[sane-devel] Weird behavior in exagear.

[Jeff Sadowski]

Progress. I am now able to scan jpeg files :-)
And test out more of my phpsaneng program.
My preview worked awesome. I was able to watch the image as it was
being scanned.

I redid git as recommended in INSTALL.linux

apt remove sane sane-utils
git clone git://git.debian.org/sane/sane-backends.git
./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib --sysconfdir=/etc
--localstatedir=/var  --enable-avahi
make
make install

it is odd that -V reports as so

root at raspberrypi:~/sane/sane-backends:x86$ scanimage -V
scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.27git; backend version 1.0.24

Is this something I should be worried about?
Where would it be getting 1.0.24
I tried removing all sane files I could find and then
make install from my git repo and I still get the same output.


Now to try and get saned working
saned use to at least connect to the port but now I get nothing

root at raspberrypi:~/sane/sane-backends:x86$ saned -d128
root at raspberrypi:~/sane/sane-backends:x86$

root at raspberrypi:~/sane/sane-backends:x86$ saned -d128 -b 192.168.1.27
root at raspberrypi:~/sane/sane-backends:x86$

any suggestions on how to get it to report more?
maybe a compile flag to get something from it?
