Would it be possible to have this on the AUR?

If someone wants to try and convert the deb over, be my guest. But I simply don't have time to deal with all the various distros.

Hey, thank you for all you do. I appreciate you taking your time to reply my comment. I will try to see if the AUR repo is good, and if not, then I will use debtap. God bless you.

I'd like to have a crack at getting the Arch AUR version working again. I maintain the AUR packages for a couple other bible apps already.

I'm wrestling with identifying the specific dependencies at the moment. So far I have:
  • Python 3.11
  • python-wxpython 4.2.0 (may have Python 3.11 incompatibility? Awaiting update from Arch core)
  • python-espeak 0.5
Any solid pointers would be appreciated.

Version 5.2, based on Python 2.7, also had additional listed dependencies. Are these (or Python3 equivalents) still needed?
  • python2-pillow
  • python2-configobj
  • xsel
  • gst-plugins-ugly

For Bible Analyzer 5.5 Python 3.10 is the requirement. 3.11 may work, but I have not tried it yet.

python-wxpython 4.2.0 is for Python 3.10. wx 4.2.1 for 3.11 has been released but it is not yet in the repositories.

Any version of eSpeak should work.

Thanks Tim.

I have it successfully launching, leveraging Python 3.10 and python-wxpython 4.2.0, but there's still a couple things to work out (some absent GTK libs). All going well, I hope to have an update on the AUR shortly.

The issues preventing launch that I encountered, were the result of it looking under

Code: Select all

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
for espeak-data and webkit2gtk-4.0 data. In the end I worked around that by creating symbolic links to the correct locations. I mention this in case this is something I might have the ability to configure a bit more gracefully?
