Eric's latest Calibre for 14.0

SqdnGuns · 08-23-2012, 02:21 PM

I know that Eric does not like using spaces in file names and directory's so I was surprised to see a space in the directory in ~/Calibre Library when I installed it. I have set it up with as ~/Calibre_Library since I hate spaces as well.

Is there is specific reason why there is a space or is it an oversight?

Thanks

I do not write Calibre, I just package it. I have nothing to do with how the software is behaving.
You can rightfully complain to the developer.

Thanks Eric, was just curious as to why.

I upgraded my system to 14.0 and am trying to build calibre I get the following error

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: No module named dateutil.tz

I know I'm missing something but can't figure what it is.

pydateutils, I think.

interndan · 11-02-2012, 01:36 PM

Where do I find them? I don't see them on SBO.

interndan · 11-02-2012, 02:04 PM

I found the date utils on Eric's site, now I get this

Code:

Same place as where you find my calibre package... of course.

I think it is better if you install all dependencies first unless you want to post 8 more of these failures.

This is a circumstantial error which is going to be automatically fixed once you install all dependencies first.

Ok. I thought your build script did that. I followed the instructions from here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...8-18-a-902468/. I guess I need to find out which order to do this in step-by-step simplicity.
I had this working under 13.1 but forgot how I did it.

wildwizard · 11-02-2012, 02:59 PM

Looking quickly over that thread the standout for me is this post by Eric :-

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...8/#post4469919

Which links to this file :-

http://slackware.com/~alien/slackbui...slack-required

interndan · 11-02-2012, 03:09 PM

Ok, I followed this:

Code:

Download all the files in ( http://taper.alienbase.nl/mirrors/pe...calibre/build/ ) , except calibre_pythondeps-13.37.0-i486.tar.bz2 AND calibre_pythondeps-13.37.0-i486.tar.bz2

Put then all into the same folder, enter a terminal, navigate to the folder, become root

Execute the script "./calibre.Slackbuild"

If any error happens and the build dont finish plx try to get some of the build log and copy in here

If everything turns to be good, as i think it will, use "upgradepkg /tmp/calibre*.txz" or "upgradepkg calibre*.txz"



The BUILD folder in alien repositorie is the formula that he uses to build the package he launchs every week. Its avaliable so everybody can see and learn how to build it thenselfs. If everything went fine and u did build the 0.8.18 version for your slackware-13.1_64bits, you can keep doing it by saving the folder you downloaded all the files from that BUILD and downloading and replacing just the calibre source code in it. Today ( its 2 AM of Friday here in Brazil ) the next version should be avaliable, the 0.9.19.

I will download and install each of the dependencies and try again.

interndan · 11-02-2012, 04:35 PM

I downloaded and installed all the dependencies separately the downloaded the calbre package and installed it. Everything seems to be working now. Thanks for all the help. I guess in future I'll just use all of Eric's pre-built packages instead of trying the build scripts.

Alien Bob · 11-02-2012, 06:39 PM

People, if you are desperate to use my SlackBuild scripts in order to rebuild the packages which I already supply for you, I expect that you also read the scripts. You would see that calibre for Slackware 14 is different from the version built for Slackware 13.37. In Slackware 14, python was upgraded to 2.7.x which matches the version that calibre requires. Therefore, my package for Slackware 14 does not have to build an internal python 2.7 interpreter plus several python modules anymore (which probably was what interndan was referring to when he said "Ok. I thought your build script did that").

Also, you should not be looking at my slack-required file in the build directory... because if you would have read the SlackBuild you'd have noticed that I edit that file before adding it to the package.

Better would be to compare:
http://slackware.com/~alien/slackbui..._64-1alien.dep
and
http://slackware.com/~alien/slackbui..._64-1alien.dep
to see the difference in dependencies when using my calibre package on Slackware 14 or 13.37.
