[sane-devel] Support for CanoScan 9000F and others: splitting pixma_mp150.c into two drivers

[Olaf Zevenboom]

I have the same problem on the Debian Stable 64 bit. The problem is likely within the script:
/bin/bash ../mkinstalldirs -m 775 -g uucp /usr/local/var/lock/sane
Usage: mkinstalldirs [-h] [--help] [--version] [-m MODE] DIR ...
Both the help info (./mkinstalldit --help) and looking inside the script does not make clear that "-g uucp" is allowed as a parameter. Besides -m only directories are.
RegardsOlaf

I am having trouble compiling the development version of SANE now,
unfortunately, straight from the repository.

System:
32-bit Debian unstable
installed version of SANE: 1.0.2

I do the following as root:

cd ~/src
git clone git://git.debian.org/sane/sane-backends.git
cd sane-backends
autoconf
automake
BACKENDS="pixma epson2" ./configure
make
make install

Everything up to and including "make" seems to end perfectly.
Unfortunately, make install fails. Here is the last part of the
output:

...

Create each directory DIR (with mode MODE, if specified), including all
leading file name components.

I don't see an explicit reason given (such as permissions missing).
Searching for comments regarding the actual error line yields no
recent results (an error like this apparently existed in 1.0.20 in
2009 for some gentoo users, according to search results).

Any pointers much appreciated.

I wonder if there is
