Hi!

Here is a list of my experiences with multisync.
First of all I had trouble to figure out the right version/branch for
multisync and evolution2.

I now use the branch_08X. I hope this is the correct (most up to date)
branch.

Anyways when I checked it out I run autogen.sh to create the configure
script. This fails with: Usage: autoreconf [-f] [-h] [--help]...
My autoreconf does not know the -s option!?
  autoreconf --version: Autoconf version 2.13
So I removed the -s option and run it again.

Now I get (besides a lot other stuff): 
automake: configure.in: `PACKAGE' not defined in `configure.in'
automake: configure.in: `VERSION' not defined in `configure.in'
automake: configure.in: required file `./install-sh' not found
[...]
./configure: line 524: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE: command not found
./configure: line 525: AM_MAINTAINER_MODE: command not found
./configure: line 526: syntax error near unexpected token `config.h'

The problem is probably a missing call to aclocal?
Added this in front of the autoreconf call in autogen now gives:
[...]
automake-1.5: configure.in: installing `./missing'
automake-1.5: configure.in: installing `./depcomp'
autoreconf-2.59: automake failed with exit status: 1

Well whatever it means, it created a configure script.
This script worked on my system, so I could run it without an error.
make and make install also worked.

Now I entered the plugins directory.
Again trouble with the autogen script, fixed like above.
e.g. I tried first the backup_plugin it compiled but after install
no .so files were created in the /usr/local/lib/multisync directory!?
Therefore to get the plugin recognized I had to rename the files and
links.

Okay these are my general problems so far.
I will write another mail with the evolution2 plugin problems later on.

Thansk a lot, Fabian
