Looking at your supported platforms chart, you seem to have no entry for
Solaris 7 (SunOS 5.7). Well, I compiled SANE 1.01 up today on this
platform using gcc 2.8.1. I'm using the HP backend, so I suppose "user
level SCSI support" is "yes", although I had to install the third-party
scg driver mentioned in the README. Shared library and dynamic loading
support is also "yes", because it made its libsane.so to link binaries
against, and then the directory full of other *.so files. (I'm sure this
comes as no surprise since you already had a SPARC compilation do this)
Regarding the third-party scg driver, at least with the Solaris 7 version,
there didn't seem to be as much a danger of opening up holes into the scsi
devices because the scg driver only seems to make devices specified in its
configuration file. (/kernel/drv/scg.conf) All I did was specify the
correct SCSI target number, and after reboot it created one lone device
for accessing that target.
I was not able to attempt compilation of xscanimage/xcam, or the GIMP
plugin, because I don't have the right libraries installed, and especially
because I was only looking to get a working 'net' setup going with the
SPARC as the server. I have a Linux PC up with the full suite, and can
use xscanimage just fine from it over the network.
Thanks for your wonderful product.
