Re: Handspring Visor USB and Evolution

[Joseph Ruscio <jruscio vt edu>]

Keith,

There sure is, but its not necessarily for the faint of heart. As of last 
week you needed to download the source for and compile the following packages 
in this order:

1. pilot-link 0.11.4
2. gnome-pilot 0.1.66
3. gnome-pilot-conduits-0.10
4. evolution 1.0.8

I know binaries for a lot of these packages were in process when I did all 
this so they may be out by now. AFAIK the first evo binary slated to support 
this is 1.1.2beta. 

A lot of people have had troubles with building gnome-pilot due to configure 
leaving a flag out of the makefile, there is info on that in an earlier 
thread in the mailing list. And you don't know the meaning of DEPENDENCY HELL 
until you try and compile evolution, but they do include detailed 
instructions on how to do it, so I guess we can't complain.

I compiled all the above packages and have evolution syncing to my USB Visor 
Edge under Mandrake 8.2

Good Luck!

-Joe
