.SH SANE STANDARD AND WRITING BACKENDS
The
.B SANE
standard defines the application programming interface (API) that is used to
communicate between frontends and backends. It can be found at
@DOCDIR@/sane.tex and net.tex and on the SANE website:
http://www.mostang.com/sane/html/ (HTML), or
@DOCDIR@/sane.ps (if latex is installed on your system) and on the SANE
website: http://www.mostang.com/sane/html/ (HTML), or
http://www.mostang.com/sane/sane.ps (Postscript).

There is some more information for programmers in
@DOCDIR@/backend-writing.txt. Before a new backend or frontend project is started,
have a look at @DOCDIR@/PROJECTS for projects that are planned or not yet included
into the SANE distribution.

Your help is always appreciated. Look at @DOCDIR@/TODO for things that should
be done. Not only programmers are needed, but also reading and fixing the
documentation and reporting bugs would be nice. Contact the SANE mailing list
for details.

Your backend is not listed in @CONFIGDIR@/dll.conf (or commented out).

There are older installations of SANE on your system. If you installed the
SANE libraries in /usr/local/lib (default) you should check if there are
older SANE libraries at /usr/lib. Remove them (rm -r /usr/lib/libsane*
/usr/lib/sane).
.TP
*
If you can use SANE with scanimage but not with other (graphical) frontends,
check that /etc/ld.so.conf contains /usr/local/lib and does
.B not
contain /usr/local/lib/sane. See also the documentation of the frontends.
.SH REPORTING BUGS
If you think you found a bug in a backend, contact the author of your
backend. Usually the email address can be found in the @DOCDIR@/AUTHORS
file. If he isn't marked as `active maintainer´ you can also contact the SANE
mailing list sane-devel (see http://www.mostang.com/sane/mail.html for
details). You must be subscribed to the list, otherwise your mail won't be
sent to the subscribers.
.P
If you want to report bugs concerning compilation, installation, porting, and
documentation of SANE, you can also contact the author of this manual page:
