[sane-devel] Epson V500 Photo iscan doesn't complile anymore

[Maik Wagner]

Hello everyone,

I am having trouble getting my V500 Photo to run.

Epson does offer some .deb and .rpm-Files and even source code but all 
of these packages are fairly outdated.

Source package is at: http://support.epson.net/linux/src/scanner/iscan/

On Tumbleweed (openSUSE) I am getting the following output:

Can you help out? The support chat didn't seem to understand what I was 
talking about and Epson doesn't seem to have a ticketing system.

Have a good day,
