#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.

to keep this thread uptodate:
The MozillaThunderbird-devel package joined yesterday the official openSUSE distribution. See http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-commit/2008-01/msg00539.html
