Arch Linux User Repository

Added a patch to make it build again

@maderios regardless if the old gtk2 version is no longer being maintained, this should still be able to be built, so the package maintainer here has to either make some patches to make it build or delete the package.

As it stands, this cannot build in a clean CHROOT, so the package maintainer should be making changes to the PKGBUILD or adding patches

@moormaster Old gtk2 xsane is no more maintained by devs. They're working on future gtk3 version

Doesn't build for me

@sowieso It builds for me. Anyway, gtk2 is going to be dropped upstream. Look here
https://gitlab.com/sane-project/frontend/xsane/-/issues/66

For me it complained about gcc, patch, and make not being installed, maybe add it as build-dependency. In the end it failed with

ERROR: GTK-1.2.0 or newer is needed for compiling xsane
       if you installed gtk as rpm make sure you also included
       gtk-devel

though.

xsane-gimp doesn't build/work with Gimp 3.0, it's upstream issue, xsane-gimp project is outdated, no more maintained. I think that's why it was removed from official repo.

Is the patch forgetting to set HAVE_LIBLCMS2? 0165-xsane-0.999-lcms2.patch:

+/* Define if you have liblcms2. */
+#undef HAVE_LIBLCMS2

When I change undef to define it builds successfully.

Of course I'm up to date. Look at the end of 0165-xsane-0.999-lcms2.patch:

-# include "lcms.h"
+# ifdef HAVE_LIBLCMS2
+#  include "lcms2.h"
+# else
+#  include "lcms.h"

The preprocessor can't find lcms2, so it attempts to insert lcms instead.

@loqy Your error message says 'lcms.h'. There is no lcms package in Arch distribution and lcms is not required for building. Update Arch system and source

I had lcms2 installed while building. I have lcms2.h in /usr/include/lcms2.h
