This might sound like an obvious question, but can I build syncEvolution
without install Evolution itself? I don't use Evolution, rather Thunderbird
and am interested in syncEvolution for its synching directly over Bluetooth.
I would then synch via Fundambol and its corresponding TB extension.

Yes. The configure script defaults to building with Evolution and
complains if the development files are not found, but using
--disable-ebook --disable-ecal will tell it to proceed anyway.

I don't quite see how SyncEvolution gets involved here. Do you mean that
you'll sync TB<->Funambol<->SyncEvolution<->phone? That's
possible, but
wouldn't it be easier to sync Funambol and the phone directly?
Or use SyncEvolution as local SyncML server and sync
TB<->SyncEvolution<->phone.
In both case you can use the local file backend in SyncEvolution to
store data.

Thanks. I'm getting somewhere with the compilation, though have
reached an error. Attached is the build log.
So far, I have installed the following dependencies:
* openobex
* bluez
makedepends:
* autoconf
* boost
* pkgconfig
... referring to this page on the wiki:
http://syncevolution.org/wiki/packaging-syncevolution
Have I missed any?

It probably would be except Funambol doesn't support SyncML OBEX over
Bluetooth directly (it uses HTTP bindings).
There is a guide
(https://core.forge.funambol.org/wiki/FunambolOverBluetooth) that uses
a Bluetooth PAN, but it's laborious and was unsuccessful for me
nonetheless.
Or use SyncEvolution as local SyncML server and sync
TB<->SyncEvolution<->phone.
In both case you can use the local file backend in SyncEvolution to
store data.
That would be more of an ideal approach. I'll read up about the local
file backend. First step is to get syncEvo installed :)

No, you found a bug in the configure scripts. You compile the
SoupTransportAgent, which happens to depend on glib-dev, but that isn't
enabled in the configure script. I can reproduce the failure and have a
fix.
You can fix this in two ways:
1. use --enable-dbus-service - this happens to pull in glib; you'll
need that anyway if you want to synchronize TB directly with
SyncEvolution, the syncevo-http-server depends on it
2. apply the attached patch

It probably would be except Funambol doesn't support SyncML OBEX over
Bluetooth directly (it uses HTTP bindings).
In other words, you run the Funambol server locally and can access it
with TB and SyncEvolution, but not the phone. In that case a local sync
with SyncEvolution as server may be the simpler setup.
See http://syncevolution.org/development/http-server-howto

file backend.
The HOWTO mentioned above shows how to set it up.
First step is to get syncEvo installed :)
Note that you can install the binaries from syncevolution.org, if one of
them fits your platform. They contain the Evolution backend, but will
install and run fine without Evolution installed.

Great! I used the first method and am able to compile fine. Many thanks.
I now have another question regarding phone templates that I'll branch
off into a new topic.
