A suggestion right at the start: Check out the SynCE-WindowsMobile5 mailing list. Dr J A Gow is currently making huge efforts regarding the synchronization engine, but he maintains it currently out-of-tree. Check the February Archive at sourceforge. > I don't install subversion, because all lib was available at the > gentoo distrib (masked but present). The problem, however, is that the synce development is heavily fragmented, partly there are even parallel efforts. I really, really recommend to resort to the svn versions of everything: http://www.synce.org/index.php/Building_SynCE_with_Windows_Mobile_2005_support_from_Subversion Hopefully it will stabilize and we will see regular packages. > I would like to connect with USB (made simple to begin!!). Actually, Bluetooth may even be more simple -- but I can't check, I don't own bluetooth adapters. Remember to enable USB networking in the kernel (CONFIG_USB_NET_CDCETHER), compile it as module, and then install usb-rndis-lite drivers. You might even have to delete the modules that the kernel generated in order to use the usb-rndis-lite ones, because they will have the same name as the vanilla-kernel modules. It is important to compile them in you kernel beforehand in order to have the kernel include some needed symbols. http://www.synce.org/index.php/Connecting_your_Windows_Mobile_2005_device_via_USB_(usb-rndis-lite) Also, remember to compile odccm with desktop integration. HAL and dbus should be running when you start odccm. "dmesg" should tell that there is a new rndis device when you plug in your WM5 PDA. -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
