-Quick install:
---------------
-
-$ ./configure
-$ make
-$ make install
-
-Step by step install on Linux 2.6.* and 3.*, both with udev:
-------------------------------------------------------------
-
-1. Install with your preferred package manager:
- (a) the development environment for your Linux distibution
- - mandatory: gcc, make, kernel header files
- - optional: git
- (b) missing development packages
- - libusb-dev or libusb-devel or libusb-compat-devel
-
-2. Get the latest SANE backend from git:
- You can download "daily git snapshot" from here:
-
- http://www.sane-project.org/snapshots/
-
- If you prefer to use git, you can fetch a read-only copy of the git tree
- with this command:
-
- $ git clone git://git.debian.org/sane/sane-backends.git
-
- If you already are using a self compiled SANE backend and just fetched a
- new copy of the git tree or if you patched some source files, there is no
- need to follow the installation procedure again. You only need to make and
- install libsane:
-
- $ make && sudo make install
-
-3. Configure, make and install latest SANE backend:
- We install a new SANE dynamically linked shared object library in
- /usr/local/lib beside your system's SANE library.
-
- $ ./configure
- $ make && sudo make install
-
-3.1. SANE library:
- Register new installed SANE dynamically linked shared object library.
-
- $ sudo ldconfig -v | grep libsane
- libsane.so.1 -> libsane.so.1.0.25
- libsane.so.1 -> libsane.so.1.0.23
-
- This example shows that the system first find version 1.0.25 and then 1.0.23.
- This is the correct order.
-
- If your system first find the old version and then the new installed one,
- then you must change the order for library paths in /etc/ld.so.conf or you
- must create the new configuration file /etc/ld.so.conf.d/1-sane.conf.
-
- $ echo "/usr/local/lib" | sudo tee -a /etc/ld.so.conf.d/1-sane.conf
-
- Then you must repeat this step.
-
-3.2. Localization file:
-
- $ cd /usr/share/locale/<language>/LC_MESSAGES
- $ sudo ln -sf /usr/local/share/locale/<language>/LC_MESSAGES/sane-backends.mo .
- $ cd -
-
-3.3. udev rules file:
-
- $ sudo cp tools/udev/libsane.rules /etc/udev/rules.d
-
- Reconnect your scanner to the USB bus to activate the new rules file.
-
-3.4. Use the scanner with normal user rights:
-
- Your user must be a member of the group scanner.
-
- $ cat /etc/group | grep scanner
- scanner:x:107:<user>
-
- Create a new group scanner, if it doesn't exist.
-
- $ sudo addgroup scanner
-
- Add an existing user to group scanner.
-
- $ sudo adduser <username> scanner
-
- After this you must logoff and login again.
-
-4. Test your scanner:
-
-4.1. Check the used backend version:
-
- The programs must use the installed SANE backend version, e.g. 1.0.25.
-
- $ scanimage -V
- scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.25git; backend version 1.0.25
-
- This example shows that backend and scanimage are version 1.0.25.
-
- $ /usr/bin/scanimage -V
- scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.23; backend version 1.0.25
-
- This example shows that an old scanimage (1.0.23) uses the backend 1.0.25.
-
- If you want to use xsane, start xsane and check the used version with
- CTRL - i.
-
-4.2. Access scanner with normal user rights:
-
- $ scanimage -L
-
- If your scanner isn't recognised here, try this:
-
- $ sudo scanimage -L
-
- If this works, your user doesn't have the rights to access the scanner.
-
- However, please check and redo the installation described above.
- If this doesn't help, you can ask the mailing list
- <sane-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org> for further support.
-
-4.3. Testscan:
-
- $ cd ~
- $ scanimage > test.pnm
-
