Build for Mac? #234

Open jaimejim opened 5 years ago

jaimejim commented 5 years ago

On Mac you actually can't read mobi on iBooks, nor load a local .mobi library on kindle. Calibre's interface looks like shit so I'd be more than happy to use bookworm instead.

Would it be feasible to compile it for mac? If not, could it be added to macports?

@jaimejim I just got a macbook air this week, have not checked out iBooks yet. Would definitely like Bookworm to work on Mac (and Windows) - while vala can be compiled on Mac and Windows, the other command line features (html to text, back ground process to add books to library, etc) use Linux CLI utilities and could not be ported easily. I need to find out a way to use these functionalities in a programmatic way by using required libraries.

Will keep this issue open to track and focus on this when I have completed all the other essential features.

I think you can load individual mobi files in the Kindle app, just not add them in a batch?
