Not having any luck getting this VM image up and running. Has anyone tried converting the OVF for use on OS X with vmware fusion?

Already been to those sites, but things have changed a bit since that stuff was posted. Unfortunately vmware has discontinued the java based ovftool.jar file that they mention on those sites. I couldn't get the latest binary tool running on OS X, and didn't have any luck trying to use the windows based ovftool.
Giving up on that route for now, will just build my own linux vm.... |

Unfortunately, that VM was contributed by someone else, I've never used it myself. So I can't really help. I'm in the process of switching over to KVM based VMs anyway. Once that's done, I'll see if I can create a new VMware VM for calibre development.

Thanks, I guess I'll have to stick it out in windows or get to know Linux a little better.
I did have a slightly unrelated question. I know Java and am trying to learn python 3.0 now. As I understand it python is not backward compatible. So I'm wondering, it seems that calibre is written in 2.x, yet if I learn 3.0 will I not be able to apply it to calibre? Additionally, does it mean that calibre has to stick to 2.x else you'd have to rewrite everything? Finally, it seems pretty silly, setuptools for example, is still at 2.5 on windows, PyCrypto is on 2.6, imagine all the copies of python one must have to program in it... Is that how python is? Thanks, matt |

I think of python 3.0 as a new language. python 3.0 is not backward compatible. Still it's similar enough to 2.x that if you learn 3.0 you should be able to program on 2.x (the biggest change, at least for calibre style programming is the switch to making everything unicode).
As for calibre, I don't foresee migrating it to 3.0 for at least a couple of years more. |

1) attached to this post should be a zip file contianing the OVF file, replace the one in the directory with the existing ovf and vdmk file with the ovf in the zip file 2) run the ovftool as follows: ovftool --skipManifestGeneration Calibre-devel-F10-XFCE.ovf Calibre-devel-F10-XFCE.vmx 3) that should be it. This needs to be run under linux or Windows (I ran under linux) you can then copy across to the Mac. When you open the VM in Fusion it will ask if you want to update it, you can safely say yes to this. Regards Mark Last edited by kovidgoyal; 08-06-2009 at 10:42 AM. |

Thanks, I just tried it and it worked. The zip and instructions should probably be added to the development page.
