If anyone's interested, I have successfully compiled xscanimage and
scanimage using cygwin32. Of course I
only bothered with the net backend (pnm works too and a lot of the other
stuff compiled but I didn't test
it) and you'll need an X Server for xscanimage (not too sure what the
advantage of this is over exporting your DISPLAY, except that the file
writes are local). I also ported xscanimage to mingw32 using winsock and
gtkwin32 to give a real native Windows client. The only bit that doesn't
work this way is non-blocking IO.
The reason I did this was so that I could control the scanner connected
to my Linux box in the upstairs back bedroom from the Win98 laptop in my
lounge. It works very well apart from the fact that I have to go
upstairs
to change the photographs. Now if I could just train the cat....
