You are right - when I downgrade gimp to 2.10.38-5 the menu item for creating a new image from the scanner source appears again.

@simona, I would not wait for an update from the packager. He/she last AUR login is from 6 months ago. He/she is not even reading our posts. I recommend you move from xsane to simple-scan, which is in the exra Arch repo.

@moormaster, I suspect GIMP 3.0 is not compatible with this version of Xsane.

It builds again - but gimp is still missing the file/create/from scanner entry in its menu.

thanks for the reply. I think i'll wait until the package is installable without modifications. I don't like having different and specific installation procedures for each package.

@simona, the prepare() function I posted before should solve your build problem. If you modify the PKGBUILD and call yay/paru/etc to install xsane it will override your modified PKGBUILD and will give the same errors again. After modifying the PKGBUILD with the new prepare() you should call makepkg -si instead.

it seems a gkt2 problem, but I have last gtk2 2.24.33-5 from extra repo. what is the problem?

This is the new prepare() function which make xsane to build again:

prepare() {
  cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver"
  # fix use "xdg-open" instead of "netscape" to launch help browser - taken from Fedora
  patch -Np1 -i "${srcdir}/xsane-0.995-xdg-open.patch"
  sed -i -e 's:png_ptr->jmpbuf:png_jmpbuf(png_ptr):' src/xsane-save.c
  patch -Np1 -i "${srcdir}/0165-xsane-0.999-lcms2.patch"
  patch -Np1 -i "${srcdir}/0001-lcms2_configure.patch"
  patch -p1 -i ../xsane-preview-selection.patch # Fix selection preview
  patch -p1 -i "${srcdir}/configure-add-stdlib-to-conftest.patch" # Fix failing build of conftest by adding stdlib.h to test program

  # ==> FIXES FOR MODERN GCC 2025-06-12 <==

  sed -i 's/static gint xsane_batch_scan_gamma_event()/static gint xsane_batch_scan_gamma_event(gpointer data)/' src/xsane-gamma.c
  sed -i 's/static gint xsane_slider_hold_event()/static gint xsane_slider_hold_event(gpointer data)/' src/xsane-gamma.c

  # Fix conflicting function types between declaration (.h) and definition (.c)
