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

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

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

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/

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
