How to Sync Akonadi with Google

  • 772

I'm trying to figure out how I can sync Akonadi (Kontact) with Google in Kubuntu 12.04. I'm looking for the akonadi-google package but I can't find a version of the deb for the 64 bit architecture. Could someone help me with this please?

When I try to build the akonadi-google package it says it can't continue ./configure without libcurl. I've installed libcurl yet I still get the same error message about libcurl being missing.

  1. You can use Synaptic Package Manager to download and install Akonadi. If you don't have Synaptic installed you can do so by,

    Just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command below.

    sudo apt-get install synaptic

    or

    Or to download Akonadi, .DEB file you can do so from here

  2. I'm going to answer both questions, but if the first works, you don't need to go the second.

    1. To install it from a repository: akonadi-google isn't packaged (i.e., not available on Ubuntu repositores/Software Centre). The easiest way to install it is adding a third party source for the Ubuntu Software Centre. The akonadigoogle daily builds PPA has the package akonadi-google. Add the PPA, and then try to install it.

    2. To build it from scratch: I'm currently not on Ubuntu but I'm going to guess you need an extra package like libcurl-somethingsomething-dev. Try following the insructions on HowTo install "akonadi-google" and check if it works.
