Hi!<br>
<p>
Since Linux/SPARC isn't listed on the Supported Platforms list at the sane<br>
website, I thought someone might be interested in this.<br>
<p>
I recently successfully compiled sane 0.68 on my Sun SPARCStation 1+<br>
running Linux/SPARC, kernel 2.0.30.<br>
<p>
No changes were required to the SANE code, but I did need to make<br>
(temporary) changes in a few /usr/include/{asm|linux} header files to make<br>
it compile. Most of these involved #defining __KERNEL__ and such to avoid<br>
missing things. The header files mainly seemed to bicker about themselves<br>
and each other; it's not a sane problem. In fact, later Linux/SPARC<br>
kernels may have fixed these problems. This may all be irrelevant. ;)<br>
<p>
Anyway, back to the point. The compile was smooth and scanimage runs<br>
perfectly. To test it, I hooked up my UMAX Astra 1200S scanner to the<br>
built-in external SCSI port on the Sun. It runs surprisingly fast for the<br>
little 25 MHz sparc.<br>
<p>
Only problem relates to the sparc SCSI, not sane. While the scanner is<br>
moving and not scanning, the kernel vomits out a steady stream of:<br>
<p>
esp0: Warning, live target 5 not responding to selection.<br>
(scanner is ID 5)<br>
<p>
Also, once, the scanner froze the SCSI bus and the system eventually<br>
kernel panicked (root drive is on the same bus) ... but this happened once<br>
out of 20 or so successful scans.<br>
<p>
BTW: i have also tested saned on this machine.. i have xscanimage<br>
plugged into gimp on a nearby 486, and it grabs images from<br>
net:buster:umax fine. (FAST!) :)<br>
<p>
I THANK EVERYONE who has worked on sane.. this is an incredible program.<br>
:) It has saved me a huge headache!<br>
<p>
Thanks!<br>
Justin<br>
