the install text file says this:
o To compile you need:
* QT Library 3.3.3 (c++ headers and binary lib)
* libusb-devel 0.8 (headers and binary lib)
* g++

Installing
========
1. qmake
make

2. Now you can run application.

can anyone tell me what that means? well enough that if i see something like that in the future i'll know what to do? again, sorry for all the questions...i'm trying.

I've grabbed all the dependencies, and moto4lin from the cvs repository but when I go to "make" the file I'm getting a error.

~/moto4lin$ make
bash: make: command not found

Am I missing some other dependency or am I just lucky?

try sudo apt-get install make that should fix your problem

Hopefully.

HI - I'm trying to connect a V3i on Edgy. The connection seems to work (the phone gets recognised) in P2K mode but then I get the following errors:

[info] Phone connected as P2K
[error] Unable to get phone model
[error] Unable to get drive name
[error] Unable to get file count
[error] Unable to get drive name
Getting file list
[info] Found drives: [ ?¨H· 1U· ]
[info] Search request: [?¨H·/|*]
[debug] Unable to execute search request
[info] Search request: [1U· /|*]
[debug] Unable to execute search request
Complete

Any suggestions?

Hello Ubuntu family. I was wondering if anyone has gotten moto4Lin to recognize the Motorola Slvr L7 to do some seem editing? I need to enable the Java app loder on my phone so that I can install Blooover. Any help will be greatl appreciated.

Thank you

Fwiw, I could not get moto4lin to work with my Razr using the package found in the Edgy repository no matter what I tried. I read every post in this thread about 3 times and tried every solution I was able to Google for. But I had not built it from svn as a couple of posters had suggested. When I did that, EUREKA!, it worked straight away!

So what I would suggest for anyone who, like me, was having troubles getting the darn thing to work to build it from scratch using the instructions found here:

Ok I downloaded the svn version but I don't know where I downloaded it too. Is there a default directory where all svn packages get put in?

Thanks

[mlenis]

Im installing it as I type. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Thanks
