#31 osmo fails to build against libsyncml-0.5

[M. B.]

Osmo 0.2.4 and osmo 0.2.8 both fail to build against libsyncml 0.5, since libsyncml experienced an api-change from 0.4 -> 0.5.

Support of 0.4 is not desirable since that in turn depends on deprecated libsoup-2.2 - anything below libsoup 2.24+ (2.4 branch) is considered deprecated and without support now.

Dont' you just hate it when you chase a "setup" bug for a few hours, only to find it's been reported for a few years ^^

heh.
so yeah +1 here. FWIW.

EDIT:

libsyncml: 0.4.6 is the only version that contains the openobex headers

https://libsyncml.opensync.org/wiki/libsyncml-0.4.6-notes

http://libsyncml.opensync.org/download/releases/0.4.6/

https://libsyncml.opensync.org/browser/tags/libsyncml-0.4.6

Any later version of libsyncml doesn't appear to have these files (ref: http://bugs.gentoo.org/269187) and makes compilation fail.

Same problem appears at Debian Wheezy (libsyncml-dev 0.5.4).
Osmo revision 937 from svn (trunk).

Since version 0.2.12 the SyncML support has been removed. Sorry.
