[tomboy-list] Add-in Help

[S Krupa Shankar]

Sandy,

Thanks for the reply.

I could refer tomboy.exe from the folder you have pointed out.

I modified the version as "0.10" in the addin.xml file and compiled from the terminal window. I received no error messages.

I deleted the existing files in the /usr/lib/tomboy/addins folder and from /home/mint/.tomboy/addins folder and copied the newly compiled files over there to /home/mint/.tomboy/addins folder (~/.tomboy/addins). The result is same, it still does not comes up in the Addins list.

I tried to check if any new addin works. I tried to load Yuval's Redirect.dll addin by copying it to the same directory. Even this does not come up in the addin list. This could perhaps be something related to my system/application setting since none of the addins seems to work?

I am using Linux Mint 7.0 LIVE distribution.

The full output as tomboy starts is as follows:

Great, welcome to Tomboy!

That would be /usr/lib/tomboy/Tomboy.exe on most installs.

The correct place for you to copy it is ~/.tomboy/addins .

Normally.  It would be helpful to see the complete output Tomboy gives
when it starts up.

It looks like you compiled it correctly.

You should use 0.10, not 0.14.  This might be your issue.

Remove your DLL from /usr/lib/tomboy/addins and ~/.tomboy/addins, fix
the addin.xml file to reference 0.10 instead of 0.14, recompile your
add-in, place it in ~/.tomboy/addins, and if you continue having
problems, paste the *complete* output Tomboy gives when you start it
with `tomboy --debug`.

Hope this helps,
Sandy
