Hello,

   I started to use Ubuntu One on my desktop(s) and I would like to sync with my new Nokia N900. Maemo is in fact Debian, but it does not use Nautilus nor Gnome. I downloaded ubuntuone-client-1.2.0 source and tried to compile it in a N900 scratchbox on my 32bit Ubuntu 9.10 32bit (I know I should upgrade ;-) ). The configure script failed on missed dependencies:

--snapshot--
checking for NAUTILUS... configure: error: Package requirements (libnautilus-extension >= 2.6.0 libebook-1.2 gconf-2.0) were not met:

No package 'libnautilus-extension' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables NAUTILUS_CFLAGS
--snapshot--

Libebook and gconf are installed with appropriate versions, so the only real problem is libnautilus-extension >= 2.6.0. If I understood correctly the man page of u1sdtool, it should be able to control the UbuntuOne daemon without gui, just on a command line. Can you help me to compile UbuntuOne without libnautilus dependency ? (compiling of Nautilus just for the sake of UbuntuOne seems to me as an overkill) There are standard Gtk and Qt4 librararies on Maemo 5, so even some simple GUI could be possible in he future (or even a hildon equivalent of nautilus stuff). At the moment there is no Dropbox client for N900 either (and it does not seem to be ready in the near future) so giving out Ubuntu One could do very good job in Ubuntu propagation among geeks in N900 community.

Thank you for any help or comments
George
