DIY Book Scanner

SimpleCV is definitely the way to go. It's much easier to work with than OpenCV (no type conversions) and the unified installer works very well.

I noticed that the SVG icons weren't showing up in the binary at all, so I've converted them to PNG and they seem to work now. I've also fixed the buttons and menu entries.

Can you test this one for the same problems?

Download Bindery 2.7.3 here

After a ton of testing, I think I've fixed Bindery for Windows. I'm not sure what the problem really was but switching back to Python2 and using PyInstaller instead of cx_freeze solved the problems for me. The executable works for me under Windows XP 32-bit SP3. If anyone else could test it, that wo...

Misty, I know this is quite an old post, but could you outline how you made this portable executable?

I should ask Misty about her build procedure, as my pdfbeads EXE fails if ImageMagick isn't installed because RMagick doesn't load. As for my installer for pdfbeads, it's more or less portable. It installs Ruby 1.87, DevKit, ImageMagick, hpricot, compiles rmagick, and finally installs pdfbeads all i...

I've reverted Bindery back to Python2 code and it builds back into a 10mb executable that runs on a clean install of Windows XP SP3. Since Bindery is modular, it will recognize the pdfbeads executable once it is present and will allow you to bind PDF files (by default it's only DjVu). I'll try to ge...

It's a combination of a few strange errors that I can't understand, but that was one of them. The other problem was that I was building on 64-bit Windows 7, which rarely makes executables that work for 32-bit XP. I thoroughly tested my executables on a completely clean Windows XP virtual machine and...

I finally fixed the issue. Apparently those error messages are saying that you need the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable installed. Thank Microsoft for their verbose error messages :x I'm still wrestling pdfbeads. If I can't get it to compile into an EXE properly, I might have to create an ...

I build the executables on Windows 7 64-bit with 32-bit software packages, so it's somewhat hard for me to test things on Windows XP. I'll try installing XP and build things on XP 32-bit, just to see if the compiled packages will work on 7 as well. If they do, I'll switch to XP for development. As f...

For anyone that just downloaded the zipfile, I uninstalled every development library I had to test out how things worked and the only thing that broke was pdfbeads. I'm still diagnosing the problem. A perfect time to find out things are breaking, huh?
