I used the C compiler (cc) that comes with SCO OpenServer 5 (3.2v5.0.2)
and GNU's make (v3.75) I configured sane v0.61 with --disable-shared
I think it might also compile without any configure options, but
--disable-shared worked fine for me (might be better this way too)

Anything else you'd like to know, you can ftp the binary distribution I
made (.tar.gz) of sane v0.61 on my sco box... you or anyone else that is
interested, can get it from: ftp.nycmetro.com directory /sco

I posted this (my post and your reply) to both comp.unix.sco.misc and
comp.unix.sco.programmer in hopes of someone on there that can accomplish
this :) Look for the subject "SANE (Scanner) in SCO - help!" on there.

P.S. I think you can put SCO OpenServer 5.x support in the sane.lsm file,
eh? :)
