[sane-devel] Gcc 3.0.x

[Willy Gardiol]

I copuld make sense to add gcc 3.0.x as supported platform because of Epson 
KOWA.
I explain my words. I am using only gcc 3.0.2 so i cannot use a precompiled 
library for 2.95.4.

I would like to use the KOWA Iscan software on my epson 1650photo but i 
cannot because it has a binary only library for gcc 2.95.4. 
I have written to KOWA and they says they will give precompiled for gcc 3 
only after sane will support it.

This seems to me just a way to give an answer, but is there will be written 
on that page "gcc 3.0.x" supported they will have to find a new excuse...

bye!
