[Opensync-users] Trouble with syncml plugin

[Stefan A. <ml...@ar...>]

Hi,

I've successfully compiled and installed opensync with the syncml-plugin from 
svn on a Debian Sarge system. What caused me some trouble was patching the 
libsoup. libsyncml has a dependency to libsoup-2.2.4 in Makefile.ac. I've 
changed this to libsoup-2.2 and patched the Debian source package of 
libsoup-2.2 with libsyncml/misc/libsoup-2.2.3.patch. After that libsyncml 
compiles and installs fine. Maybe there should be a hint in libsyncml's 
readme, because this patching is not obvious, it took me some time to figure 
out...

I've added a msynctool group using the syncml-http-server and the testmodule 
(python) for running a first test.

When trying to sync, I get this:

# msynctool --sync syncml
Synchronizing group "syncml"
The previous synchronization was unlean. Slow-syncing
Connect called!!
Member 1 of type syncml-http-server had an error while connecting: (null)
Member 2 of type testmodule just connected
disconnect called!
Member 2 of type testmodule just disconnected
All clients have disconnected
The sync failed: Unable to connect one of the members
Error synchronizing: Unable to connect one of the members

syncml-http-server.conf contains:
<config><username>sam</username><password>mypass</password><url></url><port>8080</port>

IMHO the syncml plugin should start a server on port 8080 and wait for a 
client (e.g. syncml-capable smartphone) to connect to and the then nstart the 
sync. The above message appears instantly, so it is not waiting for a client 
connection.

Any hints?

Regards,
Stefan
