E.g. "MAKE=gmake ./configure". +SANE should compile and install out-of-the-box. + +If you've installed some of the optional libraries that sane-backends +can make use of (see README for list) using Ports then you will need to +let configure know about their locations: + +MAKE=gmake CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib ./configure + +SCSI-scanners: +-------------- +If the SCSI host adapter is supported, there are no known problems. + +USB-scanners: +------------- +USB-Scanners are supported by FreeBSD. The USB scanner driver "uscanner" and +access over libusb can be used. + +For some backends (e.g. gt68xx) you MUST use libusb. The uscanner driver won't +work because it doesn't support control messages or interrupt endpoints. + +If you want to use libusb, your scanner should *not* be claimed by the uscanner +driver. Make sure, that /dev/ugen* and /dev/usb* devices are available. Use +/dev/MAKEDEV to create them, if necessary. Make sure that the user has write +access to the appropriate device files. + +To get your scanner detected by the uscanner driver, it may be necessary to add +its vendor and device ids to the kernel and recompile. Use MAKEDEV to generate +the /dev/uscanner* files if they are not already there. Use sane-find-scanner to +find your scanner. scanimage -L should find it automatically. Make sure that the +user has read access to /dev/usb* and read and write access to /dev/uscanner*. + +Parport-scanners: +----------------- +I don't have much information about these. The Mustek 600 II N scanner seems to +work, others may or may not work. Please contact me or the SANE mailing list if +you succeeded in using a parport scanner. + +2005-11-01 Henning Meier-Geinitz -- cgit v1.2.3
