Hi, my name is Andrea and I'm quite new to Linux, so please be patient
with me and sorry if I post a question in the wrong place; if that's the
case, I apologise. Also, sorry for my English.
I used to synchronise successfully my evolution calendar and contacts
with my PDA, running msynctool in Ubuntu 10.04. Today I upgraded to
Ubuntu Maverick and, as far as I can understand, msynctool is no longer
supported by Ubuntu. So I believe I can install it by myself from source
(is that correct?).
So, I downloaded libopensync-0.22 and msynctools-0.22 source packages,
and successfully installed them. Then, AFAIK, I should install the
plugins (evo2-sync-plugin and synce-sync-plugin I guess). So I
downloaded them also, but:
running ./configure for libopensync-plugin-synce-0.22 returns
"configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables"
running ./configure for libopensync-plugin-evolution2-0.22 returns
"configure: error: No compatible evolution-data-server was found" (I
checked and found that evolution-data-server-dev seems already installed
on my system)
So, now I was wondering if I should go on investigating these errors, or
I am messing up the whole thing, and decided to ask for help.
Is there a way to get my problem solved? Could I have some hints please?
Note that after the distro upgrade the files of my PDA still do
syncronize with the PDAFiles folder in my ~, even if with some strange
behaviours that were also present before the upgrade.
Thank you,
Andrea
