Hello,

Can you also provide a crosscompile guide?
I am trying to use that on a device with arm cpu (not rasperry pi).

Thank you!

Hi, Kovid!
In the end of build calibre also need WiX-3.10. Add this dependency in Readme.md.
'C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.10\bin\candle.exe' -nologo -arch x64 -ext WiXUtilExtension -o 'C:\t\t\frozen-5j14ew\wix\calibre.wixobj' 'C:\t\t\frozen-5j14ew\wix\calibre.wxs'
Could not find the program: C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.10\bin\candle.exe

Hi, Kovid!

1. Please, add patch to list of cygwin packages.
2. Also, I think I need to fix absolute path of WiX packages in wix.py because this path include version. Add WiX to PATH environment variable.
3. During build I get some errors:
   Python function terminated unexpectedly

I could not fix only the last error. I did quick fix C:\calibre\src\calibre\test_build.py :)

def test_dlls(self):
        import win32api
        base = win32api.GetDllDirectory()
        for x in os.listdir(base):
            if x.lower().endswith('.dll'):
                try:
                    ctypes.WinDLL(str(os.path.join(base, x)))
                except Exception as err:
				    continue

Question. Kovid, why I get different msi packages (different sizes) after building? After installation fresh msi package, I get error

Python function terminated unexpectedly
No module named filename_pattern_ui (Error Code: 1)

How to fix this?
Thanks!
PS: I build 64 bit calibre

It is broken by the migration of css parser.

Hi,

I managed to install most dependencies, and ran into an error that I cannot understand:

Can you shed some light on what is the root cause of this compile error?

Thank!

Hi, Kovid :)
During building calibre SQLite download page not found. True address is https://www.sqlite.org/2017/sqlite-autoconf-3130000.tar.gz
Correct the file sources.json

Downloading of unrardll failed after three tries, giving up.

Apparently the domain bzip.org is not valid anymore.
I had to hand download from https://web.archive.org/web/20180624184835/http://www.bzip.org/1.0.6/bzip2-1.0.6.tar.gz.
Of course countless other alternatives are available, but current sources.json fails miserably.

Hello,

I managed to built the binaries successfully for armhf.
The command CALIBRE_SRC_DIR=... ./linux 32 calibre created the binary packages (calibre-3.37.0-i686.txz). I extracted the archive to /opt/calibre, and ebook-convert (or similarly other binaries) return the error "Failed to import site module::No module named site".

Can you shed some light on what might have gone wrong?
Thanks!

hello, how can I use mixed page orientations in the same epub file in calibre?
and please how can I make footnotes to be superscripts in calibre?

Acbuild is not maintained anymore and it is not available in mainstream distributions. You need to install from source. How about using Docker instead?

Hi, kovidgoyal
I'm trying to build calibre myself but I'm stuck in the first step ( python setup.py bootstrap)
I got the following error：

I'm using debian 8 to do the builds. What does this OSErros mean?
Thank you!
