The README ;-)  Seriously though, the sane-backends build process is
orchestrated via autoconf and automake so a simple

  ./configure
  make
  make install

gets you most of the way.  The parts you want to tweak are the options
to ./configure (see ./configure --help), which backends to build (also
controlled via ./configure options and probably divert the files to be
installed someplace else for packaging purposes.

The latter can be done like so

  make install DESTDIR=/path/to/temporary/installation/directory

Hope this helps,
