The patches below are all (?) that is required to compile and pass<br>
initial tests on FreeBSD 2.2.5 with gtk 0.99.9 and gimp 0.99.23.<br>
<p>
I haven't had time to test on FreeBSD 2.2.6 or 3.0 yet, but I'd be<br>
surprised if the result is any different.<br>
<p>
<p>
Question 0:<br>
<p>
Is the entire build supposed to pass without any compiler warnings?<br>
If so, there are a few things that could be improved:<br>
<p>
 - getopt.c does not include headers to get declarations of getpid()<br>
   and strdup().  Well, it sort of does, but there are enough #ifdefs<br>
   to make sure it does not happen.  But I guess this file is simply<br>
   grabbed out of GNU libs, and should not be changed.  No big deal.<br>
<p>
 - sane provides strndup() for systems that does not have it, but<br>
   fails to declare it anywhere.  It could be done in config.h, which<br>
   would require to include &lt;sys/types.h&gt; somewhere too (to get size_t).<br>
<p>
<p>
Question 1:<br>
<p>
Is it necessary to keep all the loadable backends in the standard<br>
library path?  I'm getting an uneasy feeling when sane singlehandedly<br>
doubles the number of entries in my /usr/local/lib, with something<br>
that could be considered as internal to sane.<br>
<p>
Am I missing something, or could they be moved to (for example)<br>
/usr/local/lib/sane/?  Aren't the backends just dlopen()ed?<br>
<p>
<p>
Patch 0:<br>
<p>
The test for libgimp/gimp.h does not use CFLAGS, which are updated to<br>
contain the X11 include directory.  It uses CPPFLAGS.  This way gimp.h<br>
is located automagically in case gimp is in /usr/X11R6 or so.<br>
<p>
Maybe CFLAGS and CPPFLAGS should be restored further down, as the<br>
comment suggests (but which never happens).<br>
