Re: [Koha-devel] [Koha] New Koha Offline Circulation tool
The program needs to be in the same directory with those dll file. Just extract the folder, put where ever you wish, and create a shortcut to the program on your desktop. That should be all you need to do. I just tested it on a Windows XP machine that has never had it before and it worked fine. There is no need to remove the old program. You can use either one, but the borrowers.db file format is different for each.

Kyle-
I am trying to install the new version but can not seem to get it to work. I keep getting an error that tells me that it is "Unable to Locate Component". Specifically it says, " This application has failed to start because mingwm10.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."
Mingwm10.dll shows up in the list of downloaded items. I have also tried the download and extraction twice.
Just to play it safe I deleted the old Offline Circ program (was that necessary?).
Please help; I need to have an operating Offline Circ program ready!

Hello All, I would just like to announce that I've rewritten my Offline Circ program from the ground up. This version is written in C++/Qt4. The benefit over the previous version is improved stability, no need to install other components ( i.e. Gnope ), and it looks a bit nicer as well. It outputs the same .koc format the previous version does. If you want to use the borrower search feature, it requires a borrowers.db file in the SQLite3 format, rather than SQLite2 which the older version used. I've submitted a patch for the create_koc_db.pl script to add support for both versions.

Please check it out and let me know what you think. I'd be very interested to hear any suggestions for more improvements to it.
Thanks, Kyle

Hi Kyle Nice work, this looks like a really useful tool. A couple of questions, what license are you releasing it under (I couldn't spot that information, but it's early morning so I might have lack of coffee blindness) And by the .dll talk I'm guessing this is a windows only tool? Chris
I'm releasing it as GPL software ( it hadn't even occurred to me to do otherwise ; ). I should add something about that in the About dialog. Being written using Qt4 makes it completely cross-platform. I actually developed it on my Ubuntu machine. The DLL's are the Qt4 dlls neccessary to run it under Windows. I haven't quite figured out how to release it for Linux yet, but you can always compile it from source ; ) The source code is on sourceforge: http://koha-tools.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=koha-tools/koha-offli... I was so excited to get it finished and released, that I hadn't thought about that. For the next update I will include a reference to it being Open Source software, and a link to the source. I'll put the info on the website as well.
