KDE


From SynCE-Wiki

If you own a Windows Mobile or Windows CE device and if you are a KDE user, this project is probably what you were looking for. SynCE for KDE aims at integrating your device into KDE, providing the expected communication facilities. In particular, the SynCE for KDE project permits you:

  • To browse the device file system in Konqueror, and to transfer files in both directions
  • To install CAB files directly to the device
  • To mirror the device screen on your PC desktop, being therefore able to use your main keyboard to control it, taking screenshots, etc.
  • To connect several devices at a time.

It also presents advanced features like

  • IP forwarding to access the internet from the device by the mean of the USB-cable connection
  • AvantGo synchronization
  • Synchronization between the device and Kontact organizer (still in active development at the moment).

Install from Packages

To install from packages, you must either get the packages from your distribution's repository or install the binary packages on the SourceForge site. Please choose the appropriate section:

Package from Distribution

You must install the synce-kde package.

For example, in Debian GNU/Linux you should execute (as root): 

apt-get install synce-kde
[edit]

Package from SourceForge

Download the synce-kde-pack0.9.1-6.i586.rpm file and install it using the rpm command: 

rpm -Uvh synce-kde-pack-0.9.1-6.i586.rpm

Install from Subversion

First, you must have a Subversion client installed, then execute: 

svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/synce/trunk/synce-kde
svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/synce/trunk/kcemirror
svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/synce/trunk/syncekonnector

This will checkout the latest versions of synce-kde, kcemirror and syncekonnector. Now you must install each package:

synce-kde 

cd synce-kde/
./bootstrap
./configure
make
sudo make install
cd ..
[edit]

kcemirror 

cd kcemirror/
