Nautilus Extensions on Ubuntu Desktop 18.04

Seafile Client
1

Hi everybody,

I am using Ubuntu Desktop 18.04 with seafile client 6.1.8 installed via official repositories:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:seafile/seafile-client
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install seafile-gui

Now I tried to install the nautilus extensions. Therefore I did:

sudo apt-get install cmake libnautilus-extension-dev libccnet-dev libsearpc-dev libjansson-dev libseafile-dev
wget https://github.com/haiwen/seafile-client/archive/nautilus_extension.zip
unzip nautilus_extension.zip
./build.sh
make install

Unfortunately some errors pop up. Can somebody help me what to do?

Here are the errors

I’ve never used or tried it myself, but I found something other people (e.g. shoeper) did that seems to have worked for them:

Change the line the compiler complains about, line 42 in seafile-rpc-client.c, from this:

if (ccnet_client_load_confdir (sync_client_, ccnet_dir) < 0)

to this:

if (ccnet_client_load_confdir (sync_client_, NULL, ccnet_dir) < 0)

See:

Hope it works for you as well!

Hi!
If you guys are still interested in a seafile extension, I have developed something that quite close to that: a seafile script for nautilus. It is written in Python 3 (>=3.8). This is based on a home-made API which can be used independently too.

seafile_nautilus relies on zenity for the dialogs. You can create, delete, list links and set their permissions directly from nautilus file manager.

The project is hosted on gitlab and the package is available on PyPi.
You can give it a try, give me a feedback on gitlab (issues, etc.)
If it fits your needs, you can contribute in many ways, including helping with translations (currently English and French).
