User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/xsane
Install XSane by running the following commands:
sed -i -e 's/netscape/xdg-open/' src/xsane.h && sed -i -e 's/png_ptr->jmpbuf/png_jmpbuf(png_ptr)/' src/xsane-save.c && ./configure --prefix=/usr && make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
make xsanedocdir=/usr/share/doc/xsane-0.998 install && ln -v -s ../../doc/xsane-0.998 /usr/share/sane/xsane/doc && ln -v -s <browser> /usr/bin/netscape
![[Note]](../images/note.png)
Be sure to replace <browser> with the browser of your choice on your system.
If GIMP is installed, issue the
following command as the root user:
ln -v -s /usr/bin/xsane /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/
ln -v -s ../../doc/xsane-0.998 /usr/share/sane/xsane/doc: This symlink is created to ensure that any program that looks for the XSane documentation in the default location will find it, as the documentation is installed in an alternate location specified in the make install command.
ln -v -s /usr/bin/xsane
/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/: This creates a link in
the system-wide GIMP plug-ins directory so that users can access
XSane directly from GIMP. GIMP
must be available before building XSane for this to work. Alternatively, create
the link in ~/.gimp-2.0/plug-ins/ to
provide individual user access. man
xsane for additional information.
