RE: MISSING SOFTWARE ELEMENT ON MY SYSTEM
Hello,
I would appreciate any clarification from anyone that can explain to me what
the problem is with my attempt to install the PilotMgr program on my
workstation.
I've attached the complete error message response but here's the excerpt
that seems to apply. I am missing:
========
"Locating Perl 5...
Perl 5 found [at /usr/dist/share/perl,v5.003/5bin.sun4/perl5]

You do not have the correct binary of the PDA::Pilot module
installed in either your PilotManager distribution or your
perl installation.
Please read README.porting for information about how to
download and install this module.

version then the page above should have all the info you need. However,

PilotManager, being that it's written in Perl, is very portable
to other platforms. The installation notes below are incomplete,
but they should get you to the point where the GUI actually comes
up on your system. Good luck."
THANK YOU TO THOSE YOU RESPONDED TO MY PREVIOUS EMAIL. I HAVE A VISOR
NOW AND ITS REALLY BEING PUT TO WORK, JUST CAN'T LINK UP TO MY WORK
STATION AS YET.
THANKS

Welcome to the PilotManager setup utility. Setup will be invoked
automatically the first time you run PilotManager. After that, if you
wish to reconfigure PilotManager, you can run Setup by hand.
Setup will configure your installation of PilotManager. It will
attempt to locate an appropriate version of Perl and configure
PilotManager to use that version.
Then, it will run a series of tests on your environment to determine
whether or not you will be able to run PilotManager without
difficulty.
Tips:
- If you see a "relocation error" on any perl symbols then most
likely the binary packages you are using were not compiled for
your version of perl. Return to the PilotManager web page and
make sure you retrieve the right binary packages.

PilotManager, being that it's written in Perl, is very portable
to other platforms. The installation notes below are incomplete,
but they should get you to the point where the GUI actually comes
up on your system. Good luck.
Installation Notes
==================
To save space, the packages that PilotManager depends upon have not
been included in this package. You will need to download them and
install them in order to use this package.
This is not a particularly difficult, but it's not trivial either.
Someday I'll simplify this process, but considering how many packages
this depends on, it's always going to take time to get it all
installed.
Packages
--------
1.Perl [v5.003 or later]
You must have a working version of Perl, preferably v5.003 or
later installed on the system.
You can obtain the latest copy of Perl from your nearest
CPAN site. If you don't know where to find CPAN, try:
http://www.perl.com/
2. pilot-link [v0.8.4 or later]
You can obtain the latest copy of pilot-link from:
ftp://ryeham.ee.ryerson.ca/pub/PalmOS/
You must configure and install pilot-link, then configure
and install PDA::Pilot (the perl5 interface to pilot-link).
% cd pilot-link.0.8.9
% configure
% make install
% cd Perl5
% perl Makefile.PL
% make install
FYI, for the sun4-solaris distribution of PilotManager pilot-link
was built without debugging info (-g flag removed from Makefile
and libsock/Makefile after configure step) and libpisock was
statically linked to Pilot.so instead of dynamically linked
(modified Makefile after perl Makefile.PL step)
3. Perl modules
You can obtain the following Perl modules from CPAN (see above).
You'll need to configure, build and install these packages on your
system. You can check if you already have a package installed
like this:
% perl -e "use Tk"
% perl -e "use Data::Dumper";
These modules are *required* for using PilotManager:
- Tk module [v400.202 or later]
- Data::Dumper module [v2.07 or later]
(NOTE: Data::Dumper comes standard with perl 5.004_71 and later)
These modules are required only for using the specified conduits:
- Calendar::CSA module [v0.07 or later]
This module is required ONLY for the SyncCM conduit which
synchronizes with Calendar Manager (openwindows or cde)
calendars. If your platform does not have CDE, you do not
need this package.
- MD5 module [v1.6 or later]
- IO modules [v1.15 or later]
These modules are required only for the SyncPlan conduit which
synchronizes with the Plan calendar package. SyncPlan uses
IO::Socket and IO::Select from the IO modules package.
Making a Release
================
Once you have finished compiling PilotManager for your platform, you
should get in touch with me and coordinate releasing your port. I'd
like to keep track of the PilotManager porters so that when there's a
new source release we can get new versions out for different platforms
relatively quickly.
Making a binary release is a bit tricky. There's a sparse Perl
library installed under the pilotmgr/lib directory. You'll need to
populate your arch's section of the libraries. If you're a perl guru,
this is easy. If not, check out one of the prepackaged binary releases.
More on making releases later.
Happy hacking,
