Installing on Fedora

Post by sdegrande »

Hi.

I would like to install your software on Fedora. I tried to convert the .deb into a .rpm, but it fails.

Creating an AppImage could help providing a 'multi-distribution' package. It is much lighter than a FlatPack, and easier to use (an Appimage is an executable).

I could help on that subject, if you want.

Nb: I use 'linuxdeploy' for one of the FOSS project I'm contributing to, and it works like a charm

Sure, if you want to convert Bible Analyzer into an Appimage, give it a try. I simply don't have time to deal with it.

I'll try to extract the binary and the assets from the .deb package, but it would much easier if I could get access to the sources... However, they are not public, right ? Or did I miss an information ?

No, its not open source. The binary was made with Pyinstaller and includes the required wx platform. (It was not available in the repositories at the time. Don't know about now.)
