Introduction

IC35Link provides tools to communicate with the Siemens IC35 organizer over a serial port (like pilot-link does for the PalmPilot). The primary goal was to help IC35 users working with the KDE KOrganizer and/or Gnome addressbook and calendar synchronize their data with the IC35. It was implemented under GNU/Linux with POSIX compatibility in mind, so I'd like to hear if it works with other Unix Systems.

See also the IC35Link project page at SourceForge.

Included in the IC35Link package are:

Starting with version 1.17 the package is named ic35link, because it provides more than just IC35 synchronization under GNU/Linux.
Up to version 1.16 the package name was ic35sync.

Development

The cutting edge of IC35Link development is accessable through anonymous (pserver) CVS in the ic35link CVS repository .
You can also browse the ic35link CVS repository to view the current status of the code and the complete histories of any file.

The ic35link CVS repository can be checked out through anonymous (pserver) CVS with the following instructions:

  1. Make sure you have a working version of CVS for your operating system.
    If you are going to update an existing version, you may directly jump to step 5.
  2. For convenience set a variable in the shell using
      CVSREP=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ic35link.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ic35link
    (for POSIX compatible shells).
  3. Log in to the CVS repository using
      cvs -d $CVSREP login
    When prompted for a password for anonymous, simply press the Enter key.
  4. Create a subdirectory ic35link with all the files using
      cvs -z3 -d $CVSREP checkout ic35link
    Please consult the documentation on CVS for details and available options, the option -z3 above is for compressed download.
  5. After the initial checkout you can update your files according to the CVS repository. Change to the ic35link directory and type
      cvs -z3 update
    This saves time and bandwidth.
After initial checkout from CVS or if configure.in or some Makefile.am was updated, change to your ic35link directory and run
  sh autogen.sh
to regenerate the configure script and Makefile.in. You will need the autoconf and automake packages for your operating system.
See the ic35link README section "Installation" for more details.
