Building Address Book app

[gb]

Hi,

I´m trying to build the address-book-app in my laptop but I´m facing some errors that someone in the community might know how to solve.

I need to install the libraries libqofono-dev and qtpim5-dev
Then I solve two errors in this two files:

address-book-app/po/zh_TW.po
address-book-app/po/hu.po

Commented out lines 38,39 and 40.

##: ../src/imports/Ubuntu/AddressBook/ContactEditor/ContactEditor.qml:307
#msgid "Add Field"
#msgstr "Mező hozzáadása"

The problem arouses when running the app as stated in the github repo via:
cd build
./src/app/address-book-app

I get the following errors. Any help would be appreciated

Fail to connect with pim service.

Hi,

I´m trying to build the address-book-app in my laptop

directly on the machine or in some container? which os do you have on your laptop?

I think you probably should try building it with clickable

[gb]

I tried it directly on my pc with Elementary OS 0.4.1 Loki (based on ubuntu 16.04)

$uname -a
Linux sumatra 4.4.0-131-generic #157-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jul 12 15:51:36 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux$ tree -L 1

I am trying clickable instead. I created a new project with clickable init.
The following is a list of the files that clickable generates:

../address-book-app
├── address-book-app.apparmor
├── address-book-app.desktop.in
├── assets
├── clickable.json
├── CMakeLists.txt
├── LICENSE
├── manifest.json.in
├── plugins
├── po
├── qml
└── README.md

And this is the clone from the previous address-book-app

$ tree -L 1
.
├── address-book-apparmor.json -> ./click/address-book-apparmor.json
├── build
├── click
├── clickable.json
├── cmake
├── CMakeLists.txt
├── cmake_uninstall.cmake.in
├── config.h.in
├── COPYING.CC
├── COPYING.GPL-3
├── data
├── debian
├── examples
├── Jenkinsfile
├── manifest.json -> ./click/manifest.json.in
├── po
├── README.md
├── setup
├── snapcraft.yaml
├── src
└── tests

What of this files are mandatory to build the?
I understand that "src" and "po" should be copied.
Anything else?

Thanks

A long time ago (!) I had the idea of a more intelligent contacts app - http://localhost/index.php/s/XyLj4MRpcL34cdD

• where the person could choose who had what contact details
• where changing one's own details changed them for everyone, so that your details were always correct, and
• where you could set contact preferences depending on location or time...

But I'm not a coder, so I only got as far as the Presentation!

If anyone would like to code it though, be my guest!

@3arn0wl you've posted a link to localhost

[A Former User]

That's because I'm an idiot, @advocatux! (I thought I could share a file from Nexcloud as I could with Dropbox)

[advocatux]

@3arn0wl you can share links with NextCloud if your server is publicly accessible and your user has the rights to do it

[A Former User]

That's very bad news then, @advocatux, because it means that I still haven't got my port-forwarding sorted out properly. Meh!

No no. No need for clickable init. There is already a https://github.com/ubports/address-book-app/blob/master/clickable.json added by @NeoTheThird . All you should need to do is:

Connect with usb cable
git clone
clickable

This should build it, install it on your phone and run it. If your phone is on xenial, do clickable --sdk 16.04 instead.

If it's not clear, or you're not familiar with clickable yet, be sure to

• scan https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/appdev/index.html
• read http://clickable.bhdouglass.com/en/latest/
• consider building your own hello world app with clickable init and play around a bit

[A Former User]

I think I finally managed to sort out the port forwarding, @advocatux - woot woot.

So here was the idea I had (please let it work!) https://3arn0wl.hopto.org/index.php/s/xnNJPoDp25gqQ2N

[advocatux]

@3arn0wl yep, it works \o/

[A Former User]

Thanks for confirming that, @advocatux.

@3arn0wl btw if you don't have it already, it's good to have 2FA https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/14/user_manual/user_2fa.html
