Another follow up to my previous post.
I removed the Ubuntu synce packages to try and get synce workign with version
0.10 compiled from source.
I installed the following packages from the sourceforge sources:
libsynce-0.10.0
synce-sync-engine-0.10.0
synce-serial-0.10.0
odccm-0.10.0
All the packages built and installed once their depedencies were installed.
However I could not get odccm to start:
# odccm -f
** ERROR **: Failed to get bus name: Connection ":1.35" is not allowed to own
the service "org.synce.odccm" due to security policies in the configuration
file aborting...
Aborted (core dumped)
I've tried executing odccm as my normal user and root. Each time I run it, the
number following 'Connection ":1.' changes, seemlingly incremental by one on
each try.
I installed vdccm so I could finish the testing.
Once complete, I plugged in the ipaq:

Executed vdccm:
$ vdccm -f -d 3
Configured and ran the connection script:
--- SNIP ---
$ sudo synce-serial-config ttyUSB0
You can now run synce-serial-start to start a serial connection.
$ sudo synce-serial-start
synce-serial-start is now waiting for your device to connect
--- SNIP ---
This time the device did indeed connect! The connection progress pop-up was
shown on the ipaq, and once complete the activesync icon was shown.
PPP output:
--- SNIP ---

Hopefully this is helpful for other people using WM5 and Ubuntu. The packages
are just too old, and I can't seem to find alternate sources for packages
based on the 0.10 release.
If some do exist, please let me know. I'll contact the package maintainers to
ask about upgrading synce in Ubuntu.
I'd still appreciate any help on why odccm fails to run... Please let me know
if I can help with debugging.
Thanks,
~Paul
