Dear all,

Following up from my <http://news.lugnet.com/cad/?n=12993 teaser> the other day,
I've 'completed' my software to convert image files into ldraw files for use in
sticker making {and} written a little tutorial about getting it to work.

<<http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/timgould/temp/sticker1.png>>

<http://www.lancs.ac.uk/staff/gouldt/img2sticker/img2sticker.html Here> is where
you can download/understand/etc. the software and after that you can look at the
<http://www.lancs.ac.uk/staff/gouldt/img2sticker/tutorial.html tutorial>.

I apologise to all that this version is really for the computer savvy as the
whole thing is written in perl which requires either linux/unix/OSX or Windows
with perl installed (linked to on the download page).

Please let me know if you use this program/enjoy it/hate a certain feature etc.
If people like it (or want a version they can get working on their computer) I
plan on releasing a C version when I can find the energy to rewrite.

Hope this proves useful,

Tim

PS. The code is GPL'd so if anyone wants to mess with it, please do!

Tim,

   I cannot get this installed. I am running Mac OS X 10.3.9, and every
time I run the script,

perl install.pl img2

it creates a directory but then says "Could not copy file at install.pl
line 42." Line 42 (or the 42nd line that I came to when I loaded the
script into pico) is
     `copy img2sticker.bat $d\n` || die "Could not copy file";
img2sticker.bat is definitely in the same directory as the install
script and the destination directory.
   When I try to intall into /Users/'username'/img2 I get
sh: line 1: copy: command not found
Could not copy file at install.pl line 42.


Sorry, I am a bit of a noob when it comes to this stuff, so I don't know
if its me or if Mac OS X is behaving unexpectedly.

Chris

(...) I suspect you will find on OS X, or Linux that you would need to modify copy for cp. It is probably better to use perls own interface to copying, and not the shell. The perl docs for this are all here: (URL) Cheers Orion (19 years ago, 1-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad)
