Major Announcement

I've just discovered that the latest version of KDEPIMPI (2.10), compiled for the Open Embedded project, combined with the libqt-mt.so.3 library (for Zaurus qt3 compatibility) produce a working, stable, PIM suite. The menus, icons, and functions are much better, though it isn't Hildonized. The calendar/to-list is much better, the address book is fully functional, and synchronizing works. The mail progam (ompi) and cell-phone data exchange (kammu, based on gammu) each run but are untested.

Many thanks to: Zautrix (the original author of KDEPIMPI), yonggun on OESF for compiling the package, and tz1 for the qt3 library.

The ".deb" package of the compiled kdepimpi suite is now available for download from the kdepimpi Maemo Garage site. Please see the brief installation notes on that site.


Here's a link to the OESF page with a .deb package of kdepimpi.

Here's a link to the libqt-mt.so.3 library which must be installed before kdepimpi.

Installation Instructions
The following instructions are intended for use via the command line. They
assume that you have sufficient space (~35MB) in /opt, and require commands to
be run with root privileges.

1. install the libqt3 package first.
Code:
wget -nd http://www.zdez.org/libqt3-3.3.deb ; dpkg -i libqt3-3.3.deb
2. install kdepimpi as root with:
Code:
dpkg -i --force-depends kdepimpi_2.2.10_armel.deb
3. append the kdepimpi library directory to the ld.so.conf file:
Code:
echo /opt/kdepimpi >> /etc/ld.so.conf
4. rebuild the library cache:
Code:
ldconfig
5. move the desktop launcher files to the proper directory:
Code:
cd /usr/share/applications ; mv kapi-desk.desktop kopi-desk.desktop kopiemail.desktop kppi-desk.desktop hildon
6. Create the "playwave" file to replace the "playwave" command called by kdepimpi, allowing audible alarms:

cat > /usr/bin/playwave << 'E-O-FILE'
#! /bin/sh
# dummy script to replace playwave as called by kopi. Save this as "playwave" in a
# directory that's in your $PATH
soundfile=$3
exec play-sound $soundfile
E-O-FILE
chmod +x /usr/bin/playwave
