Subject: [PATCH] gnu: simple-scan: enable scanning over network for eSCL/WSD
 scanners
Date: Mon,  9 Jun 2025 15:21:03 +0200

* gnu/packages/gnome.scm (simple-scan)[inputs]: Add sane-airscan.
<#:phases>: Wrap simple-scan to set
  - LD_LIBRARY_PATH to sane-airscan's lib/sane
  - SANE_CONFIG_DIR to sane-airscan's etc/sane.d

This change allows simple-scan to automatically detect and use eSCL or WSD
(AirScan) backends over the network.

The LD_LIBRARY_PATH looks suspicious.  Is there any way around it using
other SANE tooling?

Cheers

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello

> The LD_LIBRARY_PATH looks suspicious.

What exactly is suspicious?

>  Is there any way around it using other SANE tooling?

AFAIK there's no simpler runtime-only solution:
- You could use patchelf to prepend the store's lib/sane directory
onto the binary's RPATH, but that's as even even more fiddly as
setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH
- sane-config only spits out compile-time flags (-I..., -L...,
-lsane); it doesn't tell the loader where to find backends at runtime.

BTW, I've polished the patch. Please ignore the previous one - the
phase name was wrong ("wrap-flatpak" instead of "wrap-simple-scan").


Cheers

I've proposed another solution on codeberg, please take a look

sane configuration has been revised. Now you need to specify the
backends in sane-service-type configuration and then client programs
should just work. Please confirm it works for you and close the bug.
