Hello SANE hackers:<br>
<p>
Looking at your supported platforms chart, you seem to have no entry for<br>
Solaris 7 (SunOS 5.7). Well, I compiled SANE 1.01 up today on this<br>
platform using gcc 2.8.1. I'm using the HP backend, so I suppose "user<br>
level SCSI support" is "yes", although I had to install the third-party<br>
scg driver mentioned in the README. Shared library and dynamic loading<br>
support is also "yes", because it made its libsane.so to link binaries<br>
against, and then the directory full of other *.so files. (I'm sure this<br>
comes as no surprise since you already had a SPARC compilation do this)<br>
<p>
Regarding the third-party scg driver, at least with the Solaris 7 version,<br>
there didn't seem to be as much a danger of opening up holes into the scsi<br>
devices because the scg driver only seems to make devices specified in its<br>
configuration file. (/kernel/drv/scg.conf) All I did was specify the<br>
correct SCSI target number, and after reboot it created one lone device<br>
for accessing that target.<br>
<p>
I was not able to attempt compilation of xscanimage/xcam, or the GIMP<br>
plugin, because I don't have the right libraries installed, and especially<br>
because I was only looking to get a working 'net' setup going with the<br>
SPARC as the server. I have a Linux PC up with the full suite, and can<br>
use xscanimage just fine from it over the network.<br>
<p>
Thanks for your wonderful product.<br>
<p>
