SANE backends are regular, full-fledged shared libraries that are totally and transparently interchangeable. What's called libsane.so is in fact the dll pseudo-backend which goes and dlopen()s the other backends. You can cp /usr/lib/sane/libsane-foo.so /usr/lib/libsane.so and it'll just work. So this patch has no reason to exist at all. Also note that the libtool script used in sane-backends is slightly modified to support that. Please drop this patch from OpenSUSE, as you're now incompatible with the rest of the SANE world. JB. -- Julien BLACHE <http://www.jblache.org> <jb at jblache.org> GPG KeyID 0xF5D65169
