Bug 77546 – Emerge Multisync fails and claims Evolution >= 1.4 is needed, but Evolution 2.0.2 is installed

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Chris Nielsen 2005-01-11 09:52:21 UTC]

"emerge multisync" fails with the following error:

configure: error: This version of the Evolution plugin (and MultiSync) does only work with Evolution >= 1.4.

!!! ERROR: app-pda/multisync-0.82 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 449, Exitcode 1
!!! econf failed
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.


I have verified that Evolution 2.0.2 is installed and working correctly.
My USE flags do include "evo".


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge multisync
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Multisync begins to emerge, but fails with the aforementioned error message.

Expected Results:  
Multisync should have successfully emerged.

multisync-0.8.2 has:
 evo?  ( =mail-client/evolution-1.4* )

this is because the evolution pluggin in this version version will only work with evolution up to 1.4*

There is no release that works with evo 2.* . I used a cvs snapshot and did some fixing in the ebuild. I'll upload the ebuild in a few minutes.

NOTES:
One probably must add an entry about evo2 use flag to use.local.desc

If after merging you start multisync and dont see the evo2 plugin as root go to /usr/lib/multisync and do a
mv libevolution2_sync libevolution2_sync.so
I still did not have time to track down this issue.
