_CONFIG_DIR=/usr/local/etc/sane.d -DPATH_SANE_DATA_DIR=/usr/local/share -DV_MAJOR=1 -DV_MINOR=0 sane-find-scanner.c sane-find-scanner.c: In function `parse_file': sane-find-scanner.c:973: warning: implicit declaration of function `check_libusb_device' sane-find-scanner.c:974: sizeof applied to an incomplete type [...much more of this...] sane-find-scanner.c:1070: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type sane-find-scanner.c:1073: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type make[1]: *** [sane-find-scanner.o] Fehler 1 make[1]: Verlassen des Verzeichnisses Verzeichnis /home/karsten/tmp/sane-backends/tools make: *** [all-recursive] Fehler 1 Looks like a libusb issue? I don't have libusb installed on the old machine but I ran configure with --disable-libusb so I expected no problems. Compiling on the new machine (which has libusb) works, but the 2.6 Kernel doesn't have ppscsi support so I can't test the backend right now.
