Re: [Opensync-users] Timezone trouble

Hello Chris,

thanks for your answer. Now I know that there are still some souls
around who read this list. It has become very quiet, I was beginning to
worry if it was still active.

I hope they fix it very fast, because now that KPilot has become
abandoned and unsupported, all of us "old-fashioned" Palm users need
OpenSync really badly. Right now, I am feeling like back in the stone
age again: I have to synchronize my Palm and my Linux desktop by hand,
because right now there is *no* synching software that works 	faultless,
without messing up my calendars.

I'm sure you can imagine how frustrating this is. And it gets even more
frustrating every time Windows users look at you with this kind of pity
in their faces...

Unfortunately, this is the only version available for my system. I tried
to compile version 0.39 but I failed. :-(

It seems to me, compiling OpenSync is much more complicated than
compiling a Linux kernel. The scripts that should do the trick are very
old and they don't work on my system (KUbuntu 9.10). I am not very much
into developing software, so I can't really tell why they don't work. I
guess it must be some dependencies that don't match, but how do you
solve dependencies for a script of that age?

If anyone has a working script, that downloads and compiles OpenSync on
(K)Ubuntu9.10 or if anyone even has a working package (.deb) for this
system, I would very much appreciate a copy of it.
