Re: [Opensync-users] Hi there [synce-plugin]

[Danny B. <dan...@sc...>]

Mirko, and others,

I tried the 0.01 version of the opensync synce plugin. My system has
Mandrake 10.1 installed, my PDA is a Mio 168 (like Mirko's). The
version of opensync is=20
	# msynctool --version
	This is msynctool version "0.90.14"
	using OpenSync version "0.14"

Three remarks from my initial test :
1. It wouldn't compile without removing -Werror from src/Makefile.
   The error was
	synce_plugin.c:551: warning: implicit declaration of function
`osync_plugin_new_info'

   Later, I would discover that this was related to the next remark.

2. After that, msynctool --listplugins didn't pick up the new library.
   Setting OSYNC_TRACE made me discover that the symbol
	osync_plugin_new_info()
   was used by the plugin, but not defined by my installation of
   opensync. Looking through the material on opensync.org makes me
   conclude that the synce-plugin, and some of the material on
   opensync.org, are referring to a newer version of the API than
   what I have.
   So I edited the get_info call to start with this :
	void get_info(OSyncPluginInfo *info)
	{
   instead of
        void get_info(OSyncPluginInfo *env)
	{
	   OSyncPluginInfo *info =3D osync_plugin_new_info((void*)env);

   Can someone comment on these API versions ?

3. I could then set up everything with msynctool. I added a pair to
   synchronize between synce and the file-sync plugin.

   The first attempt to synchronize did some work (and left a lot of
   files in the file-sync directory), but then msynctool crashed. Gdb
   shows the following stack trace :

   A second attempt to synchronize required me to answer a lot of
   questions to solve synchronisation problems, but eventually the
   synchronisation succeeded.
