[sane-devel] Compile Sane from source

[Ismet Bahadir]

Hi All,

I'm trying to compile Sane from source but I'm getting errors. These are the references I follow:


  1.  http://www.sane-project.org/INSTALL.linux

I download the source code but autogen and configure gives error:

  1.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompileSaneFromSource

This reference directs to a wrong source code download page. If I use the previous source, I get the same error.

How can I compile the Sane source on 32 bit Ubuntu?

Thanks
