  Hi,

  Is it actually possible to compile sane? I downloaded both parts of the
  1.0.4 package. I tried to build the backends, but sanei_scsi.c has some
  preprocessor horkage by which it includes /usr/include/scsi/sg.h and
  /usr/include/linux/../scsi/sg.h, which are clearly the same file and gcc
  gets pissed off by redefinition. After I fixed this problem (not the
  right way, I'm sure, but by hard-coding #include <scsi/sg.h>), the package
  compiled and installed.

  Then I turned to the frontends. They won't even configure, because they
  can't detect the sane installation. The test program fails because it
  doesn't understand sane_major_version. No surprise there, because none of
  the sane header files define sane_major_version, only SANE_VERSION_MAJOR.

  BTW my system is slackware-current, Linux 2.4.0, gcc 2.95.2, glibc 2.2.

  So the bottom line is that I cannot compile sane release 1.0.4 on this
  system at all. Did I miss a magic step, or should I try the CVS version
  instead?

  For now, I'm sticking with vuescan.
