HOWTO

# J-Pilot 0.99.8
# ==============
# Prerequisites:
# gawk
# sed
# grep
# sed
# perl
# gettext
# pilot-link
# gtk 1.x (leave off --enable-gtk2) or 2.x
# prometheon (add --enable-prometheon)

# FYI, there is a Slackware 10.2 package here:
# http://jpilot.org/jpilot-0.99.8-i386-3.tgz
# http://jpilot.org/jpilot-0.99.8-i386-3.tgz.md5sum
# http://jpilot.org/jpilot-0.99.8-i386-3.tgz.asc
# if you don't feel like building it yourself.

# I got Forbidden with wget, but it worked with Firefox and curl.
# Use something else to get it:
# curl -o jpilot-0.99.8.tar.gz http://jpilot.org/jpilot-0.99.8.tar.gz
# lynx -dump -source http://jpilot.org/jpilot-0.99.8.tar.gz > jpilot-0.99.8.tar.gz
