Installation and startup
More useful is to install all fonts from folder 'fonts' into your OS and turn off switch load internal fonts at startup in form settings (Main menu: application->settings ). Fonts SP Tiberian and SP Achmim are used due grammar of J.M. Plumley
Linux
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
Building from sources
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/"
mysqllib default value "/usr/local/mysql/lib/"
mysqlinc default value "/usr/local/mysql/include/"
bzip2lib default value "/usr/lib/"
bzip2inc default value "/usr/include/"
glibclib default value "/usr/lib/"
glibcinc default value "/usr/include/"
install no value
installdir default value "/opt/marcion/"
Assign to each variable correct value. You can also edit file 'SConstruct' and into command beginning with 'd=env.ParseFlags' insert additional flags for compiler.
example: 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 $> tar -xjf marcion_rc3-src.tar.bz2
bash $> cd marcion-src
bash $> scons qt4lib=/opt/qt4/lib qt4inc=/opt/qt4/include \
djvulibrelib=/home/user/software/djvulibre/lib \
djvulibreinc=/home/user/software/djvulibre/include \
mysqllib=/opt/mysql/lib mysqlinc=/opt/mysql/include \
install installdir=/home/user/software/marcion
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.

Dictionaries
Coptic (Crum)
printed (djvu)
right|thumb|100px|Crum
Main menu: action->crum (coptic)
Dictionary is viewed by DjView component, so you can use all features of this browser. On the top panel is an editable combobox containing letters for navigation through dictionary. You must select char(s) from list or insert two chars (one char + space). Chars can be latin or coptic (table).
text (mysql)

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
direct 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.

Hierarchy of items of library is ordered in four levels:
script
language
collection
book
Only collections can be added or removed.
maintaining
add collection
Main menu: library->import collection případně database->local->import data
Files with collections (.sql or compressed .sql.bz2) are stored in folder 'data/backup' and on page of project in folder 'texts'.
create index
popup menu of library component: index->create index
Collection can be searchable only if index of it is built. Informations about state of collections shows popup menu of library component: index->show .
remove collection
popup menu of library component: delete a delete all
If collection is deleted, is deleted its index also.
searching
right|thumb|100px|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:
optiontabregular expressionresult 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
