If you are not able to build the backend binary yourself, then I could
generate one for you in a Debian VM.

Building the backend binary should be fairly straightforward if you install
the dependencies, including build-essential (for the compiler), git clone
the backends repo (from https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends.git), in a
terminal, change to the backends directory, enter:

 ./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix={a test directory such as $HOME/sane-install}
./make
./make install

Then:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/sane-install/lib/sane
scanimage etc.... to test.

Cheers,
Ralph
