Always looking for a better blog editor for Linux, I just installed Bilbo (recently rename Blogilo for copyright issues). I had some trouble following the process here and getting the Ubuntu packages installed on Linux Mint 6, which you might run into on Ubuntu Intrepid. Manually installing according to this guide also failed. I got ‘class BilboPost’ has no member named ‘setSlug’ upun build among other issues.
So I proceeded like this:
Install dependencies:
sudo apt-get install kdelibs5-dev kdepimlibs5-dev libboost-dev libqt4-sql-sqlite
Get the source from http://www.ohloh.net/p/bilbo/download?filename=bilbo-1.0-src.tar.gz&projects_id=bilbo
Unpack,
sudo tar -xzvf bilbo-1.0-src.tar.gz
Then just follow the steps from the readme:
cd bilbo
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config –prefix` ..
make
sudo make install OR su -c ‘make install’
Then I had to manually install the bilbo.desktop file for some reason, so in the directory where you unpacked bilbo:
sudo desktop-file-install bilbo.desktop
Not sure yet whether bilbo/blogilo is really the ultimate blog client for Linux, but so far it seems stable and feature rich and I’ll retire my Blogjet app for now, the HTML it created was somewhat horrible, with FONT tags and such.
