Hi Josepinto,

I compiled it, but I don't know what Puppy you use so it may not work. Let me know which Puppy you use and I'll try and compile it right for you.

Personally, I'd like it for a 4.3.1 hard drive install.

Hey, sorry guys, I had no luck getting it to work in 4.3.1 because it couldn't detect sqlite, even though it was installed on the system. I found this comic reader though,

All it requires is java and you're good to go.

There's QT3-based qcomicbook.

Another option is to compile Evince, which will get you a combined PDF, postscript, DjVu, and Comic reader. Fluppy has it, I think 2.14X has it, but I don't know if anyone's built it for other Puplets. If you use an older version of Evince, it'll compile without the need to update libpoppler.

Hi, I am the author of ComicMaster. Found this discussion via Google. Would have been easier you contacted me to help you solve installation problems, than talk here. Wink

I am always willing to help and also open for feature requests.

@battleshooter
When you have sqlite installed, but ComicMaster cannot find/use it, I suspect two possible problems.

1. Wrong version of sqlite (sqlite2?). Most unlikely.
2. You Qt libs are compiled without sqlite support.

I don't know what packaging system Puppy Linux uses. Some other distributions split Qt in several packages with one of them database support.

Oh hey man,

Thanks for dropping by. Sorry about not contacting you, it's just that the concept is completely foreign to me. When I try to compiling something and it doesn't work, I usually assume it's my fault, and just leave it. I wasn't saying ComicMaster was a bad program or anything, just that I couldn't make it available for Puppy so offered other solutions.

Thanks for the tips though, I'll take a look and give it another shot. I'll let you know how it goes too if you want.

Ok, I'd be glad to give it a go. Hopefully I'll have time this weekend.

yes 2.14x has evince, I forget if I included the comic plugin, hmmm anyone have a comic link where I can test it?
I came across ghunter which says its a comic viewer, but I can't see it because its sooooo small of a app.

There's also a shareware ($10 to buy) app, that works out of the box, it only has a nag screen and never runs out of share time.

just extract it and click on /RadicalCodexTar/radicalcodex
its actually very nice app.

Hi Kumosan,

How does link you gave me compile, by qmake in the src directory or cmake . in the main folder?
