[Opensync-users] opensync svn install error & other questions

[Benjamin A. <ben...@gm...>]

Hi!

I just checked out opensync from svn and ran ./autogen.sh (which started 
configure, I guess). Since I didn't want stuff to go to /usr/local, but 
just /usr, I reran "./configure --prefix=/usr", then "make", then "make 
install", which yielded the following errors:

test -z "/usr//lib/opensync/formats" || 
mkdir -p -- "/usr//lib/opensync/formats"
 /bin/sh ../../libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c  'xml-vcard.la' '/usr//lib/opensync/formats/xml-vcard.la'

Is that my fault, or did noone else try installing to another prefix yet?

A couple more questions:

The Samsung SGH D600 I'm trying to sync uses syncml 1.1 on windows. How are my 
chances of the phone syncing at least partially with the syncml-plugin?

Can I use the USB cable for syncing, or will I have to use Bluetooth? Will the 
transport be OBEX or HTTP?

Is http://www.opensync.org/wiki/syncml-guide still up-to-date? Do I still need 
to patch even wbxml's svn?

Whew, so many questions... Thanks for your help!
