Advice on Builds, installs

[Hank Ivy]

I downloaded the SYNCE version 16 code around April 5, 2010.
I have been able to successfully make many of the 39 folders of code.
I expect to finish the makes later this week.

Are there any folders I should not bother making?
Are there any folders I should not bother to install?
Do you have any suggestions about test procedures, or plans?
Have enough code changes been made that I should update my source code from
sourceforge?

I have an HP IPAQ that is about 6 years old.
My main system is a Linux Mandriva 2010.0 official release.
I usually use a KDE desktop.
It keeps my email messages, contact lists, to-do lists, and appointments.
I use kmail, and the other k- apps for the lists, etc.
I want to synchronize the IPAQ with my main system.

The Mandriva release just barely talks to the IPAQ.
It is using some variant of SYNCE.
It recognizes the IPAQ, (more details later).
The user apps can tell me the correct battery level.
That is about all.

-------------

The system sees the IPAQ.
