First of all, I'm using "scanimage" rather than "xsane". Would that work for "scanimage" too? If yes, am I getting this right: - I have to clone and build https://github.com/Ordissimo/libmfp2-canon.git which in turn depends on cloning and building https://github.com/Ordissimo/scangearmp2.git - And since I'm on Gentoo which only offers "media-gfx/sane-backends" version 1.0.31 (this package currently seems to be more or less un- maintained) I'd finally have to clone and build https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends.git Ok, this leads to the question which changeset to check out and how to tell this final build where to find the other two. > I have not finished, the Flatbed, works, I plan to add the 600dpi. > For the ADF, only the first page is taken but I'll fix that after the > vacations. So it seems it doesn't make much sense to do all that compiling right now, does it? Could you please be so kind as to give me a thumb up via personal e-mail as soon as I should try?
