Description Preston 2005-01-21 15:42:54 UTC
I upgraded from multisync-0.82 to multisync-0.83_pre20050115.  I emerged using the line "USE=irmc emerge multisync" on the upgrade.  All the builds went fine, but when I start MultiSync everything is fine, but it does not find the IrMC plugin.  I uninstalled MultiSync and remerged it again and had the same results.  I unemerged the package and force installed 0.82 and IrMC is now back.  The plugin is getting built in both versions but apparently it is not getting linked properly somewhere because MultiSync can not find the plugin.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge multisync with "USE=irmc emerge multisync"
2. Launch Multisync and see if it has the IrMC plugin available
3.

Actual Results:  
IrMC was missing from MutliSync

Expected Results:  
IrMC should be in the choices of plugins for using to sync with within MultiSync
Comment 1 Martin Benz 2005-01-22 01:41:22 UTC
Same here - use-flag for irmc activated, the files are installed in /usr/lib/multisync/, but not shown in the plugins-list when you're running multisync.
Comment 2 Lars Weiler (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-01-22 08:18:39 UTC
Appearently the .so-files won't be created.  If you do

ln -s libirmc_sync.0.0.0 libirmc_sync.so
ln -s libirmc_bluetooth.0.0.0 libirmc_bluetooth.so

in /usr/lib/multisync and restart multisync, it also shows the IrMC Plugin.
Comment 3 B. Keroack 2005-01-22 09:59:57 UTC
This also happens with the Opie plugin (multisync-0.83_pre20050115).

$ ls /usr/lib/multisync
[...]
libopie_sync@
libopie_sync.0@
libopie_sync.0.0.0
libopie_sync.a
libopie_sync.la
[...]

Adding the symlinks for libopie_sync.so and libopie_sync.0.so solves the problem.
Comment 4 gad.kadosh 2005-01-23 15:46:03 UTC
same behaviour here too
Comment 5 Harald Leiner 2005-01-26 01:08:22 UTC
same here with opie and irmc plugin.

it looks like the links are created correctly, only the filenames for the shared objects are wrong.

multisync seems to look for libPLUGINNAME_sync.so, but the opie and irmc plugins miss the ".so" in their filenames.

after emerge:
# cd /usr/lib/multisync
# ll
-rw-r--r--  1 root root   39454 26. J

I only created these symlinks to get it working:
# ln -s libopie_sync.0.0.0 libopie_sync.so
# ln -s libirmc_sync.0.0.0 libirmc_sync.so
Now it finds the libPLUGIN_sync.so that multisync expects.

on a side note, I had to change the syncpair files in ~/.multisync/*/
from evolution-sync to evolution2-sync, as I now use evolution 2

I havwe been looking into this and am unable to re-create this at all.
I will be releasing a slightly updated ebuild shortly, if you would like to test.
it will be -r1.
please let me know what the outcome for you is.
