I had a look at the trunk/backend location and there are 3 subdirectories there: Avision. c .conf .h Referring to te extracted files from 1.0.18 in the temporary Backend Folder there are the same named files but avision.conf is in the extracted files as avision.conf.in I assume I copy the trunk/backend files into the Backend folder of the temp directory, but what about the avision.conf.in?

I have that driver. When installed (under gentoo) the line hpaio is appended to /etc/sane.d/dll.conf > For example see > http://hplip.sourceforge.net/troubleshooting/network.html This talks about general connectivity and printing.

You are certainly correct that I am likely in error messing with net since that is for a server. I just read a few more docs (thanks for the reference) and they all refer to a scanner that is attached (often via usb) to a host. However, in my case the scanner *is* the host. That is, the hp7310 is a network device. The hp7130 has a url on our lan (namely 192.168.1.50). I can ping that url, I can print to it (via cups), but I guess my question is "How do I tell the scan client that the scanner is a network device with address 192.168.1.50?" Thanks, allan

hmm, no offsetof macro in mingw's c lib? or maybe the correct header is not included on mingw build (usually stddef.h)? if you cant find it, you could try adding this to sanei-scsi.h #define offsetof(TYPE, MEMBER) ((size_t) & (((TYPE*) 0)->MEMBER)) just to see if that works. allan On 6/5/07, Hugh McMaster wrote: > Hi Allan, > > On 04/06/07, m. allan noah wrote: > > platform/compiler/clibrary version info? > > Platform: MinGW (from Cygwin) > Compiler: GCC 3.4.4 > > I'm not sure what you mean by C library version. > > Hugh > > > On 6/4/07, Hugh McMaster wrote: > > > Hi everyone, > > > > > > I am trying to compile Sane, and everything is working, until the > > > compiler exits during the 'make' process with: > > > > > > sanei_scsi.c: In function `sanei_scsi_open': > > > sanei_scsi.c:1220: warning: assignment makes integer from pointer without > > > a cast > > > sanei_scsi.c:1222: warning: comparison between pointer and integer > > > sanei_scsi.c:855: warning: unused variable `real_dev' > > > sanei_scsi.c: In function `sanei_scsi_close': > > > sanei_scsi.c:1572: warning: passing arg 1 of `CloseHandle' makes > > > pointer from integer without a cast > > > sanei_scsi.c: In function `sanei_scsi_cmd2': > > > sanei_scsi.c:4755: warning: assignment discards qualifiers from > > > pointer target type > > > sanei_scsi.c:4763: warning: implicit declaration of function `offsetof' > > > sanei_scsi.c:4763: error: parse error before "struct" > > > sanei_scsi.c:4770: warning: passing arg 1 of `DeviceIoControl' makes > > > pointer from integer without a cast > > > sanei_scsi.c: At top level: > > > sanei_scsi.c:5833: warning: unused parameter 'fd' > > > sanei_scsi.c:5824: warning: unused parameter 'id' > > > sanei_scsi.c:5819: warning: unused parameter 'idp' > > > sanei_scsi.c:4809: warning: unused parameter 'findtype' > > > > > > I'm not worried about the unused parameters, as those often come up > > > during compiling of any sources.
