I’ve started packaging brscan3 (Brother scanner driver e.g. for MFC-7440N) and got stuck:
I’m new to nixos, actually for now I’m doing all this as demo user in a VirtualBox.
After cloning nixpkgs I created a brscan3 next to brscan4/5 and modified whatever seemed to be required.
Not functional yet
Done:
- driver build (pkgs/applications/graphics/sane/backends/brscan3)
- config (nixos/modules/services/hardware/sane_extra_backends/brscan3.nix)
Todo: - deal with hard coded paths in /nix/store/-brscan3-0.2.13-1/lib/sane/libsane-brother3.so
potential solution: Replacing hard coded paths in ELF binaries - tape software
Any help/advice/review is welcome!
