There is at +least one such driver: the sane driver by R=I+S. + +The Unixware sane driver is a binary loadable module driver for UW2.x. +Please send Email to wolfgang@rapp-informatik.de to receive. + +What you need to build xane on Unixware 2.x +- gnu make + +You dont't need gcc. All is build with the standard Unixware cc and +libs!! + +For the X-frontends xscanimage and xsane (separately distributed) you need +libs like libgtk libgimp and the image libs for jpeg, tiff and png. It is +also good to have gettext with libintl installed. Most of the libs are +available on the Skunkware CD's from SCO in pkgadd format. If you build the +frontends with this libs gimp plugin is also supported by xscanimage and +xsane. Latest xsane version tested was 0.48. + +With the following configure should run an build shared libs with +libtool 1.3.4 + +LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/local/lib CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include -I/isr/X/include" CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/X/include +-I/usr/ucbinclude -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/ucblib -l ucb" LIBS="-lsocket -lnsl -lgen -I/opt/include -L/usr/ucblib -lucb" ./configure + +After running configure you have to edit the generated file libtool + +Append to the line +archive_cmds="\$LD -G -o \$lib \$libobjs \$deplibs \$linkopts + +so that it looks like this. +archive_cmds="\$LD -G -o \$lib \$libobjs \$deplibs \$linkopts -B bind_now -L/usr/local/lib -lintl -L/usr/ucblib -lucb -lm" + +This is a must to link the libucb.a , libintl.a in when the sane libs +are build.It's also necessary for mathematic lib -lm . Not doing this +will bring runtime errors like missimg usleep or pow function. + +ATTENTION:!!! libucb.a of Unixware 2.x has a buggy readdir function so +it is recommanded to remove readdir.o from libucb.a with ar -d +readdir.o libucb.a Often used and neded functions from libucb.a are +strncasecmp or getpagesize. + +If you use -I/usr/ucbinclude it is also a good idea to move +/usr/ucbinlcude/unistd.h to another file, because it will be included +first and some sources will not compile. + +Then you can run make with GNU make. + +After this say su and then ist good to say +LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/local/lib export LD_RUN_PATH + +after this you can install with +make install + +Tested on Unixware 2.0.x with Umax Astra 1220S and HP C5100A with +sane-1.0.1.

The UW2.x sane driver do not block the controller. The +scanner must be switched on to be recognized by UW, if the low level +driver p.e. adsl is loaded. + +To configure an UMAX scanner, configuration file +/usr/local/etc/sane.d/umax.conf might contain: + + /dev/scanner + +The driver is configured to recognice all scsi scanners with ID +SCANNER and all HP Scsi scanners with ID Processor and Inquiry string +starting with "HP" string. For details have a look to +/etc/conf/pack.d/sane/space.c. + +If you change this then you must unload the sane driver modadmin -U +sane, build the new module by /etc/conf/bin/idbuild -M sane and the +install the driver with modadmin -l sane. + +If you have questions or problems with the Unixware support in SANE, +send mail to: + +wolfgang@rapp-informatik.de |
