Hi,
I have the nekoware sane-backeds 1.0.19 but it doesn't seem to work with my scanner (it just sits there in wait_4_light but the light is already on) so I'm trying to build the latest 1.0.27.
I have a working toolchain (MIPSpro 7.4.4 + nekoware gmake on 6.5.30) and I've managed to take the nekoware 1.0.19 sources and rebuild them into something that works by using the tips in /usr/nekoware/relnotes/neko_sane_backends.txt:
-----
setenv AR_FLAGS "cru -o"
setenv AR "CC -ar -ptused -quiet_prelink "
setenv CC /usr/bin/cc
setenv LDFLAGS "-L/usr/nekoware/lib -L/usr/lib32/mips4 -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib32 "
setenv CFLAGS " -DIP32 -O3 -n32 -mips4 -OPT:Olimit=0:roundoff=3 -TARG:platform=IP27:proc=r10000 -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib32"
setenv CPPFLAGS " -DIP32 -I/usr/nekoware/include/freetype2 -I/usr/nekoware/include/ -I/usr/nekoware/include/SDL"
setenv CCFLAGS " -DIP32 -O3 -n32 -mips4 -OPT:Olimit=0:roundoff=3 -TARG:platform=IP27:proc=r10000 -L/usr/lib32/mips4 -L/usr/nekoware/lib -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib32"
configure --prefix=/usr/nekoware
gmake
gmake install

1.0.27 has had 10 years of development since 1.0.19 and is not as simple.
I removed the 1.0.19 package so that it doesn't interfere.
I eventually wrangled something that builds but it fails at runtime (during dlopen) with some unresolved symbols. scanimage bombs out immediately. saned bombs out when scanimage connects to it across the network.
Both give an error similar to this:
-----
scanimage: rld: Fatal Error: attempted access to unresolvable symbol in .../libsane.so.1: sane_dll_init
-----
To isolate the problem I tried to rebuild entirely statically and get a similar error message at link time during the build:

These sane_dll_* symbols do not appear *anywhere* in the source tree. Similar sane_* symbols do tho'.
...so I suspect I'm doing something wrong with the linker.
Here's how I'm building:
I start with the setenvs from the 1.0.19 relnotes and then add
-----
gunzip backends-RELEASE_1_0_27.tar.gz
tar xvf backends-RELEASE_1_0_27.tar
cd backends-RELEASE_1_0_27
setenv BACKENDS avision
setenv AR "CC -ar -ptused -quiet_prelink cru -o "
setenv AR_FLAGS
setenv CC /usr/bin/c99
setenv PATH /usr/nekoware/bin:$PATH
# Add #include "../lib/getopt.c" and #include "../lib/getopt1.c" to frontend/scanimage.c frontend/saned.c tools/sane-desc.c
# ./configure --prefix=/usr/andyjpb/sane --without-gphoto2
./configure --prefix=/usr/andyjpb/sane --without-gphoto2 --disable-shared --enable-static
vim include/sane/config.h # Change HAVE_LIB_PNG to undef
gmake
-----
I had to include AR_FLAGS directly in AR otherwise configure wouldn't accept the archiver as one it understood the interface for. I also had to directly include the sane supplied getopt_long stuff as the build failed to realise it needed to build or link that source. Finally I needed to change config.h to tell it that we really didn't want to use the system libpng: it's too old.
We have to use c99 rather than cc as the project has moved to using C99.
This results in the error message above.
This is the offending command:
-----
cd frontend
/bin/ksh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link /usr/bin/c99 $CFLAGS -o scanimage scanimage.o sicc.o stiff.o ../backend/libsane.la ../sanei/libsanei.la ../lib/liblib.la -lpng -ljpeg
-----
(Also, I have to write it like that, with $CFLAGS, because if I write it out long-form then the shell runs out of characters for the command line!)
This seems similar to the problem that gijoe77 was experiencing here:
http://forums.irix.cc/thread-486.html?highlight=sudoers
Can anyone shed any light on how to debug this further or even what I need to do to fix it?
