Hello, Sir! Hope you won't be irritated of my naivety. knoppix@Microknoppix$ scanimage -V scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.22; backend version 1.0.22
Then I did the following after downloading sane-backend from: knoppix@Microknoppix$ git clone git://git.debian.org/sane/sane-backends.git Then I did: knoppix@Microknoppix$ whereis scanimage scanimage: /usr/bin/scanimage /usr/bin/X11/scanimage /usr/local/bin/scanimage /usr/share/man/man1/scanimage.1.gz Then I went inside of the downloaded sane-backend directory and did: knoppix@Microknoppix:~/Downloads/sane-backends$ make && sudo make install make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. I repeated and found the same result even in su. Although there are makefile.in and makefile.am. What do I need to do? I hope I am not irritating you.
