I got Booksmart to run fairly easily under Wine by looking at what this guy did.
http://www.jonrogers.co.uk/2009/09/blurb-com-booksmart-in-linux/
That took about 5 minutes and it all seems to be there.
However, seeing as I have the files.....
My understanding is that it is usually thought better to use the Mac version of Booksmart and use the directions found here:
http://www.jonrogers.co.uk/2009/09/blurb-com-booksmart-in-linux/
I tried and failed so far to do this. However have files that say: BookSmart_3.3.2.dmg and booksmart.sh
I have totally failed to convert the dmg to img and cannot make booksmart sh run in the terminal.
Seeing as I have them downloaded, I thought I might as well persevere and make a comparison. Can anyone tell me why whatever I do I get 'no such file' when the files are saved? -I have tried putting them both into the home directory and on the desktop and still get 'no such file or directory.
Also, if anyone did do the comparison already, would I be wasting my time persevering to get the mac version running? No point in reinventing the wheel unless it is worth the work.
Not the first time I messed around for ages only to discover a quick solution using Wine, but my impression is people sort of thing Wine conversions a bit inferior?
Thanks
