Calibre Pet
Calibre Pet
Hi
Could somebody make Calibre into a pet. I have tried to get their linux version to function, but no luck. I need it to run my KOBO ereader in puppy. Adobe Digital Editions will work in wine but I would rather have straight linux programs.
Running Lucid 500, 4.3.2 and playing with kdpup.
Asus M4A78T-E, AMD Phenom II dual core, onboard graphics.

Calibre Portable through Wine
Hi,
You can use Calibre Portable through Wine, after installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2008, included in Calibre Portable.

Calibre runs perfectly in Ubuntu, so...
While I have not yet done it, I thought you could install .deb files in Lupu. If I am correct in this assumption, then it should be just fine.
I run Calibre in Ubuntu to convert for Stanza, and it is flawless. More stable, and faster by a hair than in Windows 7.
The new version converts practically anything, even .lit files.
Which reminds me...I need to make a donation to Calibre...

How I installed Calibre in Puppy 4.3.2
I got it going native in 4.3.2. (32 bit)
Method I used (may be redundant):
Install the devx sfs for your kernel and distro version
Install glibc-2.10.1.pet
Install gcc-4.2.2-1.pet
install python-2.6.4-i386.pet
rename /usr/bin/python to /usr/bin/python.old
make a new link called /usr/bin/python pointing to /usr/bin/python2.6
browse to the Calibre website download page.
select all and copy the binary download command to a terminal screen.
delete the word sudo inthe beginning of the command line, and run the command
Optional:
I installed it to /opt (the default) but had previously moved /opt to /mnt/home, and then linked it back to its original location (I have a frugal install). This reduces the impact of the size of this and a few other big programs like Open Office on the size of the pup save file.
Good luck!

for interest I've just installed Calibre in Lucid RC 518
First did a frugal install of Lucid RC 518 (and save file)
then installed the Gnu C Compiler lupu_devx_516.sfs from quick pet
then from the Calibre download page - the binary install instructions
in a command line window - (copy then paste with middle mouse button/wheel)
which installs "calibre-0.7.35-i686.tar.bz2"
it only had one fail;
"Setting up desktop integration failed with error" due to
"xdg-icon-resource: command not found"
started from command line ok
then from /opt/calibre dragged the "calibre" file to the desktop
found a icon in /opt/calibre/resources/content_server
starts ok from the desk top

@mulluysavage
Have you got lupu_devx_520.sfs installed?
(or the one to match your puppy version)
with python I think you need to try from the command line
