As I understood it hal wasn't necessary on a Mac, OS X provides its own hardware abstraction layer. Is there a specific reason you need hal? Maybe someone can suggest an alternative route to the same end if you give us some contact.

There was another thread by another user recently asking similar questions. I recommended using either Fink or MacPorts in order to have these solutions available to Mac OS X for the sake of those UNIX apps that require them (which might also be available under either MacPorts or Fink).

for building synce i needed hal, because it is dependent on synce-hal.

I don't understand why you would need to include your e-mail, but if you install either Fink or MacPorts on your Mac, then you should be able to get the hal dependencies that you need installed.
