tompe: thanks for making your MobiPerl collection - the perl code runs very smoothly - it was also very easy to find the necessary lines to change because your code is easily read (but maybe we could have a little switch to change the size from the default
) - Mac OS X comes with perl already installed (v5.8.6 under /usr/bin) - I don't know if you need v5.8.8 installed for your scripts to work because I already had v5.8.8 installed.
If someone needs to install perl 5.8.8 on their machine for it to work the following would need to be done:
- Install macports http://www.macports.org/
- Use macports to obtain perl in Terminal.app
Code:
$ sudo port -v autoupdate
$ sudo port -v install perl5.8
- This should have placed perl in /opt/local/bin (and I believe changed the paths properly to find it) you can test by:
Code:
$ which perl # tells you what directory it is in
$ perl -version # tells you what version is active
- Now download the latest tarball from the mobiperl website (currently 0.0.27), decompress it, and move the libraries into the distribution (on my machine using macports - /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/)
Code:
# there maybe a friendlier way to do this but this works
# do this in the directory where you downloaded the mobiperl tar
$ tar xv mobiperl-0.0.27.tar
$ cd mobiperl-0.0.27
$ sudo cp Palm MobiPerl /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8
- (optional) put the mobi2mobi, etc. in good places
Code:
$ sudo cp lit2mobi mobi2mobi html2mobi mobi2html opf2mobi /usr/bin
I typed this up pretty quick and wasn't actually doing the install at that moment - so everyone doing this should read it for themselves and make sure it looks good (esp the sudo commands)
Thanks again tompe!
