Talk:Connecting your Windows Mobile 2005 device via USB

From SynCE-Wiki

Has anyone received this error while configuring usb-rndis-ng:

checking for LIBUSB... yes 
checking for HAL... yes
checking for location of HAL fdi files... /usr/share/hal/fdi
checking for location of HAL callouts... configure: error: not found
See `config.log' for more details.

I can skip it by using ./configure --enable-hal=no but hal would be nice

This'd be a tad easier on the -windowsmobile5 list, or IRC, but you should find where fdi files are kept. Use this hack to quickly find out:

cd /
find | grep hal/fdi/information/20thirdparty

I'm sure there's a better way to do this, but hey. --Jonnylamb 07:26, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

To fix the problem above, you have to install HAL development files. For example, under ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install libhal-dev"

I can't find where to submit a bug report. Here's a change I had to do in order to compile usb-rndis-ng on Dapper (see text source):
