sane-backends-1.0.11-5mdk.ppc.rpm

SANE and NetBSD
----------------

Building:
---------
Don't forget to use GNU make (gmake). E.g. "MAKE=gmake ./configure". 
SANE should compile and install out-of-the-box. Since SANE 1.0.8 shared
libraries are working again.

SCSI-scanners:
--------------
If the SCSI host adapter is supported, there are no known problems. Try
sane-find-scanner to find out the correct device and edit the backend's
configuration file appropriately or set a link /dev/scanner to the device
file. Auto-configuration using the "scsi *" lines in the config files
doesn't work.

USB-scanners:
-------------
USB-Scanners are supported in principle. Access over libusb is tested. It's
unknown, if a kernel usb scanner driver works.

Make sure that the kernel is NOT compiled with DIAGNOSTIC. Disable it in the
config file or use a GENERIC kernel without DIAGNOSTIC. If it is, you will get
errors like "ugenioctl: USB_SET_TIMEOUT, no pipe". Make sure, that /dev/ugen*
and /dev/usb* devices are available. Use /dev/MAKEDEV to create them, if
necessary.

Parport-scanners:
-----------------
I don't have any information about these. Please contact me or the SANE mailing
list if you succeded in using one of these.
