Are you asking for a statically linked frontend that includes just one<br>
|
|
backend or are you simply looking for an easy way to debug backends<br>
|
|
(without having to deal with dynamic loading etc.)?<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If it's the latter, you can simply invoke ./configure with option<br>
|
|
--disable-shared. Not only does this turn off shared libraries, but<br>
|
|
implicitly it also turns off dynamic loading. This means that all<br>
|
|
backends will be preloaded into dll and nothing dynamic will happen.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you want to bypass dll completely, simply replace the libsane.a<br>
|
|
symlink by a symlink that points to libsane-tamarack.a (and build with<br>
|
|
"./configure --disable-shared)."<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
I'll think about adding more info on this, though I'm kind of<br>
|
|
reluctant to burden the "casual" user with it since it's something<br>
|
|
that's likely to be relevant for developers only. Maybe I should add<br>
|
|
a seperate "developers only" section to the README.<br>

Duh, I must have gotten distracted by lunch or something... ;-)<br>

I fixed that now---thanks for catching it!<br>

<p>
|
|
Rogier> I have a transparency adapter. It is pretty simple: the bit<br>

|
It's probably easy to add whatever transparancy-adapter support is<br>
|
|
missing in the Mustek backend. But since I have never seen such a<br>
|
|
beast, I couldn't debug it myself, so I didn't bother spending time on<br>
|
|
something that may not work at all. So, the docs are not out of date,<br>
|
|
but as you say, the TA support is probably easy to get working.<br>
