[sane-devel] Introduction to backends, hello world!

[Andrew Chan]

Hi all! I'm new to C development coming from a web dev bootcamp background.

I picked up a Canon CanoScan LiDE 90 for $10 thinking it would be a plug
and play scanning solution like most of the LiDE series but unfortunately
it's one of the few without support. With so many related models supported
I was hoping this might be a good opportunity to learn how to write a
driver and prevent more plastic from going to landfill.

I've cloned and forked the backends repo but am failing running autogen.sh
and I don't understand the errors. I've attached the stderr output if
anyone can help point me in the right direction. My /proc/version is Linux
version 5.3.0-51-generic (buildd at lgw01-amd64-018) (gcc version 7.5.0
(Ubuntu 7.5.0-3ubuntu1~18.04)) #44~18.04.2-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 23 14:27:18
UTC 2020.
