Help with ./configure Epson Scanner

Hello, I urgently need help installing a program for my Epson Perfection 4870 scanner in Artix.
For Debian or Suse, the manufacturer has bash scripts that can be installed without any problems. For  Artix no, so I have to resort to compiling them myself.
I tried two programs, namely iscan and imagescan.
I was unable to install either of them.

iscan:

./configure ran without any problems. make ended with the following error message:

Code: [Select]

I have the source file downloaded here (after accepting the licence).

I actually didn't want to include aur.  :'(
Can you provide the rebuilt iscan for me?
Is that even possible?

And why don't work the source file?

I'm not sure that my package will work for you, I have an old cpu and specific compilation flags including target-cpu=native. Why don't you want use aur? It's just PKGBUILD and patches. You can download snapshot of it and inspect it thoroughly and then build with makepkg.

There's patches. Some distro-specific differences I guess.

Sorry, I can not find any usefull explanation, how I can enable aur in Artix, neither here, nor here  nor here.

What does it mean: "It's just PKGBUILD and patches. And where I can "download snapshot of it and inspect it thoroughly and then build with makepkg."

Aur is not officially supported. This requires a foolproof explanation.  ;)
How I have to enable it (without damage to my system)

I have enabled  aur in pamac-manager, but it is not possible to install iscan.
Surely it is not so simple, but why is there no explanation in pamac?

I can't get any further. I've read up on it.

So when I try to install iscan, the libstdc++5 package from aur is missing as a dependency.
When I try to install the libstdc++5 package first, I get the error message, when I run makepkg -s:

Cannot find the GNU C library minor version number.
==> FEHLER: Ein Fehler geschah in build().
    Breche ab...

So what now?  >:(

Yes, the libstdc++5 package in aur is kinda broken, but there is a fix in comments. Clone github repo and build it:

Code: [Select]
git clone https://github.com/mikrosk/libstdc-5
cd libstdc-5
makepkg

Many thanks for the help.   :-*
The scanner is now working.

All I had to do yet was rebuild the iscan-data package.

I could have figured it out myself, but sometimes you just lose your nerve.
Especially when it comes to compiling and you keep getting error messages.

Don't you think I can install the created packages on my other notebook?

You can try. As far as I know it's harmless enough, worst case scenario is that installed package doesn't run.
