SANE on Windows
Prerequisites
=============
To be able to compile sane-backends, you need to have either Cygwin
or Mingw compilers and a suitable POSIX compatible environment.
You can get the Cygwin POSIX compatible environment for Windows
Windows and the Cygwin gcc compiler at http://www.cygwin.com
You can get the MSYS POSIX compatible environment for Windows and the
MinGW gcc compiler at http://www.mingw.org/wiki/MSYS
The scanner must be detected by Windows and not be disabled. Check
with the hardware manager.
Building
========
See general README for build basics. If a given backend fails to
compile, you can use the BACKENDS variable to limit compilation
to backends your interested in:
./configure BACKENDS=epson2
Configuring
===========
If you have more than one scanner, you should do the following:
- run sane-find-scanner to get the device name of the scanner. The
name for scsi devices is something like h0b0t6l0, meaning hba 0, bus 0,
scsi id 6 and lun 0.
- edit the config file for the backend
(/path/to/sane/etc/sane.d/xxxx.conf) and add the scanner device name on
an empty line.
- Set environment variable SANE_CONFIG_DIR to point to the directory
where the config files are located.
Run "scanimage > out.pnm" to get a scan.
xscanimage ans XSane have been reported to compile and run in the past
under Cygwin.
Notes
=====
- Only SCSI, USB (with libusb-win32), and network scanners may work. No
FireWire/Parallel. The Cygwin libusb port can be installed
with Cygwin setup.exe or can be compiled manually under cygwin
or mingw using the libusb-win32 port:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/libusb-win32/wiki
- Tested on Windows XP, 7, and using Wine on Linux.
- Some scanners' backend may not work because of requirement not
supported by Cygwin or MinGW.
