I had to install libusb-compat because scangearmp uses the old libusb and I do not have the expectise (nor time) to migrate it to the new and hot libusb.
NOTE! This is a work in progress and not yet fully implemented. The compilation is working but I have yet to "connect" it to the rest of the system. xsane do work with my mp495 without any "connection" (could be due to cnijfilter...).
run:
./mp495_build.shThis will configure, build and install the driver.
NOTE! Currently I only set DESTDIR on install and therefore the install part will try and setup files in your /usr/* folders. If you run mp495_build.sh as a normal user you have nothing to fear for any pollusion in your system folders.
