I would like to inform you, that I have compiled SANE on Sun Solaris 10 x86 with built-in USB scanner support. It was possible, because Sun had prepared libusb library wrapper for Solaris 10. I know, that Solaris 10 Software Express Release 08/04 is required. I have done it in that way: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/sfw/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH CFLAGS="-I/usr/sfw/include" CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/sfw/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/sfw/lib -R/usr/sfw/lib -lusb" export LD_LIBRARY_PATH CFLAGS CPPFLAGS LDFLAGS ./configure --prefix=/opt/sane --disable-fork-process make make install It was also required to add a generic USB kernel driver. I had to look for my scanner device name in output of prtconf -D -v command. My scanner is Plustek UT24 and the apropriate part of output looked like this: name='compatible' type=string items=8 value='usb7b3,17.100' + ... I had to remove the not used kernel driver rem_drv ugen And add it again: add_drv -i 'usb7b3,17.100' ugen Then, /opt/sane/bin/sane-find-scanner detected my scanner and everything worked fine. I to add " " signs around usb7b3,17.100 name in /etc/driver_aliases to have the scanner working after reboot. To compile this packages SUNWlibusb and SUNWlibusbugen were needed. I used Solaris Software Companion CD gcc 2.95.3 compiler and Sun's /usr/ccs/bin/ld linker. USB support DOES NOT work in Solaris 9 and earlier versions. I hope, that this information would be useful for other USB scanner users.
