That's interesting: I just had the same experience with yesterday's CVS snapshot (12 June), trying to test dell1600n_net on WinXP/cygwin. The problem first shows up in some build messages which appear to come from libtool saying that a compatible version of phtreads could not be found to link dynamically and so only a static version of the backend would be built. The dll backend clearly can't load this! I will try to dig deeper this evening. On a different note, when i unpacked the snapshot and just did "./configure && make" it failed to compile like: coolscan.c: In function `attach_scanner': coolscan.c:2096: warning: implicit declaration of function `strdup' coolscan.c:2096: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast coolscan.c: In function `reader_process': coolscan.c:2574: warning: implicit declaration of function `fdopen' coolscan.c:2574: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast coolscan.c:2593: error: structure has no member named `sa_handler' make[1]: *** [coolscan.lo] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/c/downloads/sane-backends/backend' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 I'm not at home now so I can't tell you the exact version of gcc but it is whatever is the newest cygwin version. (I updated cygwin before starting.) I got around this by just compiling the backends I needed but I guess this should be addressed prior to the release. cheers, Jon ====================== Jon Chambers ===================== http://www.jon.demon.co.uk, 020 8575 7097, 07931 961669 =========================================================
