Regarding Enhancements to Go Read Android eBook Reader for the Blind and Visually Impaired

[Sarthak Mehrish]

Hey ,

As I had given my introduction in the last topic I have been interested in working with your organisation. After going through your ideas page for GSoC this year , "Support for multi-language DAISY Books" got my attention and did alot of research on how to implement it.

So should i start coding or should first discuss the idea here and then start.

Sarthak,

Thank you for your interest.  You should refer to the GSoC guidelines about the process.  You are free to contribute to Go Read now, but it would not be counted as GSoC work.  One suggestion would be to figure out what's the problem that many people in this list are having with building the application.  There may be a compatibility issue with the Android SDK and development tools that you could identify and document a fix.

Following are the errors I got while building the application on Windows 7 using Eclipse -

Error 1 - Couldn't find bugSenseKey and applicationKey. 

Solution - Follow Step 2 in HowToBuild.txt .

              Get the developer key from http://developer.bookshare.org.

              Get the bugSenseKey from  www.bugsense.com. Register your project as 'FBReaderJ' and you 'll find the api key under Settings Tab.

Error 2 - Couldn't load the native libraries.

Solution - See solution for error 3.

Error 3 - ndk-build command stop because YOUR APP_BUILD_SCRIPT points to an unknown file.

Solution - Go to Environment Variables(Right Click on MyComputers -> Advanced Settings -> Environment Variables).

               Delete the NDK_PROJECT_PATH  from system variables as it contains an invalid path. 

               Restart cygwin and run ndk-build command followed by ant release .

               Wait for 40 seconds and you 'll see 'Build Successful' at the end.

          

Tip - Follow the cygwin guide given in docs carefully for cygwin steps.
