Hi all, On 10/30 of last year Bruce updated the SANE package and added the parameter --disable-latex to the configure command. There is no reason listed in the Command Explanations why. My tests show that if TeX is installed, the latex procedure does what it is supposed to. If TeX is not installed, no attempt at building docs is done.
Can anyone recall this being discussed, or did you have an issue with this, Bruce? Also, the SANE instructions have a note that the user building the package should be a member of the scanner group. My tests show that the package is installed *exactly the same* if the builder is, or is not, a member of the group. Using the --with-group=scanner is enough to enable locking and the package will also then install /var/lock/sane. All files installed are root:root permissions, so I do not see where the need to be a member of the scanner group is needed to build the package. Again, can anyone recall a discussion about this, or am I just missing something here? Thanks for any help anyone can provide. -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.23] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 10:39:01 up 63 days, 20:38, 1 user, load average: 0.01, 0.01, 0.00 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
