Using SynCE without hal

[Patrick Trübe]

I've installed SynCE on Gentoo over the portage overlay synce. Hal-useflag is disabled and hal not installed on the system. When I connect my HTC Touch Pro2 with the desktop the usb-device is recognized and the right drivers are loaded

but a already started sync-engine-instance remains in silence:

2010-08-12 16:11:11,246 DEBUG syncengine : creating SyncEngine object

2010-08-12 16:11:11,259 DEBUG syncengine : installing signal handlers

Is there a version of SynCE that can used without HAL or maybe is my configuration wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Patrick Trübe

I am writing to you because I am trying to setup synce on gentoo, and I
can't...
Which doc did you use to install your softwares ?

No, not yet.

Well, but there is a Gentoo useflag called "hal" inapp-pda/synce-0.14? What is the use of this one?

If I understand older postings correctly there was a daemon called odccm which was replaced by hal?
Which is the latest version of synce supporting odccm?

Kind regards,
Patrick Trübe

odccm has been deprecated longer than hal, and it also uses hal too, but
it should still work. Just because hal is deprecated doesn't mean you
can't use it.
