SANE and Darwin (Mac OS X)
|

|
|
|
--------------------------

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Building:
|
|
|
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
|
You may get the message: "gcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1obj got
|
|
|
|
|
fatal signal 11". That's not a bug in SANE. Probably a compiler or hardware
|
|
|
|
|
problem. The error usually occurs in canon.c because that's the most complex
|
|
|
|
|
backend (at least concerning compilation). If you can't update your compiler,
|
|
|
|
|
try to reduce optimization (e.g. CFLAGS="-O1" ./configure). Another
|
|
|
|
|
work-around: Disable the canon backend in backend/Makefile.in (look at
|
|
|
|
|
PRELOADABLE_BACKENDS) and rerun configure.

General:
|
|
|
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
|
If scanimage -L (or any other frontend) stops with a segmentation fault in the
|
|
|
|
|
sm3600 backend, disable sm3600 in dll.conf if you don't need it.

|
|
|
Backends that use the function "fork" may not work at least with USB scanners.
|
|
|
|
|
That's a limitation of MacOS X (doesn't use file descriptors for USB access).
|
2004-10-16 23:41:36 +00:00
|
|
|
Most backends have been modified to use threads on MacOS X and should
|
2003-12-26 17:54:43 +00:00
|
|
|
work. Others don't use fork at all. Both types of backends should work with
|
|
|
|
|
MacOS X. Changing the backends to use threads is an ongoing effort.

SCSI-scanners and Firewire scanners:
|
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
There is support for SCSI and Firewire scanners but hasn't had much
|
|
|
|
|
testing. Please send failure and success reports to the sane-devel mailing
|
|
|
|
|
list. At least the Epson Perfection 1640SU and the CANON IX-06015C (CanoScan
|
|
|
|
|
600) are reported to work.

USB-scanners:
|
|
|
|
|
-------------
|
2005-05-07 19:08:56 +00:00
|
|
|
Work with libusb. Try "sane-find-scanner -v -v" and report success or
|
|
|
|
|
failure to the SANE mailing list. At least the following scanners are
|
|
|
|
|
known to work: UMAX Astra 1220U and 2000U, Epson Perfection 1640SU and
|
|
|
|
|
2450 Photo.

|
|
|
|
2005-09-17 04:48:55 +00:00
|
|
|
Use libusb version 0.1.11 or later (or a cvs checkout from 2005-09-01
|
2005-05-07 19:08:56 +00:00
|
|
|
or later). If you use earlier versions the libusb code needs to be
|
|
|
|
|
patched.

Parport-scanners:

|
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
|
I don't have any information about these. Please contact me or the SANE mailing
|
|
|
|
|
list if you succeeded in using one of these.
