[REQUEST] lightning-hg (for thunderbird3)

thoughtcrime · 2009-12-05 21:07:09

Lightning is that nice calendar add-on for Thunderbird. As we are all bleeding edge lovers, I've just installed thunderbird3 (the AUR package), but now the stable lightning version does not work anymore.

I've tried to come up with my own PKGBUILD, but the Mozilla build processes are a bit complex and by now my PKGBUILD seems just to compile everything BUT lightning itself.

Please make it functional, thanks a bunch!

its funny that i'm using thunderbird3 and since rc1 lightning extension is built in.

thoughtcrime · 2009-12-06 15:01:28

The built one does not work for me. I've also read that they want to keep both separated on their wiki.

Schnouki · 2009-12-07 09:21:14

Hmm, I'm using the built-in extension too, and it works fine. Right now the only .xpi I'm using for Lightning is the provider for Google Calendar.

I don't know where I downloaded the .xpi I was previously using (according to the build ID it was built on November 26th), but you can try downloading a more recent build on http://www.secudb.de/~seuffert/mozilla/ (just googled "lightning 1.0pre x86_64 xpi", I don't know what it's worth...).

If you still want to build Lightning yourself, you should read https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Simple … _Lightning. Good luck ;-)

Thanks for the links. I guess now that the problem was caused by thunderbird3 3.0rc2-3 I built from AUR, because it caused every version of Lightning I tried to use to crash.

But I will stay with thunderbird2 a bit longer, because I found some things that do not yet work with thunderbird3 (for example: where can one set the network timeout?).

thoughtcrime · 2009-12-11 10:51:40

Actually I did not know that the thunderbird3 release happened so quickly. So in the end I installed tb3 from extra now and with the XPIs Schnouki found, lightning works, so thanks a bunch for that!

However, I think that it should be possible to make such an lightning PKGBUILD (without using pre-made binaries of course), so maybe someone could try to make one.

Pelikan · 2009-12-11 16:27:59

hi,

you can use the official PKGBUILD from abs and simply add:

echo "ac_add_options --enable-calendar" >> .mozconfig

domanov · 2010-01-11 18:59:47

Hi people,

I just tried (x86_64) the

echo "ac_add_options --enable-calendar" >> .mozconfig

hack but the calendar is still buggy - can't read from a CalDAV calendar, write works though, but the modifications are lost at the next thunderbird session. Anyone found a solution to calendar/lightning for thunderbird 3 x86_64?

xduugu · 2010-01-12 18:10:10

FYI, there is now a xpi for thunderbird x86_64.

domanov · 2010-01-12 18:57:57

Nope, still doesn't work (at least together with the thunderbird 3.0-3 pkg in extra, I'll try later with a nightly build)
