RE: gcc not compiling
by Styma, Robert E (Robert)
void main(...
vs
int main(...
The standard specifies "int main(...". I agree that
what happens with void main becomes compiler dependent.

> $ ./foo
In the example, the compiler warning MAY have indicated that
it was overriding the void with in. Since the original
poster was new coder, best that they learn the approved syntax.
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
The syntax:
int main(int argc, char **argv)
works, but most of the C books I have seen recommend
the *argv[] version.

OT - Please Help with sane / scanner
by Kevin Kempter
Hi List ;
I bought a Plustek OpticSlim M12 sheetfeed usb scanner.
If I run sane-find-scanner I see the following:
found USB scanner (vendor=0x07b3, product=0x0412 [600dpi USB Scanner],
chip=GT-6816?) at libusb:002:004
# Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported
by
# SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.
However if I run scanimage -L I get this:
No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
I dont know where to go from here...
Thanks in advance for any help
