+SANE on UnixWare 7
+==================
+
+The easiest way to get SANE working on a UnixWare 7.1.X system (UW 7.0.0
+and 7.0.1 are not supported) is to download and install the SANE binary
+distribution from SCOs Skunkware web site. 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
