Building on Debian is straightforward. 1) Get the build dependencies: sudo apt build-dep libsane1 2) Clone the backends repo: git clone https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends.git 3) Build: cd backends ./autogen.sh ./configure ./make ./make install This will install to /usr/local, but you can use --prefix={dir} to set a different target, perhaps in your home directory. That's what I do. Cheers, Ralph
