armel calibre (for Aeris)

[twobob]

AFAIK this would require

http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/ar...n-qt4/filelist

and

http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/ar...n-sip/filelist

don't even ASK for support anyone.

a) I hate python
b) python hates me
c) see a or b

I have zero understanding of anything python...


[root@kindle root]# /mnt/us/extensions/calibre/usr/bin/calibre
python2.7: /usr/lib/libz.so.1: no version information available (required by python2.7)

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/22534 (solved)
so it's solvable.

but yeah. there you go.

rip what you need out of that.

[twobob]

reserved. for reminding people that I hate python.

and it hates me.

[Aeris]

Oh oh oh thank you so much Twobob!!!!!

[Aeris]

Where must I copy these libs?

I've tried with export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/the path where a placed these libs

while running ebook convert it says now:
libicudata.so.48: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

And many other errors mmh

[NiLuJe]

There's a rather large dependency tree for calibre (http://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux#dependencies), the one most likely to trip you being PyQt4.

For an (old), but working example, see what Jesse Vincent did back in 2009 with Savory: http://savory.googlecode.com/

[Aeris]

if easier, it is sufficient to port well the ebook-converter program only (not all calibre)

I had a look at that stuff. It was a long time ago, but at that time I was still learning the art messing around filesystems. I might have another go now.

Let me qualify my previous statement.
That error I posted above is WITH pyQt4 installed on the kindle

from PyQt4.Qt import (QVariant, QFileInfo, QObject, SIGNAL, QBuffer, Qt,
ImportError: cannot import name QVariant

It's a widely reported error when running an arm version of this.
many people have reported getting this running on arm

This contains that. just chop out the bit you want.

Happy to provide the missing libs you may need.
sadly, there my involvement ends.

Sweet.

I meant that ebook converter doesn't work on my device
requoting my message before:

It gives me a bunch of error when try to convert something. Maybe I did something wrong importing the libs this way, don't know...

[twobob]

huh.

I left it on my device.

give me a "for example" bit of code/script/command for calling the converter and I'll have a look.

[twobob]

env: can't execute 'python2': No such file or directory
oh yeah, duh...
cp /mnt/us/extensions/python/usr/bin/python2.7 /mnt/us/extensions/python/usr/bin/python2
and then...
[root@kindle root]# . /mnt/us/extensions/python/pythonenv

hmm what about now?

[root@kindle root]# /mnt/us/extensions/calibre/usr/bin/ebook-convert --help
python2.7: /usr/lib/libz.so.1: no version information available (required by python2.7)

Usage: ebook-convert input_file output_file [options]

Convert an ebook from one format to another.

input_file is the input and output_file is the output. Both must be specified as the first two arguments to the command.

The output ebook format is guessed from the file extension of output_file. output_file can also be of the special format .EXT where EXT is the output file extension. In this case, the name of the output file is derived the name of the input file. Note that the filenames must not start with a hyphen. Finally, if output_file has no extension, then it is treated as a directory and an "open ebook" (OEB) consisting of HTML files is written to that directory. These files are the files that would normally have been passed to the output plug-in.

After specifying the input and output file, you can customise the conversion by specifying various options. The available options depend on the input and output file types. To get help on them, specify the input and output file and then use the -h option.

For full documentation of the conversion system see
http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/conversion.html

Whenever you pass arguments to ebook-convert that have spaces in them, enclose the arguments in quotation marks.

Options:
--version show program's version number and exit

-h, --help show this help message and exit

--list-recipes List builtin recipe names. You can create an ebook from a
builtin recipe like this: ebook-convert "Recipe Name.recipe"
output.epub

I have no idea how to use it?

[Aeris]

Here:

echo sampletext > sample.txt
./ebook-convert sample.txt output.mobi


(Usage: ebook-convert input_file output_file [options])

[twobob]

anways, all this aside. the actual RUNNING of the main app needs to be fixed.

There is something funky going on with the "imports" , this is the crux of the problem.

someone - with python skills - just needs to get that bit of it traced/fixed. then the rest will just fall together.

[twobob]

and here's proof that there is nothing wrong with it:

running in a arm debian wheezy via qemu on an i686 system.

if it can do that? it sure as hell can run on the kindle.

fix the environment. the app ported fine.

[Aeris]

Could this help?

EDIT: Ah, it runs... so what must I do? Do I import in a bad way your two libs files?
Ps don't know if the GUI works, i know only that ebook-convert doesn't on my device xD

I'm using python 2.7.5 installed from .bin update
