Synce for WM5

ilm · Posted: Sat Aug 26, 2006 12:03 pm Post subject: Synce for WM5

From the following site:

http://www.synce.org/index.php/Windows_Mobile_2005_Support

it says that synce now supports WM5. Now, it is reccomended that I use the subersion version of synce, as it has more support. Is this the same as the 0.9.2 version that is hard-masked in Portage??? When I look through the files listed under the subversion guide, I find that the version numbers listed there all say 0.9.1 (e.g. for libsynce http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/synce/branches/libsynce/WM5/libsynce/VERSION?revision=2396&view=markup) [I used the web-access for subversion through sourceforge].

Has anyone successfully managed to get this working on Gentoo? I've only had it installed for just over a month, so I'm not wanting to start mixing up portage packages and other software :wink:

*bump*

I asked this question ages ago, but still want to know the answer. In particular, I notice that there's been two new versions since I originally asked the question, but the synce wiki doesn't state whether the svn version is still required or if the new versions are wm5-compatible.

Thanks for those!

Do I still install the synce package from portage to bring all these in? I tried it just to check, and these are the packages that it wants to bring in:

i didn't use the portage version of synce, i think it's just a meta-package
if you emerge synce-odccm, that will pull the others in (did here in any case)

Evolution is the Outlook replacement, i'm still working on getting that part of the sync working.
My HTC Hermes connects happily and i can install/remove software, just need to get it to sync contacts now

Well, the synce package seems to bring in some other packages that you haven't listed there...

Also, should it be synce-odccm or synce-dccm (portage has packages called the latter).

Then do I need to use multisync/opensync to actually do the syncing? There doesn't seem to be any decent guides on connecting pocket pcs to Gentoo that I can find...

Edit: I tried emerging them, but I get the following error:

Has anyone achieved KDE integration?

I own an HTC Hermes, too...

Hello,

My PDA is a HTC Kaiser TyTN II.
I'm not able to get it recognized. Which kernel module should I use? Which options?
I tried ipaq module with vendor and product options but nothing to do.
dmesg doesn't show any significant message.

Right now there is a new FAQ for synce on their web page. I would advise to go with layman .... right now I'm also trying to get connected, but at least I'm getting massages in dmesg

. My issue is getting gnomevfs to work ...
