How to install Tellico 2.3.11 in Xubuntu 14.04

Tue Jun 21, 2016 7:10 pm
Hello,

I just started with Tellico, but I see there is a newer version than the standard in the repository of Xubuntu 14.04 (version 2.3.8). I like to update. Is it possible? And if yes, how to do it? I found the download of the source (tellico-2.3.11.tar.bz2), but how to make there a working program from?

Thx,

J.

Hello,

Hopefully can anybody advise me some. I tried to install Tellico 2.3.11 in Xubuntu 14.04. I followed the instructions from: https://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Telli ... #Configure

I ve got some errors, but don't know how to solve them:
Code: Select all
tellico-2.3.11/build$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` -DENABLE_WEBCAM=true
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindKDE4.cmake:98 (message):
  ERROR: cmake/modules/FindKDE4Internal.cmake not found in
  /home/jop/.kde/share/apps;/usr/share/kde4/apps
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:35 (find_package)

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
See also "/home/jop/Bureaublad/tellico-2.3.11/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".
See also "/home/jop/Bureaublad/tellico-2.3.11/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log".
tellico-2.3.11/build$


What to do now?

Thanks,

Jop

You'll need the KDE development libraries. Install kdelibs5-dev, libxml2-dev, libxslt1-dev, libtag1-dev, libyaz4-dev, libkcddb-dev, kdepimlibs5-dev, libpoppler-qt4-dev, libexempi-dev, libqimageblitz-dev at least, I believe. See if that helps.

@ robbystephenson
Thanks, that kdelibs5-dev was missing.
It is installed, but the webcam for barcodescanning doesnt work yet.

I saw that I have to set
-DENABLE_WEBCAM=true when you run cmake.
But how have to be the complete cmake command than?

cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` -DENABLE_WEBCAM=true
?

Or has "true" within that brakes: `true` ?

In the compiling information I see:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- The following OPTIONAL packages could NOT be located on your system.
-- Consider installing them to enable more features from this software.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* libksane (4.2.0 or higher) <http://www.kde.org/>
Support for adding scanned images to a collection
* QJSON <http://qjson.sourceforge.net>
Support for searching additional data sources, such as OpenLibrary and Freebase
* libv4l <http://hansdegoede.livejournal.com/3636.html>
Support for barcode scanning with a webcam


Please confirm me:
- the correct cmake command and
- Have I to install: libksane-dev, libgjson-dev and libv4l-dev (that are the packages that I can find and which are not installed)?

Thank for reaction.

libksane-dev is for using a scanner to add images
libgjson-dev is for some data source that
libv4l-dev is for the webca, (but that code is pretty old, I'm not sure it works with newer webcams...)

@ robbystephenson

Thanks for explination.

But is this the correct command to enable the camera?
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` -DENABLE_WEBCAM=true

or has it to be:
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` -DENABLE_WEBCAM=`true`

or something else?

Thanks.

I am some futher :)

I can in "Configure Tellico" choose to activate the webcam. :)

If I choose "search" and select #ISBN there is activating a little screen with the webcam view. I can wave to myself :) ;)

But if I show the barcode of a book to the webcam nothing is happend ... :'(

What can it be? It seems that the webcam view should get a signal that it has to search for a barcode? ???

PS. The webcam is pretty old, I think from 2007, it's a Logitech with a microfoon

Sounds like you've made lots of progress, well done!

The code for the webcam scanner was contributed by someone who is no longer active on the Tellico mailing list, I believe. I don't personally have a webcam, so hard for me to answer your questions. The scanning is supposed to be automatic once the video is shown, from what I can tell.

If you compile with the
Code: Select all
 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debug
flag and run Tellico from the command line, you might see some useful debugging output.

Thanks.

I just tested zbarimg, I suppose that it use the same decode software. zbarcam didn't give any result. Only see me stupid waving with a book :)

pictures made with the webcam and decode with zbarimg didn't give any result. First picture with my phone from a barcode didn't give any result. Only a good picture made with my phone could be recognised.

After I tested with the webcam and zbarcam. Sometimes there where some red dots seen if there was enough light and the book very stable :)

GCStar has an option to import with a barcodescanner on your mobile, is that not availible for tellico?
