PalmOS HotSyncing with Arch Linux

Had to do a little digging to get things to work on my machine specifically, but ultimately the general process is:

  1. Install pilot-link and its associated header files from the AUR
    • the -git version has some necessary patches included
    • paru -S pilot-link-git
  2. Compile jpilot manually
    • git clone https://github.com/juddmon/jpilot
    • ./autogen.sh
    • ./configure
    • make

I know it's terrible practice, but I ended up having to run jpilot as root for PalmOS to sync with my system (I believe it's because my user account doesn't have full USB permissions?). As soon as I find a non-root solution I'll update this page.
