Code:
sudo ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6/Commands/java /usr/bin/java
Had to install ImageMagick and choose to use the MacPorts version.
Once I'd done all of this Canti worked. |
I developed Canti using the latest jdk 6 on Ubuntu (1.6.20 I think), but I thought jre 5 would be enough to run it. Anything before jre 5 shouldn't work since I heavily use type safety. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Yes, you still need a bind file. Canti handles binding very crudely. It doesn't analyze filenames to determine volume or chapter numbers, it merely binds according to alphabetical order. This was the simplest way to program binding, and it works well if your collection is nicely organized, but it does require you to manually craft the bind file.
