Sync'ing with Windows CE
 

I'm on an ~amd64 platform and I have a Windows CE device connected
through a serial port that I need to upload to and download from.

What kind of programs are available for sync'ing with a Windows CE
device? Which ones work the best? How can I connect and browse the
device through a terminal on my Gentoo box?

I see in the app-pda (emerge --search @app-pda) there are quite a few
options, but they're all masked.

Thanks in advance.

I can't really help, because I no longer have the WindowsCE phone or the KDE
applications that I used to communicate with it. I recall it needed librapi
libsynce synce-dccm synce-multisync-plugin synce-serial amidst other KDE front
ends. It did work (sort of) but it would not sync with Kontact.

Irrespective of a KDE front end which I don't know if it is available in
KDE-4.4 you may be able to do things via a console.

Hopefully someone who's still using such a phone will be able to offer better
and more up to date advice.

there's a howto on gentoo forum :

For my own, I can't setup plugins using the python script, it stop on libxslt. What is yours ?



Can you emerge libopensync or does it fail ?
