# PbDbFixer
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Motivation
|
||
|
|
Since Pocketbook has some problems with extracting metadata correctly from
|
||
|
|
EPUB files, this program tries fix these issues. It tries to identify
|
||
|
|
wrong database entries and fix it by reading the corresponding epub
|
||
|
|
metadata.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Compatibility
|
||
|
|
This program is tested only on a PocketBook Touch HD 3 device (software
|
||
|
|
version 6.1.900). It might work with other PocketBook devices/software
|
||
|
|
versions. Please tell me, if it works for you (do make a backup of these
|
||
|
|
explorer-3.db before trying!).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Installation and Usage
|
||
|
|
Just copy the executable file into the PocketBook's application directory.
|
||
|
|
If you encounter duplicate authors in the PocketBook's library, open the
|
||
|
|
applications screen and tap on the PbDbFixer icon.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Build
|
||
|
|
To be able to build PbDbFixer, you have to have the cross compiler for
|
||
|
|
ARM CPUs installed. On Arch Linux, the AUR package `arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc75-linaro-bin`
|
||
|
|
does the job. Don't forget tell `cargo` which compiler/linker it has to
|
||
|
|
invoke. In my case, I hat to edit `~/.cargo/config`:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
[target.arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi]
|
||
|
|
linker = "arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc"
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
Now you can easily compile the stuff by invoking
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
cargo build --release --target=arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi
|
||
|
|
```
