scantailor-advanced-osx

Homebrew formula and App bundler for Scantailor (Advanced). Now uses Qt6 framework.

See 4lex4/scantailor-advanced for the original project. The project seems to be abandoned, this formula now fetches from the fork vigri/scantailor-advanced

Look at the Releases section for a bundled App (macos12 Monterey x64 and macos10 Catalina x64).

Installing via homebrew

Install script

All automated, execute in your terminal :

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yb85/scantailor-advanced-osx/HEAD/install.sh)"

This script tries to install brew and git if missing. It may ask you to install the command-line developper tools. If both these utilities are present, it clones this repository and install the homebrew formula.

To install the HEAD and not the latest release run

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yb85/scantailor-advanced-osx/HEAD/install.sh)" install --HEAD

Manual Install

  1. clone the repository
git clone "https://github.com/yb85/scantailor-advanced-osx.git"
cd ./scantailor-advanced-osx
  1. with homebrew installed and updated, run :
brew install --formula ./scantailor.rb

Compilation takes time, you can inspect the logs for more details at ~/Library/Logs/Homebrew/scantailor with OS X Console.

You should now be able to run Scantailor from the command-line : scantailor

You can get the bleeding edge instead of a released version with the --HEAD flag :

brew install --formula --HEAD ./scantailor.rb

Bundling your binary

To use the bundler, you need the fish shell (brew install fish) and the utility macdeployqt to do the linking (installed with qt6).

  1. make sure that QT is correctly linked : brew link --force qt6
  2. add the QT bin folder to your fish path : echo 'set -g fish_user_paths "/usr/local/opt/qt/bin" $fish_user_paths' >> ~/.config/fish/config.fish
  3. Simply run bundler/scantailor_bundler.command (you may have to chmod 755 bundler/scantailor_bundler.command)

The bundler script will use the scantailor binary which is in your shell path (the value printed out by which scantailor).
