Installing OpenSync?

Currently, there are no OpenSync precompiled, packages, so if you want to test it, you need to build it from sources.

Building/Installing OpenSync? from sources

This page describes the basic steps for building OpenSync, its plugins, and Multisync.

First, go to the download page, and download the OpenSync and Multisync tarballs.

First, extract the OpenSync tarball, and follow the normal installation steps (./configure, make, make install). See the INSTALL file for details.

The OpenSync plugins are on the plugins/ directory inside the OpenSync tarball. You should build them after installing OpenSync. When this document was written, the following plugins were available:

• file-sync, for synchronizing file trees, or storing data from a PIM suite/device on a directory
• evo2-sync, for Evolution 2.0
• kdepim, for the KDE PIM suite

Enter the plugins/plugin-name directory, and follow normal installation procedures (See INSTALL) for the plugins you plan to install.

Multisync can be built using the normal procedures, too (See INSTALL). If you just want to build the msynctool utility, just enter the main directory on the Multisync tarball. If you want to use the multisync GUI, enter the gui directory and follow the INSTALL instructions.

After installing OpenSync and/or Multisync, see SetupGuide for some basic example setups.
