Hello, i'm a newbie here (and even on mailing lists)


I also tried a few days ago to buil SANE 107 on OSX 1.4 and
except for canon (which I commented out temporarily) it seems to build 
and install.

BUT :
if I then try "scanimage --list-devices" it seems to run OK but no 
device is identified (i didn't dreamed of my Apple OneScanner first 
time...), not even the pnm pseudo-device.

there seems to be no pnm library similar to, say, Apple OneScan.

furthermore, although i tried to understand the architecture and build 
process, i'm clueless about the make output :

---------------------------------------------
installing libsane-apple.la in /usr/local/lib/sane...
/usr/bin/install -c .libs/libsane-apple.lai 
/usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-apple.la
/usr/bin/install -c .libs/libsane-apple.a 
/usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-apple.a
ranlib /usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-apple.a
chmod 644 /usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-apple.a

Libraries have been installed in:
    /usr/local/lib/sane

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

Am i missing some step ? Any hint please ?

About managing SCSI, you can find sample code at
http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/Sample_Code/Archive/Devices_and_Hardware/SCSI/SCSI_Inquiry.htm
(old manager)
or
http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/Sample_Code/Devices_and_Hardware/SCSI.htm
(manager 4.3)

They are running in Classic but none of them can see my OneScan.

Regards.
