Sturm reader is an ebook reader for Ubuntu. It's built on the the new Ubuntu Toolkit, so it works best on touch devices. It behaves resonably on the desktop, as well. It features full support for Epub files and preliminary support for CBZ and PDF files.
It's a fork of Beru from Rschroll (http://rschroll.github.io/beru), thanks!
To build for the systen you are working on, do
$ mkdir <build directory>
$ cd <build directory>
$ cmake <path to source>
$ make
To build the click for an Ubuntu Touch device and create a .click package, you can use clickable:
$ clickable b p
Or inside an OnTheRoad container
$ clickable b p --container-mode
Launch Sturm Reader with the shell script sturmreader
.
Sturm Reader keeps a library of epub files. On every start, a specified folder is searched and all epubs in it are included in the library. You may also pass a epub file as an argument. This will open the file and add it to your library.
The Library is stored in a local database. While I won't be
cavalier about changing the database format, it may happen. If
you're getting database errors after upgrading, delete the database
and reload your files. The database is one of the ones in
~/.local/share/sturmreader.emanuelesorce/Databases
;
read the .ini
files to find the one with Name=BeruLocalBooks
.
The install option target can be used to help build click packages.
First, run cmake with the -DCLICK_MODE=ON
option. Then run from the
build directory
make DESTDIR=<directory> install
This will fill the directory with the contents for the click package, which may be assembed with
click build <directory>
To build clicks from within Qt Creator, add -DCLICK_MODE=ON
to the
CMake arguments of the build settings.
Note that the click package contains .so files, and is therefore limited to the architecture on which it was produced. To produce click packages for other architectures, you'll need to cross compile.
