Thanks Ralph
Seems to be installed just fine.

Next step would be either to attach via USB (some effort ;) or tell it
the IP address.
recently I added an IP address to xerox_mfp.conf which made the old
scanner work.
But the exact syntax was extremely hard to find because most network
topics deal with making network access to an USB scanner connected to a
remote PC.
and I fear the syntax for the Oki would be different.
any idea how I could solve this?

Hi,
I was able to compile the code without problem. But how to I feed the
driver to sane?
If you have the backend .so file, you can add "oki" to the
/etc/sane.d/dll.conf and let SANE able to find the .so by adding the
path that directory in LD_LIBRARY_PATH env variable.
Then try a "scanimage -L".
If you want to know where SANE is looking and to make sure that it
finds your new backend, you can do: "SANE_DEBUG_DLL=5 scanimage -L"
I can't remember off the top of my head if you need to configure the
machine in a config file. This should get you started though,
Cheers,
Ralph
