Integration with iTunes

[tnine]

Hi all,
  I'm working on trying to integrate Mozilla Lightning and Sunbird with iTunes.  It seems like a lot of sync work has already been done with the mozilla plugin that will allow me to interact with the calendar.  From my basic understanding of the API, I can write a sync plugin for iTunes that will allow iTunes integration with any plugin that opensync provides.  Given that my initial target release will be Windows, are there any good examples of creating a simple binary that can be used on the Windows platform?  I want to make installation of this iTunes plugin easy, so I just want to include the neccessary DLL files within my plugin.

Thanks,
Todd

Hi Todd,

I have tried to build OpenSync and the mozilla-sync plugin on Windows.
You can have a look here:
http://bluezync.kaarposoft.dk/building.html#building_windows
However, since Mozilla now recommends using Visual Studio Express from
Microsoft (free, but not open source), I will try this instead.

There are also some windows building instructions here:
http://opensync.org/wiki/devel/compilingForWindows
but note that they use cygwin, so my guess is that although OpenSync
might build, you will have problems with Mozilla.

Be warned, that buidling OpenSync and mozilla-sync on a non-linux
platform is NOT easy !

Apart from that, it would be great to have a iTunes plugin - for any
platform...

Hi,

I guess the build hints are outdated. The ones that I made
are here:

http://opensync.org/wiki/trunk/windows

Cheers

Hi Todd,

I have updated the Windows build instructions:
http://kaarposoft.dk/bluezync/building.html#building_windows

It still does not work, but we are getting closer!
Maybe you could try to see if the instructions work for you,
and post the results here on the opensync-devel list.
