Comixer 0.6 Released

Comixer 0.6 for both Linux and Mac (Leopard only for now) have been released and are available on the Downloads page.

This is a very minor bug-fix release to address the creation of books greater than 100 pages. It should be good for up to 1000 pages now, which is hopefully more pages than anyone should ever need.

Update: Also works with Snow Leopard 10.6.8!

You may need to manually rebuild imagemagick to get it to work though. There is a problem with libtiff but I resolved it by opening a terminal and typing:

fink rebuild imagemagick

If Fink isn’t working for you, though, you can try MacPorts instead: http://www.macports.org/index.php

Comixer Released for Mac OSX!

I’m pleased to announce that Comixer 0.5 is now available for, and working, on Mac OS X!  It requires that you have Apple’s Xcode Tools Developer SDK installed, the Fink port manager, and (of course) all the same dependencies Comixer has on Linux need to also be met on Mac – including using the Nautilus file manager, rather than the Finder.  So it isn’t a “Mac Native” Cocoa version, but it does work.  Here’s a screenshot to prove it:

The Downloads page has a DMG file you can download.  Just mount it, run the Install script and – assuming you’ve met all the system requirements and have your X server and Nautilus configured properly the rest is the same as using the program on Linux.  Well, not exactly the same!  The User Manual is set to open in Safari and PDF open in Preview, but other than that is the same.

The dmg download has an automated installer, but if it doesn’t work on your system for some reason there are full manual installation instructions are in the Forums.

(Tested under Mac OS X Leopard, not Snow Leopard, btw).
