Google contacts and calendar akonadi resource Adenilson Cavalcanti == Features == === what works === - contacts: retrieve/add/edit/delete/query-by-updates (i.e. fast-sync) - calendar: retrieve/add/delete/query-by-updates (i.e. fast-sync) Network proxy can be defined in KDE System Settings and the resource will use it. Passwords will be stored in KWallet, for while only 1 account is allowed (I highly recommend to use it together with KWallet, because it makes possible to query by updates automatically whenever akonadi/kde is restarted *without* re-entering the account details). For hosted accounts (i.e. joe.bar@whatever.com), just input the whole user id plus server name in configuration dialog (i.e. joe.bar@whatever.com). For normal google accounts (i.e. joe@gmail.com), just the username is required (i.e. joe). === Restrictions === Only the main calendar is supported. Recurrent events are not supported, the reason: google uses an invalid iCal inside of the XML to represent recurrence). http://code.google.com/apis/calendar/data/2.0/developers_guide_protocol.html#CreatingRecurring == Dependencies == It requires libgcal 0.9.4 (hosted accounts, fast-sync workaround for gcalendar and support for multiple email addresses and telephones). Some linux distributions already include the newer version of libgcal. It also requires: boost C++, xsltproc, akonadi devel libraries. === libgcal === You will need to have libxml-dev and libcurl-dev with openssl (plus ca-certificates to do authentication with google) to compile libgcal. In ubuntu, the packages are: libcurl4-openssl-dev, libxml2-dev, ca-certificates. - checkout the code: $git clone git://repo.or.cz/libgcal.git or $git clone git://gitorious.org/libgcal/libgcal.git - configure and compile, you can use either autotools or cmake based buildsystem (but *not both*). For autotools: $autoreconf -i -f; mkdir build; cd build; ../configure; make; sudo make install For cmake: $mkdir build; cd build; cmake ..; make; sudo make install - set environment variable to the path of installation (you can add this to your ~/.bashrc file): export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH After this, you are set to compile the google contacts and calendar resources, as long you have akonadi and KDE development packages. You will need to restart akonadi server *after* installing the resources (i.e. akonadictl restart). == Getting help == You can write to kde-pim list or send an email directly to me: cavalcantii-at-gmail.com
