[sane-devel] Can't build SANE on Ubuntu Feisty 7.04

[m. allan noah]

i can confirm this issue- it seems that lib/liblib.a is empty- the
command used to create it:

ar cru liblib.a
ranlib liblib.a

should probably be:

ar cru liblib.a .libs/*
ranlib liblib.a

and sanei/libsanei.a is also empty

ar cru libsanei.a
ranlib libsanei.a

should be:

ar cru libsanei.a .libs/*
ranlib libsanei.a

this is on a fedora core 6 box that has successfully built sane many
times, until a recent cvs up && make clean && ./configure

if you run those repaired commands manually from the right dir, your
build should succeed.

any libtool experts out there?
