It may be necessary to specify the path to GNU make and the + compiler by setting the environment variables MAKE and CC before running + configure. + +- You must install the sane-backends package before you can configure this + package. If you use pre-compiled binaries (e.g. from your distribution) you + will also have to install the SANE headers (maybe in a package called + sane-devel or similar). In this case you also need the -devel packages for + all the software sane-backends depends on (e.g. libusb). If you're lucky, + your distribution took care of that. Otherwise run sane-config --libs and + make sure that the -devel packages for all the libraries mentioned in the + output are installed. + +- For xscanimage and xcam you need the X Window libraries and headers. + Furthermore GTK version 0.99.13 (or 1.0.*, 1.2.*, 2.0.*) must be installed + together with its header files. GTK can be found at http://www.gtk.org/. For + some operating systems it's necessary to set the path to gtk-config + explicitely. This can be done by using the environment variable + GTK_CONFIG. For FreeBSD try `GTK_CONFIG=/usr/X11R6/bin/gtk12-config'. + +- If you want to use xscanimage as a GIMP plug-in, the GIMP libraries and + headers are necessary. See http://www.gimp.org/. See also `man xscanimage'. + Versions 1.2.*, and 2.0.* are known to work. + +- If you get an error message that libsane-dll.so.1 or libsane-so.1 is not + found, you have to tell your system where the SANE-libraries are installed. + On some systems the library directory `/usr/local/lib' is not searched by + the system's dynamic library loader. If SANE is installed in `/usr/local/...' + you have to tell your system's dynamic library loader to search in + `/usr/local/lib'. For Linux: add the path `/usr/local/lib' to + /etc/ld.so.conf and call ldconfig (as root). Another approach is to set the + environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or the equivalent on other operating + systems) to `/usr/local/lib'. + +- OS/2: If you get errors like this one: "xcam.o: Undefined symbol + _pthread_write referenced from text segment", libpthread must be linked. + Find "gtk-config" on your system and add "-lpthreads" to the list of + libraries. + +Uninstall +========= + +To uninstall the binaries and manual pages, type `make uninstall'. + + +See also the PROBLEMS and README files. |
