I haven't checked this in detail yet. The gears source consists of a lot of code but produces (despite of some javascript) one library "libgears.so". I assume that a whole database driver (sqlite) and a bunch of other stuff is statically linked into that library.
The binary I mentioned seems to prepare something before compilation, thus it is only needed while compiling.

I usually use java and not c(++) so I am not very familiar with the c(++) build process.

Perhaps you should try compiling it?

Given that I'm now addicted to Remember the Milk, I almost have to give this a try.

I'm going to keep trying, but if you'd like to get started, grab the GG source and move the binaries (aka Gecko SDK) to a subdirectory of your (by default) /host_usr/ directory. Edit GG's makefiles so that they look in that subdirectory instead.

Anything kept in /host_usr/ will be run in the native OS regardless of your build environment.

I'm currently blocking on this since my home 'net is extremely unreliable, and my work has extremely strong policies against such things.

Any news? Any help/testing needed?

Briefly, I'm blocking on XulRunner right now --- Google Gears has a pretty formidable set of build requirements, many of which are included as binaries in the Google Gears distribution. Linking to those binaries, of course, causes the build to fail.

what about this port: http://code.google.com/p/google-gear.../detail?id=292 ? Could someone provide an installable package out of the sources from that port?

Erm. Yes. I believe so.

seems like the guy that posted on the http://code.google.com/p/google-gear.../detail?id=292 site managed to get it running, guess its on OS2007 so it must just be a matter of recompilation and packaging! any developers wanna go for it!
