Bug 71113 – multisync refuses to config when evolution2 is installed

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Helmut Eberharter 2004-11-13 19:17:16 UTC]

in the config, multisync checks if evolution is installed. the corresponding code from 'multisync-0.82/plugins/evolution_sync/configure'

~~~snipp~~~
EVO_VER=`evolution --version | sed -e 's/.nome .volution //g'
EVO_MAJVER=${EVO_VER:0:1}
EVO_MINVER=${EVO_VER:2:1}
[...]
if (( EVO_MAJVER > 1 || [...]
~~~snapp~~~

this doesnt work, cause evolution (in my case) propts its version as 'Gnome evolution-2.0 2.0.2'

i managed it to make the config work here. just changed this line

EVO_VER=`evolution --version | sed -e 's/.nome .volution //g'`

to

EVO_VER=`evolution --version | sed -e 's/.nome .volution-//g'`

i think this will be a problem for everyone out threre using evolution2

multisync also posts an error if you already have it installed when you try to use  the evolution plugin.

i forgot: you have to set the 'evo' use flag, or else you won't have the config problem.

even tho it compiles, it doesn't work with evo 2.0? according to multisync homepage, the cvs version works with 2.0.

you're completely right, Alastair Tse.
was my fault.
