Introduction

BookSmart is a bookmaking application developed by Blurb, Inc. It allows users to design and publish books. Although Blurb do not offer or support a Linux version of BookSmart, it is a Java application which will run on Linux with a bit of fiddling. Website: http://www.blurb.com/

Installation Instructions

These instructions are heavily based on the hard work done by Blurb forum member Cedric Lecuret. His original instructions are here. Firstly, download the latest version of BookSmart from here. Make sure you get the Mac version, not the Windows version. Alternatively, download it from the commandline: wget http://downloads.blurb.com/booksmart/BookSmart_1.9.9.dmg Now install some software to convert the DMG file into something that Linux can mount, such as dmg2img. Follow these DMG2IMG instructions. Then, convert the file using: dmg2img BookSmart_1.9.9.dmg Next mount the disc image:

sudo mkdir -p /macbooksmart
sudo modprobe hfsplus
sudo mount -t hfsplus -o loop BookSmart_1.9.9.img /macbooksmart

And install the BookSmart files:

sudo mkdir /usr/lib/booksmart/
sudo cp -r /macbooksmart/BookSmart.app/Contents/Resources/Java/lib/ /usr/lib/booksmart/
sudo cp -r /macbooksmart/BookSmart.app/Contents/Resources/Java/resources/ /usr/lib/booksmart/ 

The 1.9.9 Mac version of BookSmart will only run under Java 1.5, so make sure that is installed: sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre Now, create a script that can start BookSmart:

sudo echo '#! /bin/sh
cd /usr/lib/booksmart
classpath=""

# Build classpath with all jars in the lib directory
for jar in lib/*.jar
do
classpath=$classpath:$jar
done

/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java -Xincgc -ea -Xms256m -Xmx1024m -classpath $classpath com.blurb.booksmart.application.BookSmart

exit $?
' > /usr/lib/booksmart/booksmart.sh
sudo chmod a+x /usr/lib/booksmart/booksmart.sh

Finally, create a menu item to run BookSmart. Right-click on the Applications menu and select Edit Menu. Add a new entry under the Graphics menu called BookSmart which runs the following command: /usr/lib/booksmart/booksmart.sh

Getting Started With BookSmart

You can now run BookSmart by selecting Applications > Graphics > BookSmart from the menu.
