The URL is: + + ftp://ftp.sco.com/skunkware/uw7/Packages + +Use the pkgadd command to install the files, e.g.: + + # pkgadd -d `pwd`/sane-1.0.2.pkg + +A web page with further information specific to SANE on UnixWare 7 can be +found here: + + http://www.sco.com/skunkware/sane/index.html + +However, please note that the SANE package that is available from the +Skunkware server will most likely contain the latest stable version of +SANE. Since SANE is continously being worked on, you might want to download +the latest source from the CVS repository and build the source yourself. + +To build SANE on a UnixWare 7.1.X system the following packages are required: + + * make (GNU make) + * glibs (contains gtk, glib, libjpeg, libpnm, libtiff etc.; only + necessary for frontends xscanimage, xcam, and xsane which are + distributed separately) + +The packages can be downloaded from the Skunkware ftp server (see URL above). +I've used the following versions to build sane-1.0.2: + + * make-3.78.1.pkg + * glibs-2.0.3.pkg + +If you want to include support for The Gimp (this is optional), you need to +install the gimp package, too. This is the version I've used: + + * gimp-1.0.4.pkg + +GCC is not required. SANE compiles quite happily (and faster) with UnixWares +native C compiler. + +Set the LD_RUN_PATH variable to add /usr/local/lib to the list of directories +to be searched by the dynamic linker: + + $ LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/local/lib + $ export LD_RUN_PATH + +Run the configure script as following: + + $ LIBS="-lsdi" ./configure + +(The sdi library contains the SCSI passthrough functions the UW7 port of SANE +uses to access the scanner from user space.) + +Run gmake to build SANE: + + $ gmake + +SCSI access from user space requires special privileges. If you want users +without root perms to be able to use the scanner you can use the filepriv +command to change the privileges that are associated with the SANE +applications: + + # /sbin/filepriv -f driver -f sysops /usr/local/bin/scanimage + # /sbin/filepriv -f driver -f sysops /usr/local/bin/xscanimage + # /sbin/filepriv -f sysops /usr/local/bin/xcam + +If you have built SANE with support for The Gimp you might want to create +a symlink from the plug-in directory to the xscanimage and xcam binaries, +e.g.: + + # ln -s /usr/local/bin/xscanimage \ + /usr/local/lib/gimp/1.0/plug-ins/xscanimage + # ln -s /usr/local/bin/xcam /usr/local/lib/gimp/1.0/plug-ins/xcam + +Questions?
