Porting Evopedia to Meego/Harmattan (N9)
 

Hi,

I'm trying to get Evopedia working on my new N9. I've grabbed the sources (it's written in Qt), and am trying to get it to compile. It compiles/runs on the desktop, and, interestingly enough, it also works in the N9 emulator.

But when I try to run it on my actual phone, the compilation craps out with a error that it can't find bzlib.h. This is a bit odd - where do I get the library, or how to I get it into the toolchain? (I have the QtSDK installed)

Any ideas?

I'm waiting for evopedia also. But I don't know how to do it.

prhone and I are working on it, if someone want to help here's the git repo https://github.com/Iktwo/evopedia we need to redo the ui for harmattan

Re: Porting Evopedia to Meego/Harmattan (N9)
 

prhone has worked a lot in the port, I helped with the UI and here's the result a working 0.1.0 version, you need to provide .evopediarc configuration file and the dump.

That is the missing piece of my N9 (offline maps, offline mails, offline wikipedia), thank you for your work :)

Hello!

I've installed "evopedia_0.4.3-meego1_armel.deb" and how can I add configuration file and the dump now?

Thanks for now.

what is evopedia, can someone give me a briefing about it.

Re: Porting Evopedia to Meego/Harmattan (N9)
 

In short: evopedia provides off-line access to wikipedia (without pictures), so you can read articles when you travel abroad, on the plane, etc..

You need to get a wikipedia dump (a file containing all of wikipedia's text content at a given time, for a give language), which takes several GB. But then, with nokia offline maps and wikipedia offline, it transforms your smartphone into a very awesome tourism guide.

Re: Porting Evopedia to Meego/Harmattan (N9)
 

Is that because it is using bzip to compress the files? I tried to unzip a .bz (bzip) file the other day on the N9 and it didn't work, i.e. bzip isn't installed. So, if someone knows how to install bzip then this should work.

Hi!

I can't make it working also...

Re: Porting Evopedia to Meego/Harmattan (N9)
 

http://dumpathome.evopedia.info/dumps/finished here are the dump archives, but i don't know where to put them

Re: Porting Evopedia to Meego/Harmattan (N9)
 

http://download.wikimedia.org/enwiki...ticles.xml.bz2

The above gives you the latest English wiki database as of 1st October 2012...However, its 8.7GB in size so you would be better served in downloading from the link above by lorenzo...

Oh and latest english dumps: http://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/latest/

hi

this site dump file not work with this app
their format is .dat
i already tested them but nothing :|



which file should i download?
there are some different formats in that address

which format is for the app ? .xml ?

Re: Porting Evopedia to Meego/Harmattan (N9)
 

To get this app running you need a "suitable '.evopediarc'" in /home/user

This is mine:

Code:

---

[General]
darkTheme=true
useExternalBrowser=true

[dump_de_2012-02-25]
data_directory=/home/user/MyDocs/evodic/wikipedia_de_2012-02-25

---

In this data directory is the unpacked dump from http://dumpathome.evopedia.info/dumps/finished

Re: Porting Evopedia to Meego/Harmattan (N9)
 

Any chance to working with this app ? :)

Re: Porting Evopedia to Meego/Harmattan (N9)
 

It is possible. After downloading a dump you need to place a file named .evopediarc in /home/user with content like this:
I hope this helps.

Re: Porting Evopedia to Meego/Harmattan (N9)
 

You have to add in to the config file (located in /home/user/.evopediarc)

[Name of the dump]
data_directory=/home/user/MyDocs/path/to/the/folder

as you can see here

Re: Porting Evopedia to Meego/Harmattan (N9)
 

I thought I did all said above but I get nothing but this message very often, only some "search-matches" are displayed (in german):

"Netzwerkzugriff in der Anwendung gesperrt, Bilder blockiert"

I try to translate:

"access to network in the application denied, pictures blocked"

Also there seems to work no link in any article which is very sad.

What can i do to avoid this and get full functionality?
Having Wikipedia offline is very important for me...

Sorry for my english and perhaps too many words.

Thanks and regards and a happy new year 2015

Edit:
Meanwhile I found my mistake: the dump was not fully downloaded. First I used Opera, but I saw not really when the download was finished (I have almost no experience with torrents).
The second time I used "Transmission", where I really saw when the download was complete. Now it works great.
The only issue that I have is that Evopedia crashes when I tap on an Image, but I can live with that.

Many thanks to developers even if there is no further development.

Regards
