How to obtain SynCE-KDE

You can download precompiled tar.gz, rpm, and deb packages from the SourceForge Project Page.

Debian User

Just now, the SynCE-KDE deb packages are designed for debian unstable (sid). I will try to provide packages for stable and testing as soon as possible. Until than you have to compile SynCE-KDE yourself from source if you are a debian-stable or debian-testing user.

The packages are prepared to honor all dependencies including those coming from the SynCE libraries. Most of the SynCE libraries are already part of debian-unstable. So these packages are installed automatically if you try to install SynCE-KDE. Unfortunately, just now there is no official debian packages of synce-rra-0.8 available. To still be able to install SynCE-KDE please compile and install synce-rra-0.8 before using SynCE-KDE.

Packages could be downloaded from the SourceForge Project Page or installed directly over the network from our debian repository at SourceForge.

  • Add the following two lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
    deb http://synce.sourceforge.net/debian/ unstable/$(ARCH)/
    deb-src http://synce.sourceforge.net/debian/ unstable/source/

  • Update your package lists:
    # apt-get update

  • Install SynCE-KDE:
    # apt-get install synce-kde

  • Install the development packages. This is only needed it you intend to develop synchronizer for RAKI:
    # apt-get install synce-kde-dev

The source of SynCE-KDE is also available from the repository.

  • Install the development packages. This is only needed it you intend to develop synchronizer for RAKI:
    # apt-get install synce-kde-dev

RedHat User

The rpm packages are designed for RedHat 9.

Slackware User

The precompiled package synce-kde-0.6.1.tgz has been compiled on Slackware 9.

CVS User

If you are interested in testing bleeding edge software you could also check out the latest code directly from CVS by issuing the command

# cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/synce co synce-kde

after logging in. Look at Compiling and Installing for a guide how to compile and install SynCE-KDE by yourself.
