You can use any language you wish for your backend. However, if you want it to be part of the sane-backends distribution, please use C only. Even if we'd add a check for c++ in configure.in and compile the backend conditionally, you can't be sure that you don't get all sorts of compatibility problems with old c++ compilers. Have alook at our supported platforms page to get an idea on what kind of software SANE has already been built: http://www.sane-project.org/sane-support.html Bye, Henning
