Compiling documents fails: Encoding Pragma is no longer supported (Bug #565)

Description

The compilation does not work anymore. I am on ArchLinux. The error message is as follows:

 $ auto-multiple-choice       # then clicking on compilation in the GUI 
 The encoding pragma is no longer supported at /usr/lib/AMC/perl/AMC-prepare.pl line 21.
 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib/AMC/perl/AMC-prepare.pl line 21.

Can be fixed by changing the appropriate lines in the code:

sudo sed -i 's/use encoding "utf-8";/use utf8;/' /usr/lib/AMC/perl/*.pl
sudo sed -i "s/use encoding 'utf8'/use utf8/g" /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/AMC/*.pm

This replaces the calls `use encoding "utf-8"` with `use utf8`. The changes should to be integrated in ACM soon, s.t. users without knowledge of the command line can still use ACM. I am unsure which files to change though.

Thanks for the report. These changes were applied in git:43eadf65. Maybe you can switch to the development version (or 1.4.0~beta1).

Hi Alexis, thanks for the answer. I cannot get the git version of AMC compiled because of docbook.sty not being found. I do have dblatex installed which includes docbook.sty (https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/any/dblatex/files/). I am on ArchLinux. Am I missing something here?

Maybe you can start from a "dist" archive, where the documentation is already generated: this should be less tricky.
Latest version (from the tags page): https://gitlab.com/jojo_boulix/auto-multiple-choice/uploads/752bcd6a19915b66683330840e7e627b/auto-multiple-choice_1.4.0-beta2_dist.tar.gz

Ok this seems to work. However, the data capture does not working. All boxes are ticked when I automatically added photocopies. When I look at the scan manually I can switch between scan and original. In the original every box is ticked, while when I look at the scan then I see the correct photocopied sheet by the student. Of course I checked the layout, and there the boxes were correctly detected.

Might this have anything to do with the compilation (which takes just a second or so)?

What can you see in the "zooms" window?
What is the value of Preferences/Project/Automatic data capture/Darkness threshold?

There are no boxes. Its just grey (background color). So the boxes weren't found and extracted in the analyzing process, I guess.

What is the value of Preferences/Project/Automatic data capture/Darkness threshold?

The threshold is 0.15. Upper threshold 0.75.

Btw, the about page sys it's AMC 1.3.0, whereas I used the 1.4.0 beta download. That's just not updated yet, right?

The about page should mention the right version.
Did the install work properly after the build?

Ah I started the "binary" in the folder with ./auto-multiple-choice. Just figured this is not a binary but rather a script :) After installing I got

Can't locate Gtk3.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Gtk3 module) (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.26/site_perl /usr/share/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.26/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.26/core_perl /usr/share/perl5/core_perl) at /usr/lib/AMC/perl/AMC-gui.pl line 23.

Meaning I missed the library perl-gtk3. It seems to work now.

Nice interface, and thank you very much.

PPS.: one can compile it by ignoring the documentation build. Just edit the file `doc/Makefile` by changing the `all:` directive to:

# all: $(SELECTED_DOCBOOKS:.xml=.pdf) $(SELECTED_DOCBOOKS:.xml=.x) $(IMAGES:.svg=.png) $(MODELS:.d=.tgz) html/index.html;
