cb2Bib: Installation

 

Perform installation according to your specific target platform.

 

Installing on Unix systems (tarball)

The following is the general, platform independent install procedure.
  • Unpack the distribution file:

    tar -xzvf cb2bib-0.9.5.tar.gz

  • Move to cb2Bib directory:

    cd cb2bib-0.9.5

  • Type the following commands:

    ./configure --prefix /usr/local
    make
    make install

Installation is now complete.

Note: If the ./configure step would fail while having the appropriate QT libraries and utilities installed, try qmake instead of ./configure, and configure manually the required file directories once cb2Bib first starts.

Note: ./configure has the --disable_cbpoll flag to disable clipboard polling. Polling is required to detect clipboard changes on non-Qt/KDE applications. If enabled, compilation depends on X11 headers.

To uninstall type make uninstall from within the cb2Bib compilation directory.

 

Installing on Unix systems (RPM)

To build an appropriate RPM for your platform, type, e. g.,

rpm --rebuild --target=i686 cb2bib-0.9.5-1.src.rpm

or a distro-dependend, equivalent command (perhaps rpmbuild). This will compile cb2Bib and build the required binary RPM (sometimes placed at the /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i686 directory). Once the binary RPM is build, installation follows as above. See also Release Note cb2Bib 0.6.90, and the notes at the download page regarding QTDIR environment if having compilation problems.

To install your RPM binary, simply type

rpm -Uhv cb2bib-0.9.5-1.i686.rpm

To uninstall, type

rpm -e cb2bib-0.9.5

 

Installing on Windows systems

On Windows platforms installation is simple. Just launch the Windows Installer

cb2bib-0.9.5-install.exe

and follow the installation wizard indications. To uninstall, click the 'Unistall' icon.

 

Installing on Mac OS X

To install cb2Bib from its sources, make sure you have the following build tools on your system:
  • Qt toolkit version 4.2.0 or later from Trolltech:

    ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/qt-mac-opensource-4.2.2.dmg

  • XCode from Apple:

    http://developer.apple.com/tools/xcode/

  • bin-utils via darwinports


  • Buiding with make/Makefile:

    Type on a shell window:

    tar -xzvf cb2bib-0.9.5.tar.gz
    cd cb2bib-0.9.5
    ./configure --prefix /Applications/cb2Bib --qmakepath /Developer/Tools/Qt/qmake
    make
    make install

  • Buiding with XCode:

    Type on a shell window:

    tar -xzvf cb2bib-0.9.5.tar.gz
    cd cb2bib-0.9.5
    /Developer/Tools/Qt/qmake cb2bib.pro -spec macx-xcode

    Open cb2bib.xcodeproj with XCode and build from there.

Note:

  • The author does not have a MacOSX account where to test sources and scripts at development time. User feedback is, therefore, extremely important. Please, help to keep above description as much accurate and clear as possible.
