k9copy on Ubuntu?
 
Hello. There seems to be no package for k9copy. Is there a relatively easy way to install it on Ubuntu? See specs:

Code:
mark@mark-OptiPlex-755:~$ lsb_release -a

Distributor ID:        Ubuntu
Description:        Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS

I checked and there is a newer version in development here (3.0.2): http://k9copy-reloaded.sourceforge.net/index.html

Anyone know of any Ubuntu packages of this version? Or Debian packages?

ETA:

Tried to build it from source, but failed. Was following instructions at http://k9copy-reloaded.sourceforge.net/#Build but I got the following:

You can't find a package because developement was halted.

This is why you got the address "kdcopy-reloaded".

Why build from source? Any particular reason?

Binary available;
http://k9copy-reloaded.sourceforge.net/#Download

with the "Download K9copy" button. Just open the thing, read the readme.

Or, better, you could use some other application available in your native repositories.

Thanks for your response widget. Perhaps I'm missing something, because I opened and read the readme, attempted to follow it, and failed. From the readme:

To choose between these two pass into CMake the -DQT5_BUILD=ON/OFF option.
Passing in ON will build the KF5 Version, whereas OFF will build the KDE4 version.
From my first post:

mark@mark-OptiPlex-755:~/NewDebs/k9copy/k9copy$ sudo cmake -DQT5_BUILD=OFF
Qt4 Version

[..]
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
So, I followed the readme, and it did not work. Thus, my question here at linuxquestions.org.

Also note above I tried it with -DQT5_Build=ON and this (as expected) likewise failed.

Anyway, if you've another suggestion besides following the readme, do share. Also, I did try dvd95, which didn't work for me. Also, while I understand that development of k9copy has been halted, I was wondering if there was a third-party Ubuntu package for k9copy-reloaded. From your response, I'll assume not.

Here is what I see when I enter the link you gave (see attached photo). "Looking to download the source". So, it seems the only option given here is building from source (either the latest release of k9copy-reloaded or older k9copy programs), unless I'm missing something.

widget 12-12-2014 12:51 PM
Best I can come up with is this;
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/k9copy/

Which has this link;
http://sourceforge.net/projects/k9copy-reloaded/

That link seems to be for a slightly newer version (3.03) than I saw before.

The post is the most recent I can find of someone claiming success with k9copy anywhere.

With no idea what exactly you need to do with k9copy and understanding dvd95 didn't do that I can only ask if you tried handbrake-gtk.

mark_alfred 12-12-2014 02:28 PM
I found an OpenSuse package that I converted with alien and then installed. Works well.

ETA: I found a k9copy 3.0 rpm at rpmfind.net that also worked, so I've got pretty well the latest version now. It's a better program than dvd95. Some information here that may be useful to some.

Great.

Thanks for this suggestion. While handbrake is not a replacement for k9copy, I find it is a very good program. I think I prefer it to dvd::rip or acidrip.
