Xsane compiled without GIMP support ? ;-(

[Michiel]

Code:

michiel@zandbelt ~ $ xsane -v
xsane-0.995 © 1998-2007 Oliver Rauch
  E-mail: Oliver.Rauch@xsane.org
  pakket xsane-0.995
  gecompileerd met GTK-2.12.10
  with color management function
  zonder GIMP ondersteuning
  XSane uitvoerformaten: jpeg, pdf(compr.), png, pnm, ps(compr.), tiff, txt

I try to add XSANE as a GIMP plug-in so that I can call xsane for scanning an image right into GIMP for further processing.

I followed the instructions found on the internet (creating symbolic links from xsane to plug-ins directory), but whatever I tried I did not get an additional scanner entry in the GIMP menu File-Acquire.

Now from the code posted above it turned out that Xsane is compiled without GIMP support.

Of course i searched the web for a sloution for that but so far I cannot find it.

Does anyone know how to get xsane available as plu-in in GIMP 2.4?

Or do I have to recompile xsane again?

Hello,

can it be, that you must install for that the pisi-package "gimp-devel" ?

That is only one Assumption of me.

I think so Andreas, I came across that and installed the additional GIMP PISI packages, but the problem unfortunately remains that xsane PISI package is obviously being compiled without GIMP support.

Perhaps I should enter a bug report on this (relatively minor) issue...

Hello Michiel,

I think, that is the best.
