I upgraded to ubuntu 13.10 Now I get errors when making sane-backends that I don't think I got before. The error messages are:
scanimage.c: In function ?main?: scanimage.c:1897:5: error: format not a string literal and no format arguments [-Werror=format-security] printf (start); ^ scanimage.c:1911:9: error: format not a string literal and no format arguments [-Werror=format-security] printf (start); ^ I'm guessing ubuntu 13.10 has a new version of gcc which now classifies these as errors instead of warnings? gcc --version returns this: gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.8.1-10ubuntu8) 4.8.1 and I think ubuntu 13.04 had gcc version 4.7.3 adding a dummy format argument to lines 1897 and 1911 of scanimage.c like this: printf (start,0); allows it to compile without errors, but I don't know if that might cause any problems at run time? Perhaps there is a better solution, like an option telling gcc to treat these as warnings not errors? regards, Paul Newall
