Port to Android / IOS / Linux #15

Closed ilikelinux69 closed 5 years ago

ilikelinux69 commented 5 years ago

Would like to know if there is already a version for Android available or if there are plans / knowledge to do so in future?

My thoughts are that with Virtualbox and Android all 3 Operating systems could be served already today. And maybe it would accelerate a sync function itself in JWL?

If someone knows already other projects who achieve the same as JWLMerge please let me know. I am also on Twitter with the same nickname.

I made some tests running the program in Wine (Linux - Fedora 30). Till now i had no luck. the log file stops there writing temp files (as user ctjones15 reported). I use Android with newest JWL on my Mobile devices where i wanted to merge the backups.

Do i need some special runtime libraries ?

I installed the .net framework as asked by the installation.

if we find out the database/language the merge the merger file is written in, there is probably aleady an open source tool to database merge file to file

at a minimum, a "diff file a file B | tee diff.log "should be able to be done

@ilikelinux69 Sorry - I have no plans to port it, but the code is open and should be reasonably straightforward. I'd suggest starting with the console aopplication rather than the GUI app.

Alternatively, you can run https://merge-jwl.netlify.app/ in a browser on Android (uses WebAssembly). The source code of this port can be found here https://github.com/abdon-gadgets/merge-jwl. It also has a simple CLI for Linux. Though it is still work in progress.
