When I tried to emerge multisync-0.81 and found out the palm_sync plugin wasn't built, I tried to edit the ebuild to include it. Building the plugin dies in: checking for pi_socket in -lpisock... yes checking pi-socket.h usability... no checking pi-socket.h presence... no checking for pi-socket.h... no configure: error: You must have the libpisock-dev package installed. ...during configure. Building the palm_sync plugin and/or multisync from the source at their website does the same. However, the missing file is available on my system at /usr/include/libpisock/pi-socket.h, as part of the app-pda/pilot-link package. Compiling pilot-link from original source seems to give the exact same file. The only problem the ebuild seems to have, is not finding the pi-socket.h file. I can code a little although I have no experience with C, so I'm don't know how to solve the problem (although it seems to me this could be as easy as adjusting a path somewhere). For now, I'm willing to test any adjustments and offer any other help on this ebuild :) To reproduce: USE="+pda" emerge multisync (using attached ebuild)
See Bug #35399, Comment #7 by Tom Hendrikx. Ebuild: http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=23609&action=view
I to have the exact same error after doing the exact same procedure.
Hi, I can fix the problem by amending the ebuild to set CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/include/libpisock, however I'm unsure where to correctly add the necessary CPPFLAGS declaration as just defining CPPFLAGS in the ebuild doesn't appear to be passed through. The current hack is: src_compile() { + if [ `use pda` ] ; then + EXTRA_ECONF="CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/include/libpisock" + fi einfo "Building Multisync with these plugins:" ...which appears to allow the palm_sync plugin to build. There is bound to be a nicer way to get this working.

Seems to need a path to libpysock. If I add -I/usr/include/libpysock/ to CFLAGS, it works.
has the new ebuild solved this problem? if so, just close this bug :)
Is there any update on this bug? This "new" bug just celebrated its first birthday. :) Anyway, it appears multisync-0.83_pre20050115 still has the same problem: no palm sync.
Created attachment 49635 [details] app-pda/multisync-0.83_pre20050115 ebuild with palm support This ebuild builds the palm_sync plugin if USE="pda". However the original bug problem (missing CFLAGS) still is valid. To emerge this ebuild succesfully, you'll have to specify the extra CFLAGS on the commandline: CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/libpisock" emerge multisync Note: multisync shows the plugin to me so I conclude that it builds without problems. But since I no longer use a palm (switched to ipod), bugreaders who do use a palm are encouraged to test the ebuild and confirm that the plugin actually works :)
currently the .83-pre ebuild in the tree is a mixture of stable and cvs code. There is no support for the pda/palm_sync in there in this capacity. I will have a proper look in the coming week
Created attachment 56936 [details] app-pda/multisync/multisync-0.83_pre20050115-r1.ebuild not sure if there is a better way to do this, but this ebuild automatically does the CFLAGS='-I/usr/include/libpisock' for the palm_sync plugin.
Comment on attachment 56936 [details] app-pda/multisync/multisync-0.83_pre20050115-r1.ebuild does not work, working on a new one
Created attachment 56954 [details] app-pda/multisync/multisync-0.83_pre20050115-r1.ebuild Ok, this one works. Hope it helps... Credit is given to the above comment #3 Matt Dainty.
