Talk:Wikix
After compiling, this script creates in my installation when calling with wikix -p {path-to-xml-dump}:
# ls -lah image?? -rwxr-xr-x 1 me me 0 2007年07月16日 19:46 image00 -rwxr-xr-x 1 me me 0 2007年07月16日 19:46 image01 -rwxr-xr-x 1 me me 0 2007年07月16日 19:46 image02 [...]
Obviously, the scripts are being created, but they are empty.
Also, in Wikix there is a reference to command line option. Besides the parameter -p, what options are available? Regards --asb 02:52, 18 July 2007 (UTC) Reply
I found it in wikix.c:
USAGE: wikix -htrciop < file.xml [ > script.out ] -h this help screen -t use xml dump to strip from tree -r wikipedia path -c commons path -i image path -o output path -p parallel (16 process) mode

Has anyone got this to compile under freebsd?

asb you need to write
wikix -p < {path-to-xml-dump}
not
wikix -p {path-to-xml-dump}

When I try to do "wikix -p < *.xml &" (*=name of file), I get this error every time: 'bash: command "wikix" not found'. What's wrong?

Re: wikix not found
Billy, you probably just need to run it with the full path (i.e. /some/dir/where/wikixwasbuilt/wikix), or drop it into /usr/local/bin so your shell can find wikix in your PATH (do echo $PATH to find that).
Unable to compile the program
I extracted the contents of wikix.tar.gz at home/user/wikix a folder named wikix was created. I installed these packages(sudo aptitude install libssl-dev build-essential curl) I used this command at the terminal ( cd /home/user/wikix) to accede the folder. Then i typed make and i got this error message: make: Makefile: Permission denied make: *** No targets. Stop.
can you help me please? I use Ubuntu 8.04.1 Hardy Heron
thank you very much--Biris 10:05, 1 October 2008 (UTC) Reply
The permissions in the tar file are incorrect. To fix this run the command chmod 644 * before you run the make command --six—01:03, 17 December 2008 (UTC)137.132.250.12
Unable to compile wikix
I am using wikix based on Cygwin, a linux-like environment in windows. But when I run make, some errors happened:
wikix.c:798: undefined reference to '_MD5' wikix.c:806: undefined reference to '_MD5'
row 798 in wikix.c is: MD5(lp, strlen(lp), md5_out); row 806 is: MD5(ulp, strlen(ulp), md5_ulout);
If I comment these two rows, there is no error. But after I run image_sh, no image can be download. Could you help me please? Thank you very much!

batch download of photos including metadata
Is there any way to download photos from one isolated category of wiki commons (including title, description ...)? Any suggestions/help would be highly appreciated!!!
what dows each option means
What does each option means? I'm not sure. Could anyone help me? Thanks.
Don't use Wikix if you don't want to be blocked - a user experience...
It should also be noted that using Wikix can quite certainly make you blocked from accessing Wikipedia whatsoever... :( So use it at your own risk. I am blocked from accessing any of Wikimedia's sites for already 4 days and the only "abuse" I did was using Wikix... Wikimedia's admins told me I was using "remote downloading" and didn't explain me how using Wikix on a slow (2 Mbps) link can be called "remote downloading".
downloading thumbnails in the place of full images
have some methot or change in the code of wikix software to download only thumbnails?? The ammount of image data is too high. Some images has not download complete( My imternet access is slow 128.kbps) I prefer download the thumbsnails to see more pretty my wiki, and retrict the full view of all images. --Enriluis 16:22, 14 July 2009 (UTC) Reply
