[gentoo-user] google drive

[András Csányi]

Hi All,

I would like to get some advise what would be the good - reasonably
good - solution use my Google Drive storage under Gentoo. In the last
1.5 years I haven't used Gentoo so, I'm a little bit out of scope
about the actualities.

I found grive but it is not compiling. At the moment I don't have time
to figure out what could be the issue with it and I have no time to
report it. Maybe, later.

What I'm looking for is similar to I had under Windows. The drive
could be mountable and it is  synchronized. At the moment does not
matter it is synchronized automatically or it requires a command.

Thanks for any suggestions in advance!

András

Here's a quick and dirty workaround:

#cd /usr/include
#ln -s json-c json
(I think the json-c package puts that symlink in the wrong place.)

That should let you install grive.  Let us know if grive does what you want.

Place the attached file in the folder (create the folder if it doesn't
exists)
/etc/portage/patches/net-misc/grive-0.2.0/

Here's how it looks on my system.

after you configure grive, it syncs the current folder with your google
drive. You need to run it again to sync any changes. I use a cron entry
to periodically sync my drive.

Thanks for the quick help both of you. I compiled the code
successfully using the link command you suggested. At the moment sync
is running and it looks like that one I want it.
