Librecite is a proof of concept of a QT app that provides a free and libre way to produce citations of books, websites, and more. It uses the CSL format to process citations and convert them to the proper format.
The majority of the code is in C++ with some Python for key components such as the CSL processor. If someone were to write a processor in C or C++, I would be very grateful.
If you wish to contact me, your best bet is [email protected] or via Github.
WARNING: APPLICATION ISN'T DONE AND THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE REALLY ROUGH. INSTRUCTIONS WILL BE UPDATED AS PROGRESS IS MADE
Libraries used for this project are QTWidgets, CPython, citeproc-py, citeproc-py-styles and BibTexParser. All python libraries are Python3. You will need to make sure their equilivents are installed on your distro. Currently, things are Unix only.
The file that produces the make file is librecalc.pro. Unfortunately, the INCLUDEPATH and DEPENDPATH variables are currently hardcoded. You will probably need to modify them to point to the headers for your python3 header files. Hoping to come up with a solution for this.
To obtain a Makefile, type qmake -o Makefile librecalc.pro while
you are in the src directory.
To compile the program, type make.
