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. SCSI-scanners: -------------- Probably not supported because there are no functions in sanei_scsi to access the Darwin generic SCSI devices. Patches are welcome. USB-scanners: ------------- Works with libusb. Very limited testing until now. Try "sane-find-scanner -v -v" and report success or failure to the SANE mailing list. Backends that use fork to create separate reader processes seem to fail. 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. 2002-12-30 Henning Meier-Geinitz
