[sane-devel] Mustek 1200CP in sane 1.0.8 on SuSE 8.0

[jgeorge at blueyonderl.co.uk]

Hi there,

I'm new to SuSE 8.0 and sane 1.0.8.  I have a Mustek 1200CP scanner which,
I understand, is a CIS scanner.

I understand that it is supported when a patch from Eddy deGreef is applied.

My problems are three-fold.
1) I can't seem to find these patches.
2) I am unable to compile a later version, which does support the Mustek
without patches, because I don't have enough room for the development
tools (GNU Utils etc).
3) The only RPMs I can find are not for SuSE.

Can anyone give me suggestions as to what to do?

Cheers in advance,

Jim George
