Since ActiveSync is the only reason I really use XP anymore, I'm damn desperate to get Synce working. Howver, I always get a compile error somewhere along the line when I try to do this on Suse. Is there an RPM package for Suse that I can pick up? Does anybody know how to get it working?

Please post the output from when you try to compile it. (Not just the line with the error, the whole thing.)

This is the last segment of output from compiling libsynce:

I'm sorry, I don't know how to help you.

Twiggy,

There are some rpms here and here . They are a couple of revs behind. SynCE 0.8.1 vs 0.9, and SynCE-KDE 0.6 vs. 0.6.1, and they are also built for SuSE 9.0. From what I can glean it would further assist you moving to SuSE 9.0 as the kernel is updated and, according to the SynCE website, has support for a much wider range of devices.

Regards
Steve

Doh!

Those versions of SynCE(-KDE) are included in the 9.0 distro, so those links are superfluous to requirements.

Steve

Yeah ~ I actually updated to Suse 9.0 after that original post. I have Synce working, now I just need to figure out how to work SynceKDE
