Subject: [sane-devel] USB scanners DO work on Solaris 10 x86
|

I would like to inform you, that I have compiled SANE on Sun Solaris 10 x86
|
|
with built-in USB scanner support. It was possible, because Sun had prepared
|
|
libusb library wrapper for Solaris 10. I know, that Solaris 10 Software
|
|
Express Release 08/04 is required. I have done it in that way:
|
|
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/sfw/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
|
|
CFLAGS="-I/usr/sfw/include"
|
|
CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/sfw/include"
|
|
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/sfw/lib -R/usr/sfw/lib -lusb"
|
|
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH CFLAGS CPPFLAGS LDFLAGS
|
|
./configure --prefix=/opt/sane --disable-fork-process
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
It was also required to add a generic USB kernel driver. I had to look for
|
|
my scanner device name in output of
|
|
prtconf -D -v
|
|
command. My scanner is Plustek UT24 and the apropriate part of output looked
|
|
like this:
|
|
name='compatible' type=string items=8 value='usb7b3,17.100' + ...
|
|
I had to remove the not used kernel driver
|
|
rem_drv ugen
|
|
And add it again:
|
|
add_drv -i 'usb7b3,17.100' ugen
|
|
Then, /opt/sane/bin/sane-find-scanner detected my scanner and everything
|
|
worked fine. I to add " " signs around usb7b3,17.100 name in
|
|
/etc/driver_aliases to have the scanner working after reboot.
|
|
To compile this packages SUNWlibusb and SUNWlibusbugen were needed. I used
|
|
Solaris Software Companion CD gcc 2.95.3 compiler and Sun's /usr/ccs/bin/ld
|
|
linker. USB support DOES NOT work in Solaris 9 and earlier versions.
|
|
I hope, that this information would be useful for other USB scanner users.

Sun in Driver Development Kit v. 0.9 writes how to compile SANE, but it does not
|
|
really work :) They write about compiling with gcc and give options for Sun
|
|
Forte compiler (cc) and forget about attaching a kernel driver. But they write,
|
|
that versions earlier than 1.0.14 cannot be used. They want also to build SANE
|
|
with Posix threads enabled. So I think that can be true. Sun writes also, that
|
|
Solaris Software Express release at least S10_62 is needed to use
|
|
libusb. Release number can be checked in /etc/release. The newest version can be
|
|
downloaded from www.sun.com/solaris for free.
|
|
|
|
In my opinion it is important to be cautious when using scanner or just libusb
|
|
on important Solaris machines (especially multi-processor ones), because unlike
|
|
in other systems, Solaris kernel is fully preemtible, what means, that many
|
|
instances of the same driver can ran simultanously - it's dangerous, when
|
|
drivers are not perfect. And Solaris USB framework is absolutely new, so it can
|
|
contain bugs. I tried to crash my Solaris using USB subsystem and SANE, I didn't
|
|
manage to, but it doesn't mean, it's impossible.
|
|
|
|
SANE frontends work without any problems with Xsun and GIMP included in Solaris
|
|
Software Companion CD.

The following text describes, how to use a SCSI scanner (2002-06-11).
|
|
|
|
You need a generic SCSI driver to run SANE on Solaris. There are at
|
|
least three such drivers: the scg driver by Joerg Schillig, the
|
|
sg driver by Kevin Sheehan, and starting with Solaris 8 Sun's own
|
|
sgen(7D) driver.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: You should install the SCSI generic driver BEFORE you run
|
|
`configure' in the sane directory---otherwise configure won't set up
|
|
SANE to work with the generic scsi driver.
|
|
|
|
*** scg driver
|
|
|
|
The SCSI general driver scg is
|
|
|
|
Copyright 1986-1995 Joerg Schilling,
|
|
|
|
It is supplied binary in pkgadd(1m) format and is tested from Solaris
|
|
2.3 to Solaris 2.6 (sparc) and Solaris 2.3 to Solaris 2.5.1 (x86). It
|
|
can be found in
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/kernel/scg/
|
|
|
|
To install it on a SPARC do:
|
|
|
|
cd /tmp
|
|
get SCHILYscg.sparc.tar.Z
|
|
uncompress SCHILYscg.sparc.tar.Z
|
|
tar -xvf SCHILYscg.sparc.tar
|
|
as root:
|
|
pkgadd -d .
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Be very careful with pkgadd as it does not check for the correct
|
|
target architecture. Do not install drivers for x86 on sparc
|
|
and vice versa. You will get a corrupt system otherwise.
|
|
|
|
For Solaris on an x86 do:
|
|
|
|
cd /tmp
|
|
get SCHILYscg.i386.tar.Z
|
|
uncompress SCHILYscg.i386.tar.Z
|
|
tar -xvf SCHILYscg.i386.tar
|
|
as root:
|
|
pkgadd -d .
|
|
|
|
Then do a reboot --r
|
|
|
|
Once the system has rebooted, there should be a device node /dev/scgXX
|
|
for each of your SCSI adapters (/dev/scg0 for the first adapter,
|
|
/dev/scg1 for the second, and so on...)
|
|
|
|
Because the device name specifies a SCSI adapter, you need to use a
|
|
special device naming syntax so SANE can tell which device you want to
|
|
talk to. If the device is at SCSI id 0, the character 'a' should be
|
|
appended, character 'b' should be used for SCSI id 1, and so on
|
|
(see also the Solaris section in sane-scsi(5)).
|
|
|
|
E.g., to configure an HP scanner, configuration file
|
|
/opt/local/etc/sane.d/hp.conf might contain:
|
|
|
|
/dev/scg0c if the scanner has the SCSI target id 2
|
|
|
|
WARNING! Everybody who can read/write a generic SCSI device can do
|
|
with all your disks whatever he/she wants. It takes only a few lines
|
|
of code to send a FORMAT control block... Rather than giving users
|
|
access to the SCSI adapter special device, it may be a better idea to
|
|
install scanimage/xscanimage setgid to a special "scanner" group and
|
|
then turn on write permission for the scanner group.
|
|
|
|
*** sg driver
|
|
|
|
Another solution to the permission problem is to use the generic SCSI
|
|
driver sg by Kevin Sheehan. This driver is not free but uses separate
|
|
device node for each SCSI target:
|
|
|
|
/dev/sg/0, /dev/sg/1, ...
|
|
|
|
This allows to control device access on a per-device basis.
|
|
|
|
*** sgen driver
|
|
|
|
The solaris 8 sgen driver must be configured before it can be used.
|
|
See /kernel/drv/sgen.conf and the manual page sgen(7D).
|
|
|
|
The minimal config includes defining the correct
|
|
"device-type-config-list" property in /kernel/drv/sgen.conf. The
|
|
typical SCSI device type for a scanner is either "scanner" or
|
|
"processor". You can optionally restrict the devices sgen attaches to,
|
|
by defining the "inquiry-config-list" property. You also have to
|
|
uncomment the scanner's "target/lun" entry, so that the sgen driver is
|
|
allowed to attach to the SCSI scanner hardware.
|
|
|
|
After the configuration file /kernel/drv/sgen.conf is set up for the
|
|
scanner, run the command "devfsadm -v -i sgen" to create sgen device
|
|
nodes for the scanner. In case you need to rerun devfsadm to
|
|
incorporate changes to the sgen.conf file, make sure the sgen driver
|
|
is unloaded from the kernel before you re-run devfsadm. The driver is
|
|
unloaded using the "modunload -i {id}" command; the {id} of the sgen
|
|
driver can be determined with the modinfo command.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The device nodes use names of the following form:
|
|
|
|
/dev/scsi/device-type/cXtXdX
|
|
|
|
Example: A HP Scanjet 4c (SCSI device type: "processor") on controller
|
|
#1, target #6, lun #0 uses the device name
|
|
|
|
/dev/scsi/processor/c1t6d0
|
|
|
|
/kernel/drv/sgen.conf contains:
|
|
|
|
device-type-config-list="processor";
|
|
name="sgen" class="scsi" target=6 lun=0;
|
|
|
|
|
