I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to compiling stuff, I'm afraid!!

I'm OK on kernels etc.... but anything else and my knowledge is
lacking!!!

I used the cvs version of gnome-pilot.

Autogen.sh seems to work.  It does throw up some errors about aclocal:-
#########

i.e.Please run 'aclocal -I m4' to regenerate the aclocal.m4 file.
You need aclocal from GNU automake 1.5 (or newer) to do this.
Then run 'autoconf' to regenerate the configure file.

You might also want to copy the convenience header file gettext.h
from the /usr/share/gettext directory into your package.
It is a wrapper around <libintl.h> that implements the configure
--disable-nls
option.
###########

However I followed the instructions and the errors do not seem to go
away!

Anyway then i run make and get:-

scotgate2:/usr/src/gnome-pilot% make
cd . && /bin/sh /usr/src/gnome-pilot/missing --run autoheader
make  all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/mnt/second/src/gnome-pilot'

Well I really do promise to write up my experiences (whichever I do get
working!!!)

BTW which is the IRC channel?

scotgate2:/dev# pilot-xfer -p 'net://10.10.10.1' -l

   ERROR: No such file or directory
   Unable to bind to port 'net://10.10.10.1'
   Please use --help for more information


Same error message!!

There is no remote machine.  I'm just using this way as a workaround to
try to get it to synch with Evolution.

I can backup my palm quite easily with pilot-link ok!

I think there is one part of this that I am just misunderstanding!! But
what is that???  :-)
