Okay, finally got gpe-calendar to run.

Coz i installed the apps offline (don't have connection fixed yet), i need to add things manually. For those who are in the same situation, here are the lib you have to install, on top of those in Xromer's contrib feed:

libsoup
libhandoff
libgnutls
libgcrypt
libgpg-error

All these can be found in the current Beta4 feed.

Some initial results:
Looks quite some new goodies in this version. The view is differernt and richer. Nice.
Found segfaults when: 1) Import; 2) Edit "My Calendar" in the Calendars window. (Interesting that I can set up a new personal calendar but the stock "My Calendar" cannot be deleted or edited. Those who have tried will know what I am talking about. )

Will try the alarm soon.

Overall this version is more polished and good-looking, although the load time seems longer than the older version. But still it's just a matter of 2 or 3 seconds. No big issue.

I'm going on a trip for a week tomorrow. Let me take the GPE pim on the road and see how they fare.

Well, i note these segfaults too, no way to correct as they are not errors, they are problems due to the different version of GTK+ used by the 2 distros.
Everytime the functions gtk_file_selection_set_select_multiple is called to spawn the file selection window, the Zauri tries to get an invalid memory address as i debugged with the help of neal
Infact, if you note, all other functions that use the same libraries in the 2 distros work perfectly.
However, do not worry, sure now Sashz with the new team will upgrade all the packages.
Then the problems will be solved.

Byez!

I've gotten everything to work - except calendar.

I still get the error that gpe-calendar is looking for shared library: libgnutls.so.12

I downloaded the package named gnutls from Xromer's feed - but I still get the error!

Where did you find the libgnutls package that makes your calendar happy?

Thanks!

Uhm......! It' s strange, please see that the files of the package gnutls are linked in your main /usr/lib dir.
Or simply run ipkg-link add gnutls.
If error occours the same, tell me and i will look at the gnutls package if there' s something wrong.
BYEZ!

I finally spent the evening setting up and trying out the cross compiler. The end result is gpesyncd. This is the pda side of the gpe sync solution. From what i understand you can only use this with opensync, which was not hard to build and setup.

If you want to give this a try this is what worked for me (at least well enough to sync evolution and gpe on my 6000. You need a file in .gpe called gpesyncd.allow. All it need to have in it is the ip address of the machines allowed to sync. For example mine just says 192.168.129.1. Then you need to run gpesynd from the command line with the -D switch to start it in Daemon mode.

gpesyncd -D

you will see a message about it starting up on such and such a port.

On the pc side you have to setup libopensync, the gpe plugin and what every other plugin you need.

Excellent work. Everything works out fine except that nsqld is missing. Without it there is no sync with the multisync gpe plugin. The plugin is trying to run nslqd on the Z (via ssh I guess).

I am trying to setup synchronisation (ubuntu dapper) multisync <-> zaurus (pdaXrom gpe apps OldBetas). I'm failing because I am missing nsqld. I tried the ipk for OZ but of cause it did not work. Could you, trich, please provide an updated version of your gpesyncd.tar.gz which includes nsqld. I think it is the last missing thing for me.

Probably it would be better to set up a new gpe-sync thread. I could do that and I would write a comprehensive HOWTO.

Cheers

Olaf

Sorry it took me time to reply. I have had to leave my Z by the wayside to use my treo 700w for work. I have to be able to sync with outlook (or at least exchange or syncml). Im not sure where i got the file you are looking for. I will dig through my backups and see if I can find it someplace. If I can be of any help let me know.

I'm a little confused. What does the GPE prefix mean with regards to these apps? I thought GPE was the WM on OpenZaurus so what's it doing on pdaXrom? Doesn't it mean something else? Will I need some other libraries or WM?

That actually prompts another question I had. When trying different WMs some of the apps didn't render correctly with the new WM and kinda looked like the old. Is this like Visual Styles in Windows i.e. if you've not specifically written it to a certain standard it'll be hard coded to that particular WM?

Forgive my ignorance but it's a bit of a mine field with the Z.

They work fine under pdaXrom as compiled in these feeds (mainly Xromer's one). You are correct about the origins of the apps - they are recompiled for pdaXrom, but same apps so they keep the same names.

Because there are a number of toolkits, widget sets etc under X (gtk, gtk2, qt, etc) there are always a lot of different styles and themes. Some apps shortcut this and simply provide their own hard coded styles, whereas others will support multiple toolkits and use the best available depending on what you have installed. I guess it is similar to the Windows analogy - it all depends on whether each program actually uses what is provided or use their own....

Ok that helps a great deal. Thanks for the quick response.

I basicallly have synchronization GPE on pdaXrom <-> evolution working. I found the missing nsqld. The contacts don't sync because of database issues. Appointments and tasks are working fine except some minor issues. Tasks don't sync their status, for instance. But I keep on trying.

I had to take nsqld from this site: http://wing.nagaokauniv.ac.jp/wiki/index.php?files

karlto · « **Reply #161 on:** August 31, 2006, 03:49:08 pm »

I just updated (yes, I'm very much behind) to the latest version of gpe-calendar etc as in Xromer's feed. The calendar is certainly much nicer, but now the alarms aren't working again! at isn't being called - a file is created in /var/spool/at, but it isn't complete (much like the initial problems with earlier versions).

Does anyone else have alarms working on an SL6000 with the latest versions?

I'm trying to get the gpe-pim apps working under pdaxrom Beta3. I've installed gpe-calendar and all of the dependencies that it installed automagically and asked for at run time. But when I try to run gpe-calendar it gives the error:
"error while loading shared libraries: libsqlite.so.0 can not open shared object file: no such file or directory"
Anyone have advice? grog?

I think there are a couple of different versions of the sqlite package floating around and you need to get the correct one for gpe apps to work - they may even install side by side, but you'll definitely need the one from Xromer's feed.

Antikx · « **Reply #164 on:** September 22, 2006, 11:40:38 pm »

thanks for the quick reply.
ya. I installed the one from the oldbetas feed initially.
I tried installing the one from the beta4 feed after I got this problem, but it didn't help.
