Look at http://home.tiscalinet.de/fbakan/sane-os2.htm for information about
|
|
compiling SANE on OS/2 (from Franz Bakan).

The following text was for 1.0.3, but it may help nevertheless.

WARNING:
|
|
--------
|
|
This release of has been compiled with EMX 0.9D, so it doesn't work with
|
|
the previous runtime. You must upgrade to the latest runtime before running
|
|
SANE (actually EMX 0.9D fix 03).

For more info about the SANE Project, please visit

|
|
|
|
You should also check the main site for an updated list of supported scanners.
|
|
|
|
Note that I can't say you if your scanner is supported; check SANE homepage
|
|
instead.

SUPPORT
|
|
-------
|
|
I'm sorry to tell you that it is hard for me to help you: if your scanner
|
|
doesn't work or your problem can't be reproduced on my pc, there are high
|
|
choices that I can't fix the bug. Most problems are specific to same PC/scanner
|
|
combinations, and can't be solved without having a full development environment
|
|
and programming experience.
|
|
|
|
I have setup a mailing list for users, where I hope most people can find an
|
|
answer to their questions. You will find that I answer only sometimes, because
|
|
I'm too busy.

DOCUMENTATION
|
|
-------------
|
|
To read docs with correct format, you should type
|
|
|
|
more < doc\sane-epson.txt
|
|
|
|
If someone has more ideas on how to get a correct .txt starting from a .man
|
|
file, he is welcome (actually I'm using groff).
|
|
|
|
|
|
INSTALLATION
|
|
------------
|
|
If you already didn't it, install the correct driver for your scsi adapter.
|
|
The drivers has usually a .ADD extension and looks like
|
|
|
|
BASEDEV=AHA154X.ADD
|
|
|
|
Then you need the ASPI driver: this driver is already in your OS2\BOOT
|
|
directory, so you have only to add
|
|
|
|
BASEDEV=OS2ASPI.DMD /ALL
|
|
|
|
The /ALL switch is required only if you need to use other devices with
|
|
aspirout.sys, e.g. if you have a CD-RW and CDRecord/2 installed.
|
|
|
|
Last, add aspirout.sys to your config.sys
|
|
|
|
DEVICE=D:\OS2\BOOT\ASPIROUT.SYS
|
|
|
|
N.B. you can change the path to other directories.
|
|
Now reboot.
|
|
|
|
To run scanimage.exe you need also to download the latest EMX runtime,
|
|
available on Hobbes or Leo as emxrt.zip.
|
|
|
|
find-scanner.exe can be used to recognize a scanner on the scsi bus. Then
|
|
you should edit your xxx.conf file and add the scanner address, a string like
|
|
b0t4l0. This can be simplified using autodetection: with autodetection you can
|
|
use a string like
|
|
|
|
scsi EPSON
|
|
|
|
in your xxx.conf file; the autodection will enable the backend that recognize
|
|
'EPSON' in the scanner id.
|
|
|
|
To test scanimage, run
|
|
|
|
scanimage --help
|
|
|
|
you should see your scanner following the list of internal devices:
|
|
|
|
List of available devices:
|
|
pnm:0 pnm:1
|
|
|
|
If it is not present, check your scsi driver, the aspi driver OS2ASPI.DMD and
|
|
aspirout.sys; on Warp4 you can use the Hardware Manager to check scanner
|
|
presence. Then look at your xxx.conf, maybe there is something wrong in the
|
|
text.
|
|
|
|
|
|
USAGE:
|
|
------
|
|
Once configured your system, create a proper .conf file (edit one of the
|
|
supplied templates) and run
|
|
|
|
scanimage -L
|
|
|
|
The output should be like
|
|
|
|
device `umax:b0t3l0' is a UMAX Vista-S8 flatbed scanner
|
|
device `pnm:0' is a Noname PNM file reader virtual device
|
|
device `pnm:1' is a Noname PNM file reader virtual device
|
|
|
|
The pnm devices are always available, while on the first line you should
|
|
read the id of your scanner.
|
|
|
|
A simple scan
|
|
|
|
scanimage -d umax > test.pnm
|
|
|
|
will do a scan with default parameters. Run
|
|
|
|
scanimage -d umax --help
|
|
|
|
to get a full list of available switches.
|
|
|
|
|
|
SANED:
|
|
------
|
|
In this release the SANE network daemon can be used (with a limit).
|
|
First edit your \mptn\etc\services and add
|
|
|
|
sane 6566/tcp # SANE network scanner daemon
|
|
|
|
(maybe a reboot is required to apply that change).
|
|
Create a saned.conf in the same directory of saned.exe and add a list of valid
|
|
client addresses; the clients are allowed to access the local scanner.
|
|
Now run the server in debug mode
|
|
|
|
saned -d
|
|
|
|
On the client side, you need to create a net.conf file in the same directory
|
|
of scanimage.exe: here you have to add a list of valid saned servers.
|
|
Run
|
|
|
|
scanimage -L
|
|
|
|
The output is like this
|
|
|
|
device `umax:b0t3l0' is a UMAX Vista-S8 flatbed scanner
|
|
device `pnm:0' is a Noname PNM file reader virtual device
|
|
device `pnm:1' is a Noname PNM file reader virtual device
|
|
device `net:pippo.intranet:umax:b0t3l0' is a UMAX Vista-S8 flatbed scanner
|
|
device `net:pippo.intranet:pnm:0' is a Noname PNM file reader virtual device
|
|
device `net:pippo.intranet:pnm:1' is a Noname PNM file reader virtual device
|
|
|
|
Then saned will quit. To run it forever, you have to configure the INETD
|
|
daemon: create a \mptn\etc\inetd.lst with the following line
|
|
|
|
sane tcp /rd/sane/sane-1.0.1/frontend/saned.exe
|
|
|
|
Be aware that this configuration shouldn't work: I have been unable to get it
|
|
working on my PC without running saned under the debugger PMGDB.
|
|
The correct syntax for running scanimage over the net is
|
|
|
|
scanimage -d net:HOSTNAME:umax:b0t3l0 > test.pnm
|
|
|
|
where HOSTNAME is a valid DNS host name.
|
|
You can log server access using syslogd: if syslogd is running, saned will
|
|
send to it all messages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
HOW TO COMPILE:
|
|
---------------
|
|
To compile SANE with emx, you need
|
|
|
|
- EMX 0.9D
|
|
- GNU Make 3.75 (rename to make.exe)
|
|
- GNU Patch 2.5
|
|
- KSH 5.2.13 (rename to sh.exe)
|
|
- GNU Bison
|
|
- GNU File utilities
|
|
- GNU SED (stream editor)
|
|
- Autoconf 2.13
|
|
|
|
Steps:
|
|
- untar the original Unix distribution;
|
|
- unzip this file somewhere;
|
|
- copy src\* into sane-1.0.1;
|
|
- enter sane-1.0.1 directory;
|
|
- apply patches to original distribution:
|
|
[...\sane-1.0.1]gnupatch -p 0 < patch.os2
|
|
- run autoconf to rebuild the configure script
|
|
- edit configure and change autoconf default optimization flags;
|
|
search for -O2 -m486 and change to your preferred settings;
|
|
- add the following line after :${LDFLAGS="...."}
|
|
: ${LIBS="-lsocket"}
|
|
- run configure.os2 to build all installation files;
|
|
- add -Zexe to LDFLAGS in frontend\Makefile and tools\Makefile;
|
|
- run make (compiler warnings are ok);
|
|
- wait to complete all makes;
|
|
|
|
Remember to install a Unix like shell in your path; I use ksh.exe
|
|
renamed to sh.exe, and saved in d:\bin
|
|
(that's because most unix scripts uses SHELL=/bin/sh)
|
|
|
|
You need also a compatible dl.a and syslog.a library; look in .\contrib
|
|
for a couple of simple sources.
|
|
|
|
Flags needed under EMX:
|
|
-Zsysv-signals enables signal management as in SystemV, otherwise emx
|
|
convention is used (and it is different from sysv).
|
|
-Zcrtdll link dynamically with EMXLIBCM.DLL;
|
|
|
|
|
|
PARALLEL PORT
|
|
-------------
|
|
This release has support for parallel port enabled: actually only the Epson
|
|
backend makes uses of such support; the Epson GT-300 can be recognized, but
|
|
scanning can't be completed.
|
|
|
|
Also HP-5100C parallel scanner can be run under OS/2: you need to download
|
|
the EPST driver from Shuttle Tech. homepage (www.shuttletech.com); follow the
|
|
instruction for installation. Then the scanner is seen as a scsi HP, so the
|
|
HP backend can work with it.
|
|
|
|
The Quickcam backend is also included with lpt support, but I can't say how it
|
|
is working.
|
|
