Calibre version for 32 bit Porteus

[grizzly8u]

Where could I find a Calibre version that would work in 32 bit Porteus environment. I see calibre 1.48 by Falcony. Where could I find it?

These two posts were splitted and moved into its own thread. The intervention was not on topic.

Thanks.

Answer here Yes, have working Calibre and its depends - for Porteus 32 v.3.1/
All modules are in FIDOSlax stable branch - if you download iso (the last is http://mirror.tochlab.net/pub/fidoslax/ ... le-x86.iso) - u got it in porteus/program dir.

Menu in Fluxbox is Right button of mous on desktop, then submenu (Standard)>(E-Book Management Calibre )

If you click in it - all modules will be automatically loaded and then Calibre started.

To see what modules u need check:
cat /usr/bin/calibre.sh

Try here: https://pkgs.org/download/calibre

Conversion wont't work - no chance, not wast your time.
Calibre is complex program set which have many depends most of which have to be build on target porteus only - and for qt and python version you currently have.

That's normal. Reply stays in Outbox until receiver reads it.

The problem, as always, is Python. This is not a serious language...

Yeah I PM'd it as I saw the Outbox thing. Sorry for the doubles. . .

I'm a Noob when it comes to Porteus/Slax. I'm a little confused about the install process. I successfully got 1.4.8 from the iso. I converted it to an xzm and it shows up in the directory but no joy when trying to execute. A little padlock appears on the file in the file manager. I'm relatively familiar with the terminal and have been using Lubuntu for a long time but this is a little different. Any directions are greatly appreciated.

have you tried

Code: Select all

usm -g calibre

this should find some the deps at least if not the python ones..
the arch package certainly has lots of deps(37):
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/comm ... 6/calibre/ :0

oop here's probly a better indicator (beyond python and qt5)
http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/ ... ch=calibre

This requires: optipng, podofo, apsw, cssselect, cssutils, dnspython, lxml, mechanize, msgpack-python, netifaces, psutil, regex, PyQt5, python-dateutil, Pygments, html5-parser

I appreciate everyone's input but I discovered this while trying to get through all the dependencies, etc. This link gives the exact code to install a version that works with 32 bit or 64 bit machines: https://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux. The following code works perfectly per their instruction: sudo -v && wget -nv -O- https://download.calibre-ebook.com/linux-installer.py | sudo python -c "import sys; main=lambda:sys.stderr.write('Download failed\n'); exec(sys.stdin.read()); main()"

Thanks to everyone! I'm up and running!!!
