SANE on Cygwin/Win32
Prerequisites
=============
To be able to compile sane-backends, you need to have Cygwin installed, with at least the following package(s):
- gcc
You can get Cygwin at http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
The scanner must be detected by Windows and not be disabled. Check
with the hardware manager.
Scanning
========
If you have more than one scanner, you should do the following:
- run sane-find-scanner to get the device name of the scanner. The
name is something like h0b0t6l0, meaning hba 0, bus 0, scsi id 6 and
lun 0.
- edit the config file for the backend
(/usr/local/etc/sane.d/xxxx.conf) and add the scanner device name on
an empty line.
Run "scanimage > out.pnm" to get a scan.
xscanimage and XSane also work. xscanimage compiles and runs out of
the box. XSane 0.92 needs a couple build fixes.
Limitations
===========
The current annoying limitations are:
- Only SCSI scanners will work. No USB/FireWire/Parallel.
- Tested on Windows 2000 only. Should work on Windows NT/XP too;
may or may not work on Windows 95/98/ME.
Note: there is a Cygwin libusb port (http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb-win32) so USB scanners might work too.
