#8 Unable to use mozilla-sync-test on openSUSE
To make this issue better trackable I open a ticket for it.
As talked about in the forum mozilla-connect-test does not work with the openSUSE mozilla libraries at least not out of the box.
Furthermore openSUSE does not contain a Thunderbird-devel package to build mozilla-sync.
For now I have started building Thunderbird in the openSUSE-BuildService at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/felixmoeller2/
This repository contains MozillaThunderbird-OpenSync-2.0.0.9 and MozillaThunderbird-OpenSync-devel-2.0.0.9 which install into /opt/thunderbird/.
To compile mozilla-sync on openSUSE one now just has set PKG_CONFIG_PATH (i.e. export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/thunderbird/lib/pkgconfig/) and then cmake will detect everything.
To use the mozilla-sync-plugin one just has to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH (i.e. export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/thunderbird/lib/thunderbird-2.0.0.9/)
Hopefully the packages will be mirrored out in a few minutes ... Right now openSUSE-factory x86-64 is missing as Thunderbird does not build there with GCC 4.3 hopefully I can fix that soon.

I still do not know how to build Thunderbird for x86-64 with gcc 4.3.
Nevertheless I packaged libopensync-plugin-mozilla-0.34_SVN46 today and added it to my repository. This is built against MozillaThunderbird-OpenSync.
To synchronoize one just has to do:
# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/thunderbird/lib/thunderbird-2.0.0.9/
# msynctool --sync file2thunderbird

Cool. Thanks for adding mozilla-sync there !!
Btw, two small stupid questions:
- how did you generate the rpm? Something to add to mozilla-sync CMakeFile to make it easier?
- did you get the SVN46 infix automatically by some means I have not thought of?

I just took the .spec file of another OpenSync plugin (from OpenSync:) and adapted it. The RPMs are now generated by the openSUSE Buildservice -- a compile cluster -- and therefore the are rebuilt on every OpenSync update automatically. (see http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service\)
Right now I use a little script to generate the package:
#!/bin/bash
cd /tmp/
svn co https://bluezync.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bluezync/trunk/libopensync-plugin-mozilla/ libopensync-plugin-mozilla
cd libopensync-plugin-mozilla
filename=libopensync-plugin-mozilla-0.34_SVN$(svn info | grep -oP "(?<=Revision: )\d+")
svn export . ../$filename
cd ..
tar -cjf $HOME/$filename.tar.bz2 $filename
rm -rf $filename
I will look at CPACK the next days ...
As soon as we get it built against openSUSE thunderbird i am sure I can talk to the suse OpenSync maintainter (cstender) to add it to the official repository.

wolfiR (Wolfgang Rosenauer) the mozilla Maintainer from SUSE took the time today to build an official Thunderbird-devel package for openSUSE.
This is available right now at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/. I will look into compiling and linking against this one the next days ...

The packages had broken pkgconfig files but this is fixed now.
cmake finds them but errors with:
"[ 7%] Building CXX object src/CMakeFiles/mozilla-connect-test.dir/thunderbird-card.o

On PCLinuxOS the "main" include dir is /usr/include/thunderbird-2.0.0.6/
There are about a hundred files in this dir, including "nsXPCOM.h"
There are about a hundred directories as well, including "xpcom"
I think the problem might be, that your "nsXPCOM.h" is found under xpcom,
so ${_LIBTBXPCOM_INCLUDE_DIR} gets set to "/usr/include/thunderbird/xpcom/" instead of "/usr/include/thunderbird/" as I think it should.
I think that instead of your patch, it is better to find another file to look for in line 16.
Suggestions:
nsError.h
mozilla-config.h
nsCOMPtr.h
nscore.h
nsBuildID.h
If you have any of those in the main include dir, please try to put this name in line 16 instead of nsXPCOM.h
----------
I still do not know why your do_GetService fails, except that AutoRegister failed, and I don't know why that failed.
You could try to run from the thunderbird extension; it will probably work because then tbird has set everything up correctly

Whow, I am really surprised that mozilla is packed so differently on different distros ))))-:
Thank you for still being there, trying to solve this!
I believe I have solved most of the issues you mention - except nsIArray.h - now available in SVN.
(Note that I have made a few changes to the use of CMake. In particular, libopensync-plugin-mozilla now installs FindThunderbirdXpcom.cmake and more in PREFIX/share/libopensync-plugin-mozilla, from where blueZync4Thunderbird includes it)
nsIArray.h should be included in the thunderbird-devel package.
In PCLinuxOS it is put under /usr/share/idl/thunderbird-2.0.0.6 along with a thousand (1269, really!) other .idl files.
I think you should talk to the mozilla Maintainer from SUSE, and ask him to include all the .idl files
(If you are "desperate", it can also be found in the gecko sdk)

Ok i wrote an email to the openSUSE maintainer.
libopensync-plugin-mozilla builds with current SVN without a problem.

You could actually try the thunderbird extension (0.1.2 or 0.1.4) in Thunderbird.
When called from inside Thunderbird, the classes are probably already registred and do_GetService may work.

I installed the thunderbird plugin but somehow i am not able to configure the group correctly.
I allways get "The group is invalid First plugin should be mozilla-sync but was syncml-obex-client."
My filesystem looks like this:
blueZync/
blueZync/group1
blueZync/group1/archive.db
blueZync/group1/2
blueZync/group1/2/syncml-obex-client.conf
blueZync/group1/2/syncmember.conf
blueZync/group1/syncgroup.conf
blueZync/group1/1
blueZync/group1/1/mozilla-sync.conf
blueZync/group1/1/syncmember.conf
I am using svn r115.

Sorry about that.
Stupid me thought that in OpenSync the first added group would be nth(0), the next nth(1), and so on. But no, groups come in random order (depending on g_dir). So we have to use osync_group_find_member instead of osync_group_nth_member.
Fixed in 0.1.6

Thanks now synchronization starts! From within Thunderbird.
It quits because it cannot find an id in the thunderbird addressbook, but this this is probably because of the broken syncml-obex-client.
