UNIXWARE PORT of SANE - HOWTO build and what you need to run

You need a sane SCSI driver to run SANE on Unixware 2.x. There is at
least one such driver: the sane driver by R=I+S.

The Unixware sane driver is a binary loadable module driver for UW2.x.
Please send Email to wolfgang@rapp-informatik.de to receive.

What you need to build xane on Unixware 2.x
- gnu make

You don't need gcc. All is build with the standard Unixware cc and
libs!!

For the X-frontends xscanimage and xsane (separately distributed) you need
libs like libgtk libgimp and the image libs for jpeg, tiff and png.  It is
also good to have gettext with libintl installed.  Most of the libs are
available on the Skunkware CD's from SCO in pkgadd format.  If you build the
frontends with this libs gimp plugin is also supported by xscanimage and
xsane. Latest xsane version tested was 0.48.

With the following configure should run an build shared libs with
libtool 1.3.4

LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/local/lib CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include -I/isr/X/include" CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/X/include
-I/usr/ucbinclude -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/ucblib -l ucb" LIBS="-lsocket -lnsl -lgen -I/opt/include -L/usr/ucblib -lucb" ./configure

After running configure you have to edit the generated file libtool

Append to the line
archive_cmds="\$LD -G -o \$lib \$libobjs \$deplibs \$linkopts

so that it looks like this.
archive_cmds="\$LD -G -o \$lib \$libobjs \$deplibs \$linkopts -B bind_now -L/usr/local/lib -lintl -L/usr/ucblib -lucb -lm"

This is a must to link the libucb.a , libintl.a in when the sane libs
are build.It's also necessary for mathematic lib -lm .  Not doing this
will bring runtime errors like missimg usleep or pow function.

ATTENTION:!!! libucb.a of Unixware 2.x has a buggy readdir function so
it is recommended to remove readdir.o from libucb.a with ar -d
readdir.o libucb.a Often used and needed functions from libucb.a are
strncasecmp or getpagesize.

If you use -I/usr/ucbinclude it is also a good idea to move
/usr/ucbinlcude/unistd.h to another file, because it will be included
first and some sources will not compile.

Then you can run make with GNU make.

After this say su and then it's good to say
LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/local/lib export LD_RUN_PATH

after this you can install with
make install

Tested on Unixware 2.0.x with Umax Astra 1220S and HP C5100A with
sane-1.0.1.  With Microtek backend earlier on sane-0.74.

If you use the net backend you do not need the Unixware sanedrv.

The driver is a shareware product.

The driver is supplied binary in pkgadd(1m) format and is tested from
UW2.0x.  Please send Email to wolfgang@rapp-informatik.de to get the
driver in binary pkgadd package.

To install it on a Unixware do:

        cd /tmp
        get sanedrv.pkg.tgz
        gunzip sanedrv.pkg.tgz
        tar xvf sanedrv.pkg.tar
as root:
        pkgadd -d /tmp/sanedrv

Once the driver is installed, there should be a device nodes /dev/sane
and /dev/scanner /dev/scanner1 for the second, and so on...)

The scanner my be connected to any SCSI controller in the system, also
if you have additional devices like disks or cdroms on the same
controller.  The UW2.x sane driver do not block the controller. The
scanner must be switched on to be recognized by UW, if the low level
driver p.e. adsl is loaded.

To configure an UMAX scanner, configuration file
/usr/local/etc/sane.d/umax.conf might contain:

        /dev/scanner

The driver is configured to recognice all scsi scanners with ID
SCANNER and all HP Scsi scanners with ID Processor and Inquiry string
starting with "HP" string. For details have a look to
/etc/conf/pack.d/sane/space.c.

If you change this then you must unload the sane driver modadmin -U
sane, build the new module by /etc/conf/bin/idbuild -M sane and the
install the driver with modadmin -l sane.
