xsane.scm missing wbar icon

<< < (2/2)

Jason W:
My report of success was premature, it seems that /usr/local/etc/sane.d files are hardcoded into the binaries.  And that those files were mistakenly present in /usr/local when I tested the extension.

No real loss, but I will have to pull it.

I got same conclusion, only way to fix it is clean xsane backend source code. That is unfortunately BAD code, very bad.

Volunteers?

Yleisajattelija:
Reason for that hardcoding seems to be binary-only drivers. Some manufacturer provides only binary drivers and it IS possible, that driver itself refers bare "/usr" directory -> porting problems for TC cannot be solved.

I try to find out is this the situation, or is there some work-around to solve this problem.

curaga:
You can always create symlinks for such hardcoded binaries.

Jason W:
I think a fresh build of sane-backends and xsane would fix the issue and assign the right paths to the  sane.d files.  I may tackle that when I have some free time.
