Nevernote 0.86

Nevernote is an incomplete clone of Evernote designed to run on Linux.

http://nevernote.sourceforge.net/

I'm not sure how to make a pkgbuild from this software - I've tried extracting both the nevernote files and the required qt jambi to my ~/bin folder, but with no luck. QT-Jambi is also not in the aur.

I'm not particularly experienced at building my own software, and thoroughly confused as to how to get this to work.

I think this would be a great addition to the AUR - linux is currently the only platform without a native Evernote client.

Re: Nevernote 0.86

This is my PKGBUILD:

pkgname=nevernote  
pkgver=0.86
pkgrel=1 
pkgdesc="incomplete clone of Evernote"
url="http://nevernote.sourceforge.net/"
arch=('any')
license=('GPL')
depends=('qtjambi' 'libpng12')
source=("http://www.evernote.com/shard/s1/res/39180837-3601-4d4e-8ebf-3abd53e2838e/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz" "$pkgname.sh" "$pkgname-caller.sh")
md5sums=('cfa6afca65a7e9af9870043d4bff4cb1'
         'db4c7f0023832b67e9c4b965daa91e44'
         'c18bb6885604de5290ca1a81d6717e21')

package() {
  cd $srcdir/
  install -d $pkgdir/usr/share/java/
  
  cp -r $pkgname $pkgdir/usr/share/java
  install -Dm755 $srcdir/$pkgname.sh $pkgdir/usr/share/java/$pkgname/$pkgname.sh
  install -Dm755 $srcdir/$pkgname-caller.sh $pkgdir/usr/bin/$pkgname
  install -dm777 $pkgdir/usr/share/java/$pkgname/res/
  install -dm777 $pkgdir/usr/share/java/$pkgname/logs/
 }

There are some bad things on it:
* running nevernote only shows a splash screen and ends with an exception:

nevernote

    at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619)
    at com.trolltech.qt.QThread.run(QThread.java:164)

* There are some directories that need 777 permissions
* The author thinks that qtjambi will be installed in the user's $HOME.
all issues should be fixed upstream.

btw qtjambi is in AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11602

Re: Nevernote 0.86

There have been several releases since 0.86 (it's currently at 0.91) and hopefully they address some of the problems above.  There are tar, deb, & rpm packages available.  If someone can provide a very simple tutorial along with what utilities are needed I can try to create a package for this too.

Already, has a maintainer; here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=41226
I flagged it out-of-date for you, it's the best thing to do when a package is outdated.

If you are interested in learning about PKGBUILDS yourself though, try the links in this page: http://aur.archlinux.org/index.php
