Bug 4207 – libieee1284 required for sane-backends-1.0.8

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Troy Dack 2002-06-26 18:30:06 UTC]

To build support for all of the scanners that sane-backends has it requires
libieee1284 (this is required for the canon_pp driver at least).

libieee1284 can be found at the url above.

I tried to make an ebuild for libieee1284, but it keeps borking on sgml -> man
page stuff and I really have no idea what it going on.

TaD, attach your ebuild anyway.  It's an SGML tools or sgmltools-lite or
something dependency.  I'll patch your ebuild to make it work, if you could
submit it, though.

non-working ebuild for libieee1284-0.1.6

This ebuild fails for me with the following error:

docbook2man -o doc doc/interface.sgml

And it probably requires numerous other tweaks.

That was an easy enough fix.  The docbook-sgml stuff still seems to error a
little bit, but it's non-fatal.

and sane-backends looks like it creates a canon driver.
