I did a SANE1.0 compile on 3.0-RELEASE. It was a mostly clean compile.
I had to hack several makefiles to add linking with the cam library
(-lcam) and the jpeg library (-ljpeg). There was also one backend (for
a kodak camera I believe) which had some serious problems which I just
commented out. Probably the biggest gotcha with FreeBSD is that
your scanner config file should have the explicit /dev/pass? device
listed. A symlink named /dev/scanner will not work...
