Can not compile scangearmp

mmarkus-h · November 15, 2010, 11:43pm

hy everybody,

i tried realy hard but i reached the point where I dont know how to do it. I am trying to compile scangear from source, because there isn’t a package provided by canon for the 64 bit version.

Scangear is a nice tool to use your canon scanner and I need it. After resolving all dependencies and executing autgen.sh I get the following error message which I marked bold here. The underlined can be ignored I checked that already at it seems it shouldn’t make a difference. AC_PROG_LIBTOOL is already in configure.in and I don’t know what it needs exactly.

Ah and something important to mention is that I didn’t find the following libraries:

** * libcncpcmcm (1.0.0 or above)
* libcncpmsimg (1.0.0 or above)
* libcncpmslld (1.0.0 or above)
* libcncpmsui (1.0.0 or above)
* libcncpnet (1.1.0 or above)**

Hi
have you installed libtool? Also don’t build as root user, you only
need to use root or sudo to install.

../libtool: line 1046: Xgcc: command not found

You need (at least) gcc. To compile you’ll need a compiler.

[Please use code- instead of quote-tags for command line output]

Edit: If I were you I’d try the .rpm-packages of ‘scangearmp’ provided by Canon instead first. In case it won’t work, you can uninstall them easily anyway and then proceed as planned.

mmarkus-h · November 18, 2010, 11:42am

gcc and gcc c++ is already installed which compiler do I need? I already tried the package version of canon, but then many packages have to change the architecture from 64 in 32 bit and I don’t want that.

sinozzuke · December 27, 2010, 12:02pm

Hi everyone, yes there are problems with the Canon sources, and please, the one who own the Canon hardware, send a complain to Canon.

And now the fix. I was with the same problem, and I asked on #suse on freenode. The user Yaloki checked the src and find out problems with the spec file. And he build an OBS repositorie for us:

Index of /repositories/home:/pbleser:/staging

You can install both, printer and scanner drivers. But be hurry, that repository can be here forever because license issues. the scanner packages are not GPL, they include precompiled libraries without the source code, the printer drivers are GPL but also contain an EULA which is not compatible with it. I have sent an email to support and we are waiting the answer.

After you install the scangearmp you must launch “scangearmp” from terminal, it doen’t work with sane, at least for me, and software launches but it doesn’t work propperly, it always fails to scan.

If you can make it work, drop a line.

Cheers!

From other websites, I have found these steps are needed:

To avoid the faulty parsing “…/libtool: line 752: X–tag=CC: command not found”:

libtoolize --force --copy

Then run:

aclocal
autoconf
automake
./configure

it seemed to work, but I don’t know if this a really clean solution.

ukcjmad · January 9, 2014, 11:09pm

… and other packages I needed to install on a fairly new machine were:

sudo apt-get install automake autoconf libgimp2.0-dev libtool libsane-dev
