how to compile

[ghking]

Hello
I an trying to download this thing called SANE drivers for my scanner. I downloaded the program, but I have to compile a backend to make my scanner compatible. I have XCode. How do you compile things like these?

The usual way to compile and install a linux program is to open a terminal, go to the folder you shown in the picture and type:

>sudo ./configure

it will ask for the admin password. Then type:

>sudo make
>sudo make install

EDIT: Open the README file, there should be instructions in there.

good luck.
