There is a macro "NO_AUTODETECT" that's used in that code. Maybe it's defined? Anyway, the code assumes that the parameter for sanei_usb_open is a filedescriptor and uses open instead of sanei_usb_open. That's not possible anymore in recent SANE versions. I'm pretty much surprised that it works at all. That external backend needs a maintainer to avoid bit-rot. Bye, Henning
