I registered my Canon CanoScan LiDE 400 scanner on the Canon USA site, but when I tried to post a question the site kept telling me I had to verify my profile. After 5 attempts to get past that I quit. Perhaps someone here can point me to where I can get help. I'm building the scangearmp2 linux driver for the scanner. It configures completely, but the build fails with this message: Makefile:355 recipe for target 'all' failed. How can I contact the proper help source?
So i assume that means your installing the Scangear MP driver form their site but getting an error. I guess I would call canons 1800number and see what they can help with support wise since they do have a driver available for Linux.. Not sure if we have any Linux users on the forums here that have dabbled in similar issues. https://www.usa.canon.com/support/p/canoscan-lide-400#idReference=software-drivers
Johnsey, No, I was building it from source. When I looked more closely at the errors and the source I discovered that the missing libraries (in the com/ subdirectory) needed to be copied to /usr/lib64/. When I did that it built without any issues. Thanks for your reply, Rich
