Schadenfreude » converlit http://www.ralree.com Malicious enjoyment derived from observing someone else's misfortune Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:49:15 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Compiling ConvertLit on Ubuntu Linux 9.10 http://www.ralree.com/2009/12/31/compiling-convertlit-on-ubuntu-linux-9-10/ http://www.ralree.com/2009/12/31/compiling-convertlit-on-ubuntu-linux-9-10/#comments Thu, 31 Dec 2009 14:47:40 +0000 Erik http://www.ralree.com/?p=22741 So, ConvertLit seems to be a good solution for those looking to convert LIT ebooks into EPUB (well, into HTML, but then into EPUB…).  Unfortunately, the developers seem to be unable to properly make a good source tarball for version 1.8.  Here’s what I did:

  1. Download Version 1.8 source from here.
  2. unzip clit18src.zip -d convertlit
  3. sudo apt-get install libtommath-dev
  4. Download this to the convertlit directory.
  5. patch -p1 -i clit18.source.patch
  6. You should see the clit18/Makefile was patched
  7. cd lib && make && cd ../clit18 && make
  8. the clit binary should be available in the clit18 directory
  9. sudo cp clit18/clit /usr/local/bin/
  10. Use it!

Now I just have to figure out how to convert it to epub.
