Hi, Just some comments despite I just installed gphoto2 for the first time.

If they are in a subdirectory, run-time linking wouldn't work without setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH. > Then it complained about libjpeg libraries missing, this was because > some > of them were in /usr/lib so I linked these into /usr/local/lib. The SANE jpeg test doen't look in any special directory. It just tries to include the header and links against a function. If it doesn't find libjpeg in /usr/local/lib, maybe /usr/local/lib is not mentioned in /etc/ld.so.conf? > Next was the includes for gphoto2...the '-I' directive was > '-I$with_gphoto2/include/gphoto2' but $with_gphoto2 was empty.

Maybe in the source code "gphoto2/gphoto2.h" and not only "gphoto2.h" must be included? > Then it complained of a missing config.h file. I copied one over from > the > gphoto2 source tree.

Peter Fales <[email protected]> is the mainatiner of this backend. Peter: Would it be reasonable to use gphoto2-config to determine the LDFLAGS and CFLAGS like it's done for gtk-config in the sane-frontends package? Bye, Henning
