<i>&gt;&gt; Hi guys,</i><br>
<i>&gt;&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt;&gt; One of the things I really like about sane is that it works, and works</i><br>
<i>&gt;&gt; pretty well. The thing I really dislike is that when I compile the</i><br>
<i>&gt;&gt; code I build backends for scanners I've never even seen, much less</i><br>
<i>&gt;&gt; have on my computer.</i><br>
<i>&gt;&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt;&gt; Would it make sense to implement some sort of configure time questions</i><br>
<i>&gt;&gt; to ask which backends you want compiled into our kernel?</i><br>
<p>
<p>
Oliver&gt; the backends are not compiled into your kernel. sane only<br>
Oliver&gt; build libraries that are installed on your harddisk.<br>
<p>
Correct, I mis-typed here, and didn't proof read enough before<br>
sending. <br>
<p>
Oliver&gt; The libraries are installed in /usr(/local)/lib/sane<br>
Oliver&gt; and all you have to pay is about 7 MB harddiskspace.<br>
<p>
It's not so much the disk space, but the feeling that we shouldn't<br>
bother to build backends that the user doesn't even have. And as much<br>
as we think it true, disk space isn't infinite. <br>
<p>
Oliver&gt; If that is too much, feel free to remove the backend-libraries<br>
Oliver&gt; you don`t need<br>
<p>
That's what I currently do now, but I was wondering if others felt the<br>
same way and if I should bother to make a patch for this behavior.<br>
<p>
John<br>
