[sane-devel] Compilation error on Compaq Tru64

[Henning Meier-Geinitz]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile sane-backends-1.0.9 on some of the HP test
machines (see http://testdrive.hp.com/). Until now, the tests were
rather successful. Compilation works on:

Linux 2.4/Alpha/gcc 2.95.4
Linux 2.4/IA64/gcc 2.96
FreeBSD 4.7/Alpha/gcc 2.95.4
NetBSD 1.6/Alpha/gcc 2.95.3

HP-UX 11.22/IA64/HP cc also works, but for some reason, the sane-config
    script isn't executable, so the configuration of sane-frontends
    fails.
    
Tru64 Unix 5.1A/Alpha/cc:
    Compilation results in:

Looks like cc can't handle its own include file? Anyone any ideas?

The OpenBSD/Alpha and Linux/parisc testdrives doesn't seem to work
currently. I'll send an update for the platforms page later.

Bye,
