Hi,

See https://github.com/hean01/iscan/issues/1 and also
http://unix.stackexchange.com/q/132699/4671

A paste of the unix.sx post appears below. The problem looks like it is to do with autotools. I'd appreciate any hints. I'm not sure if the issue is to do with libtool, so please suggest a more suitable forum if that is not the case.

I attach the complete build log. I'm not subscribed, so please CC me on any reply. Thanks.

                                                          Regards, Faheem

I'm seeing the following error when attempting to build iscan (https://github.com/hean01/iscan) using the master branch on Debian wheezy. This project provides support for Epson scanners, in cases when SANE doesn't. This project appears to be an unofficial fork of the Epson project - I'm not clear about the details. I start with:

address@hidden:/usr/local/src/iscan/iscan$ git remote -v
origin  https://github.com/hean01/iscan (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/hean01/iscan (push)
address@hidden:/usr/local/src/iscan/iscan$ git branch
* (detached from origin/master)
  iscan-2.29.1-5
address@hidden:/usr/local/src/iscan/iscan$ git status
# HEAD detached at origin/master
nothing to commit, working directory clean
address@hidden:/usr/local/src/iscan/iscan$ debuild -uc -us
This package has a Debian revision number but there does not seem to be
an appropriate original tar file or .orig directory in the parent directory;
(expected one of iscan_2.29.3.orig.tar.gz, iscan_2.29.3.orig.tar.bz2,
iscan_2.29.3.orig.tar.lzma,  iscan_2.29.3.orig.tar.xz or iscan.orig)
continue anyway? (y/n)
The error is

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/iscan/iscan'
cd . && /bin/bash /usr/local/src/iscan/iscan/missing --run aclocal-1.10 -I m4
configure.ac:273: error: unknown libltdl build type: _LTDL_TYPE
/usr/share/aclocal/ltdl.m4:226: LTDL_INIT is expanded from...
/usr/share/aclocal/ltdl.m4:352: AC_LIB_LTDL is expanded from...

aclocal-1.10: autom4te failed with exit status: 1
make[1]: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/iscan/iscan'

Suggestions for fixing or even a confirmation this can be reproduced would be helpful. I've also opened an issue for the iscan GitHub project.

Googling "configure.ac:273: error: unknown libltdl build type: _LTDL_TYPE" brings up http://help.lockergnome.com/linux/Beating-libtool-submission--ftopict507073.html but the suggested

autoreconf -fiv
does not work. I might try one of the autotools mailing list, but at this point, I don't even know which one to post to. Should it be autoconf, automake, or libtool, or something else? Pointers appreciated.
