Problems setting up calcurse-caldav for compatibility between Linux-Mac

Open Michael-Gauthier opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

Hello everyone,

I am having a lot of trouble setting up calcurse-caldav for use on my Linux system (Mint) and a Mac OS one.

I have followed the official tutorial on the calcurse.org website, but I am pretty much at the very beginning and do not know what I need to do...

I have installed httplib2 on both laptops, and based on what I understand from the tutorial, I next have to do setup a config file. The tutorial mentions that it has to be located at ~/.calcurse/caldav/config , but I do not have a caldav/config directory... I do have a calcurse directory in /usr/share/doc/calcurse and one in my home directory, but I cannot find the example configuration file I need...

I still tried using --init=keep-local, in order to keep the calcurse data which is on my Linux machine (the one I use the most) in order to push it and retrieve it on my Mac, but I, quite naturally I guess, get the error message saying that the configuration file was not found...

I have looked online but could not find anything clear enough for a programming newbie like me to be able to solve the problem, nor could I find any other tutorial.

I'm sure that there are probably key elements that I failed to include, I apologize in advance, but any help to try to help me solve this issue would be really appreciated, as I love Calcurse and would like to be able to use it with ease on two different computers.

Sample caldav config file can be found here (or clone this repo and find it under contrib/caldav/config.sample)
