[sane-devel] backend for canoscan5200f and configure.in

[Umut Emin]

Hello,

i want to develop the sane backend driver for CanoScan5200f.
I have read the backend-writing.txt and I have downloaded/compiled the
sane code from git repos (anonymous access). Now i can't find any
ALL_BACKENDS variable in configure.in as mentioned in
backend-writing.txt.

from "backend-writing.txt"
 - add the backend name to ALL_BACKENDS in configure.in (and run
autoreconf)

 Second, i'd like to do a autoreconf -i -f, but it fails with 
aclocal-1.10: acinclude.m4:606: file `m4/libtool.m4' does not exist
autoreconf-2.63: aclocal failed with exit status: 1

Do i need to have a "developer" access to git repos to get the
appropriate configure.in? Is also the configure.ac file accessable?

And by the way, are there any documentations on step-by-step backend
development?

Many thanks,
Umut
