Hello, I just tried compiling today's (July 30th) snapshot of the SANE backends. It works for the most part, except that it doesn't install the /usr/lib/libsane* libraries. It does install a bunch of libraries in /usr/bin/sane.
The missing libraries cause xsane to fail to compile (ld complains about not finding libsane). Copying the libraries by hand from the build directory to /usr/lib allow xsane to build successfully, and it seems to work fine. I compiled with this sequence of commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \ --disable-translations --enable-shared --enable-static && \ make && \ su -c 'make install' and I note these lines from the output of 'make install': libtool: install: warning: `../backend/libsane.la' has not been installed in `/usr/lib' /usr/bin/install -c .libs/scanimage /usr/bin/scanimage libtool: install: warning: `../backend/libsane.la' has not been installed in `/usr/lib' I have been unable to figure out why those libs are not being installed. Any pointers are highly appreciated.I have put a full build log in http://thewizardstower.org/sane.log. -- Miguel Bazdresch
