iFolder on Kubuntu Gutsy (7.10)
Submitted by altj on Tue, 12/18/2007 - 16:06
I've been using iFolder for a few years now and am now in the process of switching my desktop from SuSE 10.1 to Kubuntu Gutsy. I was a little saddened that I couldn't find a native ifolder package for ubuntu, so I had to compile it myself.
I found these instructions and my own are almost identical. I found a few things that I had to do differently.
- Install dependencies - These are the dependencies I found were required.
sudo apt-get install libmono-dev mono-xsp mono-gmcs libflaim-dev libflaim4.1 liblog4net1.2-cil build-essential automake libxml2 libxml2-dev libtool gtk-sharp2 gnome-sharp2 arch-buildpackage gtk-sharp libeel2-2 subversion gettext libstdc++5 libgtk2.0-dev - Make a directory for all the source code (I used ifolder-src in my home dir.)
- Download the source code - from within your new directory, run:
svn co https://forgesvn1.novell.com/svn/ifolder/branches/ifolder_3_4_sled10sp1/ifolder
svn co https://forgesvn1.novell.com/svn/simias/branches/ifolder_3_4_sled10sp1/simias - Build Simias - I like the idea of putting all this custom compiled stuff into one location (to make cleanup easier if necessary.)
cd simias
./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/ifolder
make
sudo make install - Prep to build iFolder - There are a few things you need to do to get ready
cd ../ifolder
editsrc/LinuxClient/application/iFolderApplication.csand change "TrayIcon" to "Egg.TrayIcon" on (or near) lines 68 and 144.
add a symlink for the arch command
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/setarch /bin/arch
cp /usr/share/gettext/config.rpath . - Build and install iFolder
./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/ifolder
make
sudo make install
Done!
iFolder can now be run with this command /opt/ifolder/bin/ifolder
If you want to make pretty link to the application on your desktop, you can use the iFolder image found here: /opt/ifolder/share/ifolder3/images/ifolder128.png

It looks like libflaim is in universe section of packages. I'm not sure of the GUI way to enable universe, but you can uncomment these lines in /etc/apt/sources.list to do it manually:

Have you compiled the server as well?

I haven't compiled the server version yet. I'm currently running it on a server that runs SuSE 10.1. If I upgrade it, I'll be putting it on Ubuntu and post the steps I went through on this blog.
Due to lack of time, chances are slim I'll be upgrading it any time soon. :-(
