Howto Configure the Connector for Ubuntu

[cyclebrock]

Finally got it. I think because 1, this is a fresh install, and 2. I'm not a programmer, I didn't have a lot of the dev specific tools on this laptop.

The last one I needed was libtool, that and to run make and make install as root.

The only other thing I should have know was one of my directory's had a space in it, which threw off the make and make install

Thanks again. now off to torture test it.

Cheers

Ok, I got this to work, but I can't pull in any shared calendars. Anyone else having this problem?

Do you get a login-prompt for the shared calendar?

If no: Change the name of the shared calendar. The evolution plugin can't work with names that contains white space or any special characters. Restart evolution, or just wait and you will get a login prompt. Just provide your own login.

if yes: no idea yet.

Out of interest, what type data did you use? Obviously i dont want to know your personal data, but I'm wondering what format that use_ssl is. And did you use port 80 + SSL or just 443?

I managed to get the plugin compiled for gutsy. I've used checkinstall and uploaded a deb here:

MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service

The calendar binaries I've uploaded too:

MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service

Hope this is useful to someone. I dunno if this will sort out the dependencies for you - YMMV

Thanks.

I've created a deb for gutsy. This forum keeps deleting my posts with the mega-upload links in it. If you know the address of that site, it's at:

?d=C9CD4XFA

and the calendar binaries are at:

?d=79I0J3JF

It was created with checkinstall so i don't know if it'll handle dependencies for you.

BTW: What data do you guys use for create-account? is use_ssl TRUE/FALSE/YES/NO?
If you use https, do you use 80 YES or 443 no?

Cheers.

Hi,

I'll love to get this going with Ubuntu 7.10 , I have performed the following ;

svn co Revision 850: /trunk/ZimbraEvolution

Then I have edited the configure.ac file as per recommendations

Then I performed

sudo apt-get install automake evolution-dev libglib2.0-dev intltool libtool evolution-data-server-dev libcurl3 libcurl3-dev

Next, I edited configure.ac , and ran sudo make

This fails with ; checking for EPLUGIN... configure: error: Package requirements (evolution-plugin-2.12) were not met:

No package 'evolution-plugin-2.12' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.


However - synaptic claims that evolution-plugin is installed on the system.

I have used the following to grab the SVN ;
svn co Revision 850: /trunk/ZimbraEvolution

Just so you are aware the new url is https://sourceforge.net/projects/zimbraevo/

[gnyce1]

The syntax is slightly wrong... it's not evolution-plugin-2.12, think it is just evolution-plugin. Follow these two posts, they'll help you get it compiled:

I _think_ I used "1" for use_ssl (as we do use SSL). No longer have that laptop available, so can't test, sorry.

I did something similar, although I did some additional digging.
It's just too late at night for me to check in camel-zimbra-listener.c to see if I can figure out whether the reference to the file should be changed to something else or not, but in case anybody else is working their way thru this with Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon (7.10), it *is* possible to get this far anyway!

I made it this far as well, but I can't seem to get past this. Anyone out there gotten this working?

You will need to copy several of Evolution's header files over from the GNOME SVN to /usr/include/evolution-2.12/shell/ and they are:

e-shell.h
e-component-registry.h
e-shell-window.h
e-siderbar.h

Then the environment is ready for your rebuild. I hope this helps.
