How can I check for sucessful compilations for all SANE-supported platforms?
I've
access only to Linux boxes and Sun Solaris on SPARC machines (they do not
even have PC-style parport). Is there are any possibility for test?
Most important: current version of this backend will work _ONLY_ under
Linux - since it depends on custom linux loadable kernel module. Is it cause
do not include backend to official SANE version? For now (as I know)
sanei_parport still not implemented - how can I make my code totally
independent?
