Calibre + Raspberry Pi 2 / ARM7

lorddark462 · 07-29-2015, 04:17 PM

After some searching about forums and the internet for a little while I am able to find some old posts pertaining to running Calibre on an ARM7 device but nothing new. Has it been converted to be able to run on these devices yet? This app seams like a good replacement for LazyLibrarian.

calibre officially supports i686 and x86_64 only. That being said, the code should work just fine on ARM, but you will have to compile and install it yourself. Make sure your dependencies are up-to-date.

I suggest NOT using debian. Use ArchLinuxArm, which is far more up-to-date -- and also has a pre-compiled package for calibre.
