Greetings fellow list-members.<br>
<p>
My apologies for the length of this message.<br>
<p>
I am a recent convert to OpenStep/Intel 4.0, a multi-platform  <br>
descendent of NeXTStep.  This is a mach-based OS having an appealing  <br>
GUI on top of what is essentially BSD 4.3. Generic SCSI devices are  <br>
supported.<br>
<p>
I would love to be able to compile SANE for OpenStep in order to use  <br>
the Mustek scanner I have.  One of the linux mustek drivers has been  <br>
ported to NeXTStep but this doesn't support my scanner. I have  <br>
searched the list archives for any mention of NeXT without success.<br>
<p>
The difficulty lies in the fact that I am very much a programming  <br>
neophyte.   I have been trying without much understanding to compile  <br>
sane-0.55, 0.57 and the very latest 0.6.   With any of these I can  <br>
use configure to create what look like reasonable Makefiles and  <br>
config.h, but I suspect that vital things may be missing and their  <br>
absence isn't even apparent to me:<br>

<p>
It looks to my untutored eye as though something important might be  <br>
missing from OpenStep's SCSI support, but how would I know.<br>
<p>
Can anyone advise me whether this is completely a lost cause?  Are  <br>
there any subscribers to the list with NeXT/OpenStep experience?<br>
<p>
Once again apologies for the length of this - I'm sure the last  <br>
thing many of you want to see is the output of a configure command -  <br>
but it seemed like the only way to make what little information I  <br>
have available to people who might understand it.<br>
<p>
Many Thanks,<br>
Neville Wilford<br>
