Anyone know why i get this when i try to make pxscan ?

root@system:/home/scotland/pxscan # make
gcc -O -c -g -Wall -I/usr/local/tiff-v3.4/libtiff/ pxscan.c
make: gcc: Command not found
make: *** [pxscan.o] Error 127

yeah -- you don't have gcc or it ain't in your path. it's a c compiler.

did you do ./configure
?

it shoulda crapped during that process

The readme/install file just said it needed make no ./confiugure though i did try this. i will go check gcc.

Ok got gcc and now i got this lol

Answer may be basic but im not a linux pro lol

Thanks in advance
crapper....

good for you for reading the included documentation. guess they cheated, and expected you'd have certain things. look where it got them!

root@system:/home/scotland/pxscan # ./configure
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

Thats all i get from ./configure anyway.

try to install libtiff, apt-cache search libtiff returned some possibilities...
J.

Have allready got the latest libtiff installed

But thanks for the reply

crapper

Checked all my libtiff stuff and ran make and i get the info posted below.

gcc -O -c -g -Wall -I/usr/local/tiff-v3.4/libtiff/ pxscan.c
pxscan.c: In function `scan':
pxscan.c:1130: warning: comparison is always false due to limited range of data type
gcc -O -c -g -Wall -I/usr/local/tiff-v3.4/libtiff/ probe_lp.c
gcc -O -c -g -Wall -I/usr/local/tiff-v3.4/libtiff/ portio.c
portio.c: In function `epp_off':

portio.c:43: warning: implicit declaration of function `iopl'
cc -ltiff -lm -O -g pxscan.o probe_lp.o portio.o -o pxscan

and if i do cp pxscan.1 /usr/locan/man/man1 as the readme info says i still cant get xsane to show the scanner it keeps giving "No devices available".
