About this Fork

The original fork was made to be used in *NIX systems. I have a Windows machine and needed to use the project and thus this fork.

Installation

• Install a perl distribution. I used ActiveState's ActivePerl after encountering some issues with Dwimperl. Being a perl noob and handicapped on a Windows machine, I decided not to go debugging.
• Install the required perl modules using ppm.
• Open a (Windows) command prompt in the project folder directory and execute commands to generate your required ayaat/pages. I was not able to run it in a bash emulator but then again I'm a novice.

Usage Examples

Ayaat in batch:

perl generate.quran.ayah.pl --width 162 --em 1.62 --batch

Single Ayah:

perl generate.quran.ayah.pl --width 262 --em 1.38 --sura 2 --ayah 255

etc...

Examples

Note: The links of examples from the original project are dead. I might add some to this fork later on.

TODO

• From the original repo: Refactor and improve generate.ayah.pl
• Check if all the functions with folder links are edited to work in Windows. Currently only single ayaat and pages have been tested but that too not extensively.

License

The code is copyleft GPL (read: free) but the actual fonts and pages (in the 'data' directory) belong to the [King Fahed Glorious Qur'an Printing Complex in Saudia Arabia (http://www.qurancomplex.com)
