Problem with installation
I have a problem installing jPilot on my Antix 23.2 distribution. I ran the command:
curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/judd/jpilot/script.deb.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install jpilot jpilot-plugins
But it fails:
Detected operating system as antiX/bookworm.
Checking for curls...
Detected curl...
Checking for gpg...
Detected gpg...
Detected apt version as 2.6.1
Running apt-get update... done.
Installing apt-transport-https... done.
Installing /etc/apt/sources.list.d/judd_jpilot.list...curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404
Unable to download repo config from: https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/judd/jpilot/config_file.list?os=antiX&dist=bookworm&source=script
This usually happens if your operating system is not supported by
packagecloud.io, or this script's OS detection failed.
You can override the OS detection by setting os= and dist= prior to running this script.
You can find a list of supported OSes and distributions on our website: https://packagecloud.io/docs#os_distro_version
For example, to force Ubuntu Trusty: os=ubuntu dist=trusty ./script.sh
If you are running a supported OS, please email [email protected] and report this.
So I try to compile the module:
git clone https://github.com/juddmon/jpilot.git
jpilot cd

How do I solve the problem?
Sorry for late response here: You should use Gtk 3, not Gtk 2:
libgtk2.0-dev seems to be wrong.
Here I am, unfortunately I had a lot of work.
I tried as you suggested.
I uninstalled the package:
su -c 'apt remove libgtk2.0-dev'
Then Installed:
su -c 'apt install libgtk-3-dev'
After installing GTK 3, I went back to the J-Pilot source directory and tried to configure it again:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local

./configure: line 15575: syntax error near unexpected token `3.24.12,'
./configure: line 15575: `AM_PATH_GTK_3_0(3.24.12, ,'
If I'm not mistaken this is the main mistake:
./configure: line 15575: syntax error near unexpected token `3.24.12,'
./configure: line 15575: `AM_PATH_GTK_3_0(3.24.12, ,'
What should I do?
Not being an expert, asking ChatGPT it told me that the error refers to:
AM_PATH_GTK_3_0 is a pkg-config macro to find GTK3, but it is not recognized.
This can happen if the necessary m4 files are not installed or if the configure script was not regenerated correctly.
I ran
su -c 'apt install pkg-config libgtk-3-dev'
But it did not install anything new, since everything was already installed at the latest version.
Honestly, I currently do not know what is missing in your case. But maybe the following summary of my build on Arch Linux can guide you further: Building J-Pilot and Pilot-Link on Linux. In particular, I do not start with configure but rather with autogen.sh.
Ok, thanks, I'll take a look. One question, but aren't all those commands that it reports as "obsolete" the problem? For example, the macro AM_PATH_GTK_3_0 is obsolete and should not be replaced with PKG_CHECK_MODULES? Example: Original:
AM_PATH_GTK_3_0(3.24.12, ,
AC_MSG_ERROR([*** GTK >= 3.24.12 not found ***]))
Modified:
PKG_CHECK_MODULES([GTK], [gtk+-3.0 >= 3.24.12], [], [AC_MSG_ERROR([*** GTK >= 3.24.12 not found ***])])
As well as all the obsolete macros?
So, I solved it this way: I searched for the archived i386 packages on the debian site: pilot-link_0.12.5-dfsg-2+b3_i386.deb and the required dependencies and jpilot_1.8.2-2_i386.deb, jpilot-plugins_1.8.2-2_i386.deb The program starts.

I can't sync my PDA with jpilot. I don't know if I'm missing a step...
I don’t know how to do it either. The problem is that I don’t understand. This refers to the physical COM port, you need to connect the cable.
$ sudo dmesg | grep tty

However, if I’m not mistaken, this command says that the Irda device is registered as irda0?
$ sudo dmesg | grep irda
[ 12.261855] irda: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel.
[ 12.380022] IrDA: Registered device irda0
Only one port is used:
$ sudo setserial -g /dev/ttyS[0-3]
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
/dev/ttyS2, UART: unknown, Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 4
/dev/ttyS3, UART: unknown, Port: 0x02e8, IRQ: 3
However, there are many listed here. But there doesn’t seem to be anything resembling irda.

Yet the device communicates: Palm named Andrea with the laptop named Toshiba:

The question arises spontaneously, to which port did the system connect the infrared? The thing that leaves me most perplexed is that if I try to synchronize the palm with jpilot or pilot-link, the connection does not happen, and is permanently interrupted until the PC is restarted. It seems that the infrared blocks. In fact, if I try the connection again with the command $ sudo irdadump, it does not happen anymore, until the PC is restarted.
