Problem building Calibre branch: "Package 'calibre:armhf' has no installation candidate" #20

Closed padraic7a closed 3 years ago

padraic7a commented 4 years ago

When trying to build the calibre branch I git clone the repository and then

$ cd sturmreader 

$ git checkout calibre

$ clickable

I then get an error message about "Package 'calibre:armhf' has no installation candidate".

Do you have a PPA I should be using?

Full output from 'clickable' here: https://pastebin.com/BTJkm6Hz I'm running Ubuntu 18.04.

Yes this is a known problem with clickable trying to install dependencies, but I don't know how to solve it. In my workflow I don't get this error. I usually work just using Clickable inside a container on the device, at the end of the day is the same thing. Just connect a device and enter a shell with $ clickable shell Create a debootstrap container in the device $ sudo debootstrap xenial containername It will take around 5/10 minutes. Enter it $ sudo chroot containername. You will need to install the packages you usually use for development such as git, clickable, and everything. Then do the normal steps:


$ cd sturmreader

$ git checkout calibre

$ clickable --container-mode # Remember to use --container-mode

NOTE 1: When installing packages in the container you may need to enable universe and multiverse repository in /etc/apt/sources.list

NOTE 2: You can use a Libertine container too, but I have not tested them

NOTE 3: Hopefully it's my machine, but in the last days I got tons of conflicting packages errors when trying to install clickable and calibre. Still investigating the issue. I suggest to you however to install clickable from the PPA to avoid some possible headache anyway

Ok, I'll give that a go in the coming days when I get a chance. In the meantime I wonder if you have a prebuilt click for the M10 I could test?

Unfortunately I lost it... If I get to build one I'll share it

calibre branch is getting outdated. Since calibre 5.0 is out with python3 support, would be better to restart from scratch with that.
