I've tested the 20000213 snapshot on my Unixware 7.1.1 system. It built
out of the box after I've compiled the rev utility and added it to the
system.
The sanity checks I've done indicate that everything works fine. I've
tried an HP Scanjet 6250 and a UMAX Vista S6E (both connected locally) and
an Epson GT-7000 (over the network). Gimp support is ok, too.
I've written a README.unixware7 with a couple of notes which is attached
to this mail. Could someone with write access add this file to the CVS
repository, please? Thanks!

SANE on UnixWare 7
==================
The easiest way to get SANE working on a UnixWare 7.1.X system (UW 7.0.0
and 7.0.1 are not supported) is to download and install the SANE binary
distribution from SCOs Skunkware web site. The URL is:
ftp://ftp.sco.com/skunkware/uw7/Packages
Use the pkgadd command to install the files, e.g.:
# pkgadd -d `pwd`/sane-1.0.2.pkg
A web page with further information specific to SANE on UnixWare 7 can be
found here:
http://www.sco.com/skunkware/sane/index.html
However, please note that the SANE package that is available from the
Skunkware server will most likely contain the latest stable version of
SANE. Since SANE is continously being worked on, you might want to download
the latest source from the CVS repository and build the source yourself.
To build SANE on a UnixWare 7.1.X system the following packages are required:
* make (GNU make)
* glibs (contains gtk, glib, libjpeg, libpnm, libtiff etc.)
The packages can be downloaded from the Skunkware ftp server (see URL above).
I've used the following versions to build sane-1.0.2:
* make-3.78.1.pkg
* glibs-2.0.3.pkg
If you want to include support for The Gimp (this is optional), you need to
install the gimp package, too. This is the version I've used:
* gimp-1.0.4.pkg
GCC is not required. SANE compiles quite happily (and faster) with UnixWares
native C compiler.
You also need a utility called 'rev' which isn't part of UnixWare 7. This
tool is used by the backend Makefile to give the SANE libraries in their
target locations the proper names. You can find the rev source at the end
of the README.unixware2 file. Save the code as rev.c, compile it and copy
the binary to a location that is in your $PATH, e.g. /usr/local/bin:
(save code as rev.c)
# cc -o rev rev.c
# cp rev.c /usr/local/bin
Set the LD_RUN_PATH variable to add /usr/local/lib to the list of directories
to be searched by the dynamic linker:
$ LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/local/lib
$ export LD_RUN_PATH
Run the configure script as following:
$ LIBS="-lsdi" ./configure
(The sdi library contains the SCSI passthrough functions the UW7 port of SANE
uses to access the scanner from user space.)
Run gmake to build SANE:
$ gmake
SCSI access from user space requires special privileges. If you want users
without root perms to be able to use the scanner you can use the filepriv
command to change the privileges that are associated with the SANE
applications:
# /sbin/filepriv -f driver -f sysops /usr/local/bin/scanimage
# /sbin/filepriv -f driver -f sysops /usr/local/bin/xscanimage
# /sbin/filepriv -f sysops /usr/local/bin/xcam
If you have built SANE with support for The Gimp you might want to create
a symlink from the plug-in directory to the xscanimage and xcam binaries,
e.g.:
# ln -s /usr/local/bin/xscanimage \
/usr/local/lib/gimp/1.0/plug-ins/xscanimage
# ln -s /usr/local/bin/xcam /usr/local/lib/gimp/1.0/plug-ins/xcam
