Looks like a problem in epson_scsi.h (or to be more exact in epson_scsi.c): | In file included from epson_scsi.c:7: | ../include/sane/sanei_scsi.h:68: error: syntax error before "u_char" | ../include/sane/sanei_scsi.h:69: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype The problem is simple: u_char is used but not defined. While it is in sys/types.h on modern systems it may not be on older systems. Even with newer systems, some teaks may be necessary (e.g. GNU_SOURCE). So the fix is simple: Swap the following lines in epson_scsi.c: | #include <string.h> /* for memset and memcpy */ | #include "../include/sane/config.h" config.h must be the first include file in any SANE file (but the #ifdef AIX workaround). Another work-around for this type of problem is to use "configure --disable-warnings". Bye, Henning
