iLiad FBReader 0.10.7 Problem

[Fellball]

Hello,

i have build FBReader 0.10.7 for the iliad. it is running, but if i add:

erIpcStartClient(ER_BUSYD_CHANNEL, &erbusyChannel);
busySetBusy(erbusyChannel, ccBusyState_Off);

to funktion doPaint in ZLGtkViewWidget.cpp the porogram ends with "zlui-gtk.so: undefined symbol: erIpcStartClient".

Without this lines FBReader works fine, but with always flashing busy-led.

How can i fix this?

best regards
Fellball

Try this patch. I put led control code in a different place. I built fbreader 0.10.7 against GTK+2.10 and 2.14, and it's working on my iLiad. FIY.

Thanks. I test the patch tonight.....

thx. a look in your diff-file helps me to solve my little problem...

Hi,
Need some help/suggestions:
I had some free time last weekend and set out to compile the fbreader 0.10.7 source.
I have Adam's vmware setup etc., and I think i followed his steps in his dev corner sticky.

But had to stop soon enough since I started getting a truckload of compile errors.

The header files under zlibrary/core/include/ were mostly empty files.
Am i missing something in the configuration?

Can someone provide any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Those header files are just symbolic link linking to some other solid header files. That's why they are empty. The compilation error you encountered has nothing to do with those files.

So, I've been trying to get this compiling, in preperation for the arrival of my iliad!

I applied ericshliao's patch from above to the source from fbreader.org, and started out. First thing I got was a complaint about a missing bzip2 include files, so compiling and installing that into /usr/local/arm/oe/arm-linux/ did the trick.

Next up was:
as: Unrecognized option '-Qy'
which was fixed by soft linking /usr/local/arm/oe/bin/arm-linux-gcc to /usr/local/arm/oe/bin/gcc

And my final problem, which I'm still stuck on, is:

make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/pwarren/iliad/fbreader-0.10.7/zlibrary/core/src/unix/library'
Creating libzlcore.so.0.10.7 .../usr/local/arm/oe/arm-linux/bin/ld: unrecognised emulation mode: elf_i386
Supported emulations: armelf_linux armelf
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [libzlcore.so.0.10.7] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/pwarren/iliad/fbreader-0.10.7/zlibrary/core'
make: *** [all] Error 1
pwarren@buildhost:~/iliad/fbreader-0.10.7$

linking ld as I did for gcc, does not help.

make LD="arm-linux-ld"

produces:

Creating libzlcore.so.0.10.7 ...arm-linux-ld: unrecognized option '-Wl,-soname,libzlcore.so.0.10'
arm-linux-ld: use the --help option for usage information
make[1]: *** [libzlcore.so.0.10.7] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/pwarren/iliad/fbreader-0.10.7/zlibrary/core'
make: *** [all] Error 1

So, I'm a bit stuck.

Does anyone have any pointers, or solutions?

I'm using the official toolchain, on debian 4.0r7, and have successfully compiled the iliados sources, and a few other bits and pieces.

This is leading up to me having a look at packaging up an installer for fbreader 0.10.7, and possibly continuing on the iliados project, which seems to be moving a little slowly at the moment.

Thanks for your time.

Managed to figure this out. Needed to make links for ar, as and g++ as well as the above. Something funky going on with my $PATH I guess.

Then found that FBReader needs fribidi and liblinebreak. Anyways, all compiled now, and stripped down to 4.9MB. Next up, getting a package going

Well, Guess I'd better test it first, make sure my compile actually works! Iliad should be here within 48 hours!!!

[pwarren]

sad face

Doesn't work at all, it seems to run, produces no output and returns in a second or less.

Completely not sure what's happening there. even with xpedmgr it doesn't work.

[ericshliao]

You can run /usr/bin/fbreader.sh in mrxvt to see if any error message.

[pwarren]

Ah, sorry, wasn't being clear!

I've copied my compiled install to /mnt/cf/myfbreader on my iliad, via scp after installing the unbrickable application.

so I run

root@ereader:/media/cf/myfbreader# export DISPLAY=:0
root@ereader:/media/cf/myfbreader# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/media/cf/myfbreader/lib
root@ereader:/media/cf/myfbreader# xepdmgr :0 ./bin/FBReader 
xepdmgr: client mode, child ./bin/FBReader
root@ereader:/media/cf/myfbreader#

Not terribly promising

The FBReader 0.10.2 that istudy compiled works fine. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39802
and now that I've actually read through his thread, I find that the install path, is actually compiled in to FBReader, which might be my problem, as I changed that!

brb....

[ericshliao]

libzlcore is dependent on install path which is fixed at building. If you use my patch file without altering it, you must install to /media/card/programs/fbreader. Or you must modify the install dir.

[pwarren]

heh, that's fixed it. Awesome!

I started it with xepdmgr, is that required, even with your patches?

[ericshliao]

My patch does not deal with screen refreshment, so xepdmgr is a must-have with my patch. But if you use patched x-lib in the fbreader 0.8.14 package, maybe xepdmgr is not needed. That's beyond my reach, 'cause I've never used that 0.8.14 package.

[pwarren]

cool. I'm Ok with using xepdmgr.

Next problem, is no exit button, no easy way to quit FBReader.
