Comment 18 for bug 569601

Here are instructions for building a patched version of gnome-pilot with the fix mentioned above in comment #12.

try the following:
     1. If you haven't already done so, download the deb build utilities
        using "sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev"
     2. Download the gnome-pilot build dependencies using "sudo apt-get
        build-dep gnome-pilot"
     3. download the files attached to comment #16 and #17 above (gnome-pilot_2.0.17-0ubuntu6.diff.gz and
        gnome-pilot_2.0.17-0ubuntu6.dsc). Ignore the ones in #14 and #15!
     4. download gnome-pilot_2.0.17.orig.tar.gz from
        https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/gnome-pilot/2.0.17-0ubuntu1 into the same directory as
        the two files you downloaded in the step 3.
     5. Now unpack and apply the diff using "dpkg-source -x gnome-pilot_2.0.17-0ubuntu6.dsc"
     6. Now change directory into gnome-pilot-2.0.17 and run "dpkg-buildpackage -b". This should build
         three binary .deb files in the parent directory that you can install using "dpkg -i to build a binary .deb you should be able
        to install using "dpkg -i *deb"

Please post a comment if you have success/failure with the above.
