Installing SynCE-KPM
There are some distros that have packaged versions of SynCE-KPM.
Debian or Ubuntu
In Ubuntu and in Debian you can install SynCE-KPM via the following command: apt-get install synce-kpm
Fedora
Under Fedora you can install pyqt4 with: yum -y install pyqt4
Furthermore, currently synce-kpm is in the process of getting into Fedora Rawhide. More updates will follow on this.
Installing from source
When installing from source, SynCE-KPM depends on a couple of libaries to run:
- PyQT4
- Qt4 (SynCE-KPM is known to work with Qt 4.3.3, older versions might work also, but is not guaranteed)
odccm ( >= 0.11 )
librapi2 ( >= 0.11 )
libsynce ( >= 0.11 )
Download the tarball: [http://downloads.sourceforge.net/synce/synce-kpm-0.11.1.tar.gz synce-kpm-0.11.1.tar.gz] After this you can unpack and run SynCE-KPM with the following:
$ tar zxf synce-kpm-0.11.1.tar.gz $ cd synce-kpm-0.11.1 $ ./synce-kpm
If you want to use SynCE-KPM for partnership handling, you must also have sync-engine installed and running. Syncengine can also be started after SynCE-KPM is started, SynCE-KPM will detect the presence of sync-engine on dbus. When you do want to make use of sync-engine and synce-kpm, make sure that you have installed sync-engine version 0.11.1 or later, otherwise things might not work.

svn co https://synce.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/synce/trunk/synce-kpm
