First useable version of the portable scribble merger released.
If you go to http://forge.ocamlcore.org/projects/irextools/, you can download version 0.1 of my portable (Linux, certainly Mac and likely also Windows) scribble merger. There are also some file management utilities in progress.
In this version, I have replaced the baroque algorithm for determining the zoom factor (which was nevertheless not always right ![]() ![]() I've never used iRex' official Windows scribble merger, but from the comments I read here, I'm confident that mine is not much worse ![]() Please be advised that this is a source release and you have to compile yourself (see the file INSTALL). This should be straightforward for all Linux users. For the benefit of the Mac and Windows crowd, I would be happy if someone prepared binary distributions. Have fun! |

Thanks for the hard work!
If someone could be kind enough to put this together for the PC I would be delighted. THis is something that, having just used the merge function from iRex the other day (and the resulting dreadful results) I am desperate for. Unfortunately I would have no clue where to start with this. |

I tried to install this on archlinux 64bit. ocaml and sqlite3 are installed. I did not install any of the ocaml libraries (since I do not know how to, and the install file says that configure script can do that for me). However, I get an error with ./configure
Code:
configure: checking for ocaml compiler and tools... checking for ocamlc... /usr/bin/ocamlc checking for ocamlopt... /usr/bin/ocamlopt checking for ocamldoc... /usr/bin/ocamldoc checking for ocamlmktop... /usr/bin/ocamlmktop configure: checking for other tools... checking for wget... /usr/bin/wget checking for curl... /usr/bin/curl checking for tar... /bin/tar checking for bunzip2... /bin/bunzip2 checking for gunzip... /bin/gunzip checking for a BSD-compatible install... /bin/install -c checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of executables... checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for gcc option to accept ISO C89... none needed checking for library containing sqlite3_open... -lsqlite3 configure: checking for CamlPDF installation...

./configure --with-ocaml-sqlite3=build --with-camlpdf=build in order to instruct it to download the sources of OCaml-SQLite3 (SQLite3 bindings for O'Caml, not part of SQLite3) and CamlPDF. BTW: ./configure --help explains that, but my suggestion to ./configure --help ./configure [options] make at the end of INSTALL are apparently not persuasive enough ![]() |

However, unless I again did something stupid, the makefile does not install the binaries into $binbir directory. |

I tried a few commands, and everything seems to be working correctly. Thanks a lot.
![]() I really like the calibration command. I can now see why I do not get accurate scribble function on my DR, the lower two points are way off (maybe because of the way I hold the pen). I am not sure on what would be a good interface. It depends a lot on what features you end up supporting. The current inteface is quite reasonable, and once things are settled and there is some documentation, it will be fairly easy to use. |

Documentation Available?
thomega ---
great software. ism works great, and the help screen makes it seem like irext would be really useful. Is there some documentation available for irext in particular? Do you have plans to continue development of these tools? Ubuntu and the DR1000s seem like a good combination with your tools. Keep up the good work! cheers, Joe Last edited by joe.altepeter; 12-27-2008 at 12:44 PM. Reason: typo |

Most definitely. During the annual pre-Xmas rush, I couldn't do anything, but gather experience on what works, what not and what would be good to have (NB: suggestions are welcome). Next on my list are bookmark editing and adding and removing empty pages to PDF files for extended notes. Will do ![]() |

I had several problems while installing your merger. But I finally succeeded. Thanks, it's really a great software!
There's a problem with the ocaml sqlite3 installation. Take a look at the config file: OCAML_SQLITE3_URL can't be correctly uncompressed. I changed the link and now it works to me: Quote:

The file at http://trd.no.distfiles.macports.org...3-1.2.0.tar.gz changed so now:
OCAML_SQLITE3_SRC=ocaml-sqlite3-1.2.0 |

Merger for Linux
I am completely nivice in Linux. I would like to install the merger but apart for uncompresing the .tar file I know nothing. Should the merger be installed on the DR or in the Linux machine? Perhaps someone would be patient enough to give me detailed instructions.
