Notes while working on Guiguts packaging

GG tools

Current (1.0.25)

• aspell
  • Windows: http://aspell.net/win32/ -- but 0.5 is the latest available and is not UTF-8 aware
  • MacOS: brew install aspell -- includes a slew of dictionaries as well
• jeebies
  • Source code in guiguts/tools/jeebies
• tidy
  • Windows: https://github.com/htacg/tidy-html5/releases
  • MacOS: included with OS
• gutcheck <-- replace with bookloupe
• kindlegen
  • https://smile.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?docId=1000765211
  • MacOS: brew install kindlegen
• CSS Validator:
  • https://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/DOWNLOAD.html
  • Requires Java to be installed
• HTML Validator (OpenSP, formerly known as OpenJade):
  • https://sourceforge.net/projects/openjade
  • Windows: https://sourceforge.net/projects/openjade/files/opensp/1.5.2/OpenSP-1.5.2-win32.zip
• ppvimage
  • Current version at http://members.iinet.net.au/~dcwilson58/DP/ppvimage-06.zip
  • Current version linked to from wiki page https://www.pgdp.net/wiki/Ppvimage
  • Updated version in guiguts/tools/ppvimage
  • Can it be downloaded from GitHub by PPers who don't use GG?
• guiguts\lib\ppvchecks\*
  • pphtml.pl - update at some point to match Roger's online version?
  • pptxt.pl - update at some point to match Roger's online version?
  • epubfriendly.pl - delete? Out-of-date checks no longer useful (windymilla to check in forum)

Desired

• bookloupe
  • Windows: http://www.juiblex.co.uk/pgdp/bookloupe/
  • MacOS: brew install bookloupe
• ebookmaker (formerly epubmaker.exe under Windows)
  • https://github.com/gutenbergtools/ebookmaker
  • Windows installation of python version is non-trivial - also requires tidy.exe and kindlegen.exe to be on the PATH.
  • Should be runnable from within GG
  • Investigate py2exe?
    • Doesn't run with Python 3.5+.
    • https://github.com/albertosottile/py2exe/releases is a version purporting to support Python 3.5 - 3.7 (latest release Oct 2019)
  • Investigate PyInstaller
    • It can produce single .exe file
    • windymilla tested it on ppgen successfully
    • Ebookmaker is a bigger job [ask Eric/Marshall for help if want to pursue this route?]
• ppgen? : https://github.com/wf49670/ppgen/archive/master.zip or https://github.com/wf49670/ppgen/archive/develop.zip
  • Wiki page on installation: https://www.pgdp.net/wiki/PPTools/Ppgen/Installation
  • Requires Python 3 (but see above - PyInstaller can convert to a single .exe with no Python install needed)
  • Should be runnable from within GG

Other

• DPCustomMono2 / "DPCustomMono3"
  • Replace or include both?
    • cpeel: I think we want to replace it. The big problem with DPCM2 is that it doesn't support Unicode which is going to be much more relevant now.
