How to configure, build, and install SANE-FRONTENDS. Quick install: ============== ./configure make make install - You must install the sane-backends package before you can configure this package. If you use pre-compiled binaries (e.g. from your distribution) you will also have to install the SANE headers (maybe in a package called sane-devel or similar). - For xscanimage and xcam you need the X Window libraries and headers. Further more GTK version 0.99.13 (or above) must be installed together with its header files. GTK can be found at http://www.gtk.org/. - If you want to use xscanimage as a GIMP plug-in, the GIMP libraries and headers are necessary. See http://www.gimp.org/. - If you get an error message that libsane-dll.so.1 or libsane-so.1 is not found, you have to tell your system where the SANE-libraries are installed. - On some systems the library directory "/usr/local/lib" is not searched by the system's dynamic library loader. If SANE is installed in "/usr/local/..." you have to tell your systems dynamic library loader to search in "/usr/local/lib". For Linux: add the path "/usr/local/lib" to /etc/ld.so.conf and call ldconfig (as root). - ONLY for For sane-1.0.1: You have to add a line with the path to the directory conatining the SANE libraries (usually /usr/local/lib/sane) to /etc/ld.so.conf and call ldconfig (as root). Don't do this for sane-1.0.2 and later. See also the PROBLEMS file. Uninstall ========= To uninstall the binaries and manual pages, type `make uninstall´.
