[sane-devel] Install problem with fi-4120C2 under FreeBSD and OS X 10.4.2

[Darrell Styner]

That made it work. I'm now able to scan both single pages and in  
batch mode using scanimage. A remaining problem is that scanimage -L  
seems to take a long time (about 30 secs.) to return the name of my  
device. Is that normal? I wouldn't care but I think it's causing lots  
of delays in xsane. Xsane has other problems with the scanner as well  
(can't acquire a preview, frequent timeouts, etc.) but I'll wait to  
document those until I'm sure everything's working from scanimage.

BTW, "make" didn't recognize the change to fujitsu.c so I had to do a  
"make clean" to get it to recompile the backend. Is there an easier  
way to get make to recompile just the one changed file and rebuild  
the lib?

Thanks for the help,
