Smooth Sailing: Installing jpilot on LMDE 7

Hey there, Linux enthusiasts! Today, we're going to tackle a common issue that's been bugging some of us after upgrading to LMDE 7. We'll be focusing on getting jpilot up and running on our fresh Debian Trixie-based system.

The Initial Struggle

You might have tried the usual suspects first: installing via packagecloud and compiling from the source. But alas, you were greeted with a 404 error and some configure.ac warnings and errors. Don't worry, we've all been there, guys! Let's dive in and fix this.

Adding the Jpilot Repository

First things first, let's add the Jpilot repository to our LMDE 7's Software Sources. This will make installing jpilot a breeze. Here's how you do it:

curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/judd/jpilot/script.deb.sh | sudo bash

Installing jpilot and Its Plugins

Now that the repository is added, we can install jpilot and its plugins without any hassle. Here's the command to do that:

sudo apt install jpilot jpilot-plugins

Resolving the GTK_3_0 Macro Error

If you're still encountering the AM_PATH_GTK_3_0 error while compiling from the source, it's likely due to a missing macro. To resolve this, you'll need to install the libglib2.0-dev package, which provides the required macro. Here's how:

sudo apt install libglib2.0-dev

Compiling jpilot from Source (If Needed)

If you still want to compile jpilot from the source, you can do so now without encountering the previous errors. Here are the steps:

  1. Download the latest jpilot source from the official website.
  2. Extract the downloaded archive.
  3. Navigate to the extracted directory.
  4. Run ./configure to configure the build.
  5. Run make to compile jpilot.
  6. Finally, run sudo make install to install jpilot.

And there you have it, folks! jpilot should now be installed and ready to use on your LMDE 7 system. Happy syncing!
