Hi all! I'm new to C development coming from a web dev bootcamp background.
I suggest you to write a standalone driver, which compiles outside of
the sane-backends tree.
At this case you will not be forced to integrate with SANE build
ecosystem from the very beginning. It would be enough if you'll start
with writing a trivial Makefile, and them concentrate on writing your C
code.
Once you have successfully build your libsane-XXX.so.1, you may create a
symbolic link from SANE drivers installation directory to your build
directory. At this case, your driver will be automatically "updated"
every time you rebuild it, without need of reinstallation.
