Marcion Dictionary and Coptic texts

[vagrant]

Unfortunately, because iam newbie on developing under windows, djview is available only under linux version. for windows are used tiff images of crum's dictionary, and other books in djvu format missing. In future i solve this problem,

Documentation is better to download rather than use that which is included in package. good luck.

that's a good news for windows users
however the biggest obstacle you will be having is your dependency on MySQL
u can't tell normal windows user (Install SQL server on your machine in order to use my software)
you can either use SqlLite instead or host your database on a central server
so that your users can access uptodate data without a single mouse click

[vagrant]

thats true. but sqlite is too simple, postgre maybe, but there is server too. mysql embedded server can be solution, but in future i want online database also, from which all users can immediately update. Anyway, if anyone has problems with server installation or execution, i will help him.

[vagrant]

(linux binaries and sources, windows binaries comes soon)

Marcion is now more "user friendly", simple installation, MySql server is now embedded into application (just unpack and run), MDI interface, and some next visual and other improvements.

for Admin: iam glad for you want help me with developing, sources in svn repository are prepared. First checkout repository

Code: [Select]

svn co https://marcion.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/marcion marcion then copy directories of source tarball 'fonts','library','data' into new directory 'marcion' and 'mysql/data' into 'marcion/mysql'.

command

Code: [Select]

$ svn statusnow open 'marcion.pro' in qt creator, then 'ibycus.pro' and 'djview.pro' and add them as dependencies. in options change info about your qt version and location and in build steps made changes proper for your system. Then build project. After successfull building, run

Code: [Select]

$ svn revert --depth=infinity .
$ svn statusthis produce output like this:

Code: [Select]

[vagrant@localhost marcion]$ svn status
?       marcion
?       fonts
?       library
?       data
?       mysql/data

and now is all ready for shared developing. Tell me also which nick do you want for svn accesing.

note: because of server is now embedded, is no important if your qt is build with --plugin-sql-mysql, and no sql plugin is more needed. It was replaced by class CMySql, which encapsulate functions of 'libmysqld.a' presented with headers in 'mysql' directory. So, do not include

Code: [Select]

QT += sqlinto .pro file.

Thank you very much for your help.

(I am new with using subversion, so i hope that all is correct.)

[Admin]

I don't have a plan, let me know your plan and then we can discuses it.
then we can decide who will take which part of the plan.

[vagrant]

Please be patient, i will finish some bugfixes and binaries for windows. After that i prepare plan of development. You can watch development state.

Code: [Select]

svn co https://marcion.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/marcion marcion

[vagrant]

version for windows is now available with embedded server and full functionality, just unzip and run.
Life of Anthony in sahidic is added.

[Admin]

I would help if I knew Sahidic
if u want help you can make post in the "projects" section
Good luck

[vagrant]

coptic dictionary is now complete, + many new features. enjoy
http://sourceforge.net/projects/marcion/

next step is to extend database by words which are not in crum + interlinear translator

[Admin]

Great, can't wait to try it out
as always, I am the one who give u the pretty messages
mina@mina-laptop:~/Desktop/HOME/marcion$ ./marcion-qt46
./marcion-qt46: error while loading shared libraries: libbz2.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
mina@mina-laptop:~/Desktop/HOME/marcion$ ./marcion-qt45
./marcion-qt45: error while loading shared libraries: libbz2.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[vagrant]

  almost all my frieds with linux (mandriva, suse, ubuntu) runs it without problems. but there is one which have gentoo as you, and he had various problems with obsolete packages in his system.
maybe you should to try another distro. anyway, best solution is code from svn, it works well.

[Admin]

sorry I forgot to mention, tested on Ubuntu 64bit
I guess that's why
or not? I think 64bit system can run 32 executables out of the box
I have 32bit firefox which is working fine

[vagrant]

64bit is problem, binary is compiled for 32bit. you must build from sources

[Admin]

the error is not about 64bit its about a library that doesn't exist
which is libbz2.so.1
anyway, I will try to install it and see

[Admin]

right, the library is there.
the application just won't load it :s
don't u provide any kind of svn, instead of having to download some hundred mega bytes every time a line of code is changed
