Hello Sane-devel, dear Henning, Thursday, October 20, 2005, 8:00:48 PM, you wrote: HMG> According to our scanner search engine this scanner is supported by HMG> the external "scanwit" backend:

Max Ushakov is out of the game since he's working digital only now. Henning, on 23.10.2005 you were giving a hint how to compile the sources, I did the following on sane-backends-1.0.19: - Edit configure.in, add scanwit in the "BACKENDS="-section, run "autoconf". - patching the backend/Makefile.in like this, did it manually but this in a patchfile might work (my naive idea how to alter a patchfile ...) <code> *** Makefile.in Tue Feb 19 20:12:23 2002 --- Makefile.in-scanwit 2009 *************** *** 207,210 **** --- 207,211 ---- umax_pp_mid.c umax_pp_mid.h \ umax1220u.c umax1220u-common.c umax1220u.conf.in \ + scanwit.c scanwit-scsi.c scanwit-buf.c scanwit-misc.c scanwit.h \ v4l.c v4l.conf.in v4l-frequencies.h v4l.h *************** *** 570,273 **** --- 570,576 ---- libsane-umax1220u.la: ../sanei/sanei_usb.lo libsane-umax1220u.la: ../sanei/sanei_pv8630.lo + libsane-scanwit.la: ../sanei/sanei_scsi.lo + libsane-scanwit.la: ../sanei/sanei_config.lo + libsane-scanwit.la: ../sanei/sanei_config2.lo ifneq ($(DLL_PRELOAD),) <\code> - copied the other files to backend/ directory. - ./configure, make Now I would like to leave my sane installation as is and just add the scanwit drivers as described here http://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=4250316 but with scanwit-stuff. Will that work or doesn't sane know the scanwit because it is somewhere else introduced to sane? What would be necessary to include the driver in the supported backends? Only the docs or fiddling with the scsi-stuff? I could write something as a doc but I think programming is much beyond my programmer-skills. Thanks for hints! cheerio Holger
