fbreader-0.10.7 Standalone Installer

[bertold]

That didn't change anything, so I did some investigating. I ran FBReader from the command line (I have the terminal installed) and I got the following error message:

FBReader: error while loading shared libraries: libzltext.so.0.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Any idea how I can fix this?

[pwarren]

try:

export DISPLAY=:0
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/media/cf/Programs/fbreader-0.10.7/lib
./xepdmgr :0 ./FBReader

[pwarren]

Well, a new version of my installer package, hopefully some bugs are out

bugs fixed:
- Uses the supplied xepdmgr, instead of /usr/local/bin/xepdmgr
- Uninstaller supplied.


This works for me on a clean 2.12 reflash.

(A side note, is there a way to flash directly to 2.12, as it is I reflash to 2.10, then IDS updates me to 2.12, then I have to get the shell access again!)

Here are the monochrome pixmaps fixed up for 0.10.7. Had to rename a few of them.

To install:

cd /media/cf/Programs/fbreader-0.10.7/share/pixmaps
mv FBReader FBReader-orig

unzip, and copy FBReader to

/media/cf/Programs/fbreader-0.10.7/share/pixmaps

enjoy nicer looking toolbar!

Well, that fixed that problem, but now I get:

libpng.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Is there something I need to install before trying to run FBReader? Or maybe
all of these paths should be exported in the run.sh file?

I have the same problem like bertold. I tryed the newest installer, it doesnt work

[ericshliao]

replace

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/media/cf/Programs/fbreader-0.10.7/lib

with

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/media/cf/Programs/fbreader-0.10.7/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Still the same error.

libzltext.so is dependent on hard-coded path, try to put it in /usr/lib, usr/local/lib, /media/cf/programs/fbreader-0.8.17/lib. Make sure only one libzltext.so exists in your system.

[bertold]

We posted at the same time. I edited my previous post, because I noticed that I made a typo when exporting the paths. With the typos corrected I go back to the error with libpng, not libzltext.

EDIT: I found a libpng12.so.0.1.2.8 in /usr/lib, but not a libpng.so.3. Does that help with the troubleshooting?

[ericshliao]

Wrong ifno. Forget about the post.

[pwarren]

hrm,

my iliad has a
/usr/lib/libpng.so.3
which is a link to
/usr/lib/libpng12.so.1.2.8

Is that part of the standard firmware image? I'll add a link creation step to the installer if it isn't.

(ln -s /usr/lib/libpng12.so.1.2.8 /usr/lib/libpng.so.3)

That did the trick. So I just need to add these commands to run.sh?

[pwarren]

once you've run that command once, it should be Ok.

What I was referring to was adding that command to the installer script, so that it's done once at install time. You don't need to do it every time you run FBReader.


There's a lot more to packaging up a piece of software than I had realised, still, I'm getting there!

I'm working on some improvements.

- FBReader doesn't do fullscreen properly, goes into, but not out of Full Screen. Fixed this.
- A lot of missing keybindings
- the busy LED goes nuts sometimes

From my reading about the forums, these problems have been solved, so I'll check it out

Yes, I know that the symbolic link remains once it's created, but the variable exports have to be done each time unless I put them in the script, yes?
