Issues compiling

[t3kk3n]

So when I try to compile with autogen, along with trying to run configure, I get the following:

checking for socklen_t... yes checking whether to enable userland conduits... no checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes checking for BLUEZ... yes ./configure: line 18631: syntax error near unexpected token )' ./configure: line 18631: )'

Line 18631 contains a close parenthesis, so for the heck of it, I commented it out, to then get the following:

checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes checking for BLUEZ... yes ./configure: line 19040: syntax error near unexpected token 'newline' ./configure: line 19040: '''

Before I start going edit crazy, is anyone else having this issue? Has anyone solved or fixed this?

Thanks!

did anyone manage to solve this?

I was able to get this built/compiled using the pilot-link-git package on the Arch Linux AUR - hope this helps.

I'll try to take a look and push a fix this weekend. I'm pretty backed up on some other PRs as well. Sorry for delays on this!

This patch appears to fix the compilation issues related to the -Werror CFLAG and configure malformation.

I'm trying to do the same, but I get this error when compiling, anyone know how to fix it?

Well, after some fiddling I can pretend the errors don't exist by editing the Makefiles to make GCC not error out, and then it all compiles and works. I might try to figure out auoconf enough to do this more "properly" but I'm now trying to work out what to do with my Palm now I can sync it with my machine.

To do this you need to change the CFLAGS in the Makefiles to contain

-Wno-incompatible-pointer-types instead of -Wall

Back to some new errors. Using the two patches from pilot-link-git AUR PKGBUILD and the incompatible pointer types fix above, still getting an error

I now found a way how to build pilot-link, libpisock etc. on Ubuntu 24.04, see:
