Prerequisities:

• Qt >= 4.6.0
• djvulibre >=3.5.22

Download 'marcion_rc3-linux-x86.tar.bz2' and unpack it. Run executable 'marcion' in main directory. If output of ldconfig -p not contains important Qt libraries (for example if Qt is installed in /opt), edit /etc/ld.so.conf and execute ldconfig, or execute marcion with LD_LIBRARY_PATH .

for example:

bash$> LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/qtsdk-2009.05/qt/lib/ ./marcion

Windows

Download 'marcion_rc3-win32.zip'. Unpack it and run marcion.exe

Tarball

Prerequisities:

these packages are necessary, headers and libraries:

• qt4 >= 4.6.0
• djvulibre >= 3.5.21
• mysql = 5.1.41
• libbzip2 >= 1.0.5
• glibc >= 2.9

you must have installed build tool

• scons >= 1.2.0

If you are using binary packages presented in your distro, ensure, that you have also installed “devel” packages with headers.

Download source package and unpack it. Navigate into directory 'marcion-src' and run scons with these parameters:

qt4lib 

default value "/usr/lib/"

qt4inc 

default value "/usr/lib/qt4/include/"

djvulibrelib 

default value "/usr/lib/"

djvulibreinc 

default value "/usr/include/"

SVN

Prerequisites:

these packages are necessary, headers and libraries:

• qt4 >= 4.5
• djvulibre >= 3.5.21
• mysql = 5.1.41
• libbzip2 >= 1.0.5
• glibc >= 2.9

you must have installed build tool

• cmake >= 2.8

If you are using binary packages presented in your distro, ensure that you have also installed “devel” packages with headers.

Checkout source tree from svn repository.

bash $> svn co https://marcion.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/marcion marcion

Download proper gzipped mysql tar binary archive for your platform into directory 'depends' and unpack it. Create symlink 'mysql' pointed to 'mysql*' directory. (Tested on version 5.1.41, but newer versions should work also. If you have installed mysql in your OS already, you can use variables M_EXTRA_MYSQL_INC and M_EXTRA_MYSQL_LIB) Download data from project page, directory 'devel' file 'mdata.tar.bz2' into directory 'depends' and unpack it. (If you have marcion installed already and you want use data from it, use variable M_MARCION_DATA)

example:

bash $> cd <root-of-marcion>/depends
bash $> wget http://downloads.mysql.com/archives/mysql-5.1/mysql-5.1.41-linux-i686-glibc23.tar.gz
bash $> tar -xzf mysql-5.1.41-linux-i686-glibc23.tar.gz
bash $> ln -sv mysql-5.1.41-linux-i686-glibc23/ mysql
bash $> wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/marcion/files/devel/mdata.tar.bz2/download
bash $> tar -xjf mdata.tar.bz2

Run cmake with these parameters:

M_EXTRA_DJVULIBRE_INC 

default value ""

M_EXTRA_DJVULIBRE_LIB 

default value ""

M_EXTRA_MYSQL_INC 

default value "depends/mysql/include"

M_EXTRA_MYSQL_LIB 

defaultní value "depends/mysql/lib"

QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE 

default value ""

M_MARCION_DATA 

default value "depends/mdata"

CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX 

default value "$HOME/MarcionRC3svn"

examples:

If you have all packages installed in obvious system places and you wish to have installed marcion in '$HOME/MarcionRC3svn', execute

bash $> cmake ..

If you wish to install marcion into different place, for example '/home/user/marc-svn', use variable CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX

bash $> cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/user/software/marc-svn ..

If you have Qt installed in '/opt', GlibC and bzip2 in '/usr', MySql in '/opt/mysql' and DjVuLibre in '/home/user/software' and you want to have Marcion installed into '/home/user/software/marcion', do this:

bash $> cmake -DM_EXTRA_DJVULIBRE_INC=/home/user/software/djvulibre/include \
        -DM_EXTRA_DJVULIBRE_LIB=/home/user/software/djvulibre/lib \
        -DM_EXTRA_MYSQL_INC=/opt/mysql/include \
        -DM_EXTRA_MYSQL_LIB=/opt/mysql/lib \
        -DM_MARCION_DATA=/home/user/software/marcion \
        -DQT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE=/opt/qt/bin/qmake \
        -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/user/software/marcion ..

or alternatively execute cmake in interactive mode and set values in prompt line

bash $> cmake -i ..

After successful configuration execute:

bash $> make
bash $> make install

notes:

Parameter -L shows you current content of all variables in cache.

Crum (query)

Hlavní menu: action->crum-query(coptic)

Shows window with GUI for searching words in Crum's Dictionary. Database is still under construction, for now contains 3350 words, 4837 derivations and over 48 000 indexed items.

Data import:

Content of dictionary is possible to backup into .csv (2 files) or .sql file.(Main menu: database->local->export coptic tables->csv, database->local->export coptic tables->sql)

Data export:

Main menu: database->local->import data

Only for .sql files. Upgrades of database are placed in project page in folder 'extras/crum-data' . After successful import rebuild index.(Main menu: database->local->(re)create index of coptic tables).

GUI contains these components:

• numeric fields (limit of output)
• switch

search word directly

index 

search word through index

• checkboxes

There are two ways how to search in dictionary - directly or through index.

direct search (obsolete)

You can use Latin and Coptic script, mixed also. If option exact is enabled, then non-word chars and spaces are removed after query. Spaces are always ignored. After query inpu text is converted into Latin.

Looks only for complete word, like ⲛⲟⲃⲉ, ⲛⲁⲃⲉ, ⲛⲟⲃⲓ - not ⲣ.ⲛⲟⲃⲉ, ⲣ.ⲛⲁⲃⲉ, ⲉⲣ.ⲛⲟⲃⲓ, ⲣⲉϥ.ⲣ.ⲛⲟⲃⲉ etc.

through index (recommended)

Index contains whole words and their combinations with various kinds of words - so you can search for words like ⲁⲧ.ⲣⲱⲙⲉ, ⲙⲛⲧ.ⲁⲧ.ⲧⲁⲕⲟ, ϯ.ⲡⲁϩⲣⲉ, ⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ, ⲣⲙ.ⲛ.ϩⲏⲧ etc. After import of data of dictionary (files "crumX-Y.sql.bz2") and after manual editing is important to rebuild index (Main menu: database->local->(re)create index of coptic tables). Function resolve of popup menu of toolbox tree shows how index is built.

Library

library

Hierarchy of items of library is ordered in four levels:

• script
• language
• collection
• book

Only collections can be added or removed.

searching

library - search

Main menu: library->search library

components of panel:

list of scripts 

choose script

list of languages 

choose language

list of collections 

collections written in chosen language

• tabs

simple 

search for one word/phrase

extended 

using of logical operators

• switch

word 

search for word

phrase 

search for phrase

numeric fields 

limits of output

• button query

In lists choose language, script and check collections in which will be searched. If collection have no index, then is inactive and cannot be checked.

Types of index:

simple 

All words of verse and entire verse are indexed.

extended 

All words of verse, entire verse, entire next verse and combination of last word of first verse with first word of second verse are indexed.

Items of index are small letters without diacritic. Is possible to search word or phrase in extension of one verse, matched is always regular expression case insensitive without diacritic.

tab simple: Search for only one word or one phrase.

tab extended: logical operators

examples:

option	tab	regular expression	result
word	simple	^(ouaein|ouoein|ouoin)$	returns verse, which contains minimal one of words ⲟⲩⲁⲉⲓⲛ, ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ, ⲟⲩⲟⲓⲛ
word	simple	^ou(ae|oe|o)in$	returns verse, which contains minimal one of words ⲟⲩⲁⲉⲓⲛ, ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ, ⲟⲩⲟⲓⲛ
word	simple	^alhq	returns verse, which contains word beginning αληθ
word	extended	^ui AND ^anqrwp	returns verse, which contains word beginning υι and word beginning ανθρωπ
phrase	simple	ui.+ anqrwp	returns verse, which contains text beginning υι followed by at least one char and space and word beginning ανθρωπ
