Emulator?
I'd like to try OI, but the only ebook device I have is a Sony PRS-500. Is there an emulator available, or can I run it inside a VM, etc on my desktop? Thanks

So, no way to run it without one of the supported devices? Do developers have to reflash a device everytime they want to test something?

There is no emulator yet. You can try to compile and test madshelf, fbreader and coolreader on your desktop.

But the one you've mentioned is also up-to-date, though it describes the actual building the apps for the target device. |

I'm trying to build madshelf on Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid) following the instructions on http://openinkpot.org/wiki/MadShelf.
I'm stuck at this bit: Quote:
sudo apt-get install git git-svn git checkout http://git.openinkpot.org/libextractor-dummy.git/ but it says "not a git repository". What do I need to do? Thanks |

Great, thanks. I got the code. Now what? :-)
Am I supposed to install libextractor-dev from the repository, then add overwrite using this extractor.h? |

You can install either one or another, libextractor-dummy just does not pull the unnecessary dependencies.

OK, thanks. For simplicity, I just installed libextractor-dev from the repository.
autoreconf now runs, but I get the following error from configure: Quote:

Hrm. Thanks for your help guys, but I think installing a whole new window manager is more than I'm up for :-)
