    This creates the symbolic links in the library installation directory,
    usually /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/lib/sane.

    "ln -s" is the link command for symlinks. So the first line above means:
    "Create a file with the name "/usr/local/lib/libsane.a" that points to
    /usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-dll.so." It uses a relative path
    "sane/libsane-dll.a".

    However there doesn't seem to exist a link (ln) command on OS/2 so
    cp is used. But cp doesn't understand relative paths.

    Maybe it's possible to use absolute paths but that's ugly.

    Also it looks like there is a problem with the library postfix.

    I think this part is only dealing with the installed versions of the
    libraries.

    I'm not sure if this can be fixed easily.

    I'm not sure what you are talking about. test isn't compiled (or
    installed) automatically and that's intentional. $TESTPROGRAMS isn't
    in $PROGRAMS.

    I can't find any reference in sane-frontends/src/Makefile.in for test.
    Could you give some details?

    Bye,
