     /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/sane-backends-1.0.15/backend/Makefile.in
      I first change this so that ./configure when generate Makefile it will
have my source files also listed.

  Sorry but i didnot get how to show this but as u can see in above diff
output. the newly added  files umax-4100.c is not compiling only the
original package is compiling besides asking ./configure to generate Makfile
which contains my source files name to be compiled.
    how i can say that it failed by checking that umax4100.lo files is not
generated by Make.
