Setting up Calibre development environment

EngelEatos · 02-13-2018, 09:16 PM

Hi,

I want to set up a development environment. (Archlinux, zsh)

Code:

#!/bin/sh
export CALIBRE_DEVELOP_FROM="/home/rias/calibre/src"
calibre-debug -g

but it doesn't use the source folder. There is no asterisk beside the version.

Quote:

asterisk after the version number in the GUI window, indicating that you are running from source.

calibre-debug output

Spoiler:

I hope somebody can help. If you need further information, I will try to provide it.

Thanks

If you want to use CALIBRE_DEVELOP_FROM you have to install the binary calibre install from https://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux not the arch calibre package.
