Thanks.

If it doesn't, either "genesys" is not in dll.conf, the genesys backend wasn't compiled at all or something is wrong with you code :-) Does "SANE_DEBUG_GENESYS=255 scanimage -L" show some genesys debug messages? I'll add a README that explains how to build the genesys backend to the CVS repository. > # xscanimage genesys:libusb:005:002 > xscanimage: relocation error: /usr/lib/sane/libsane-genesys.so.1: undefined > symbol: sanei_usb_init > " The genesys backend wasn't linked to sanei_usb.

No. Fix backend/Makefile.in. I'll attach the README. Bye, Henning Introduction ============ This is the SANE genesys backend. It's intended to support scanners which use the Genesys Logic GL646 or GL841 chips. A list of such scanners can be found on the genesys backend homepage: http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/genesys-backend/ This backend does not work yet. While there is some code for the GL646, actual scanning is not supported yet. The backend moves home the scan head, does some tests, turns on the lamp and tries to calibrate the device. That calibration fails, however. There is no support for the GL841 yet. Also most hardware settings (resolution etc.) aren't taken from the model struct yet. How to use the backend ====================== This directory contains only the backend code itsself. You'll also need the complete sane-backends source code. Get that code, e.g. from one of the development snapshots. Unpack it. Copy the files from genesys/ directory into the backend/ directory of sane-backends. Add "genesys" to backend/dll.conf. Add "genesys" to configure.in (BACKENDS variable). Run autoconf. Add the following two lines to "backend/Makefile.in" after the comment "# We must not buold SANE backend libraries ...": libsane-genesys.la: ../sanei/sanei_constrain_value.lo libsane-genesys.la: ../sanei/sanei_usb.lo Run "./configure", "make", and "make install" as usual. Use "export SANE_DEBUG_GENESYS=255" to enable debugging. Add code until the backend works :-) 2004-04-18 Henning Meier-Geinitz <[email protected]>
