To compile and install, just type: % ./configure % make % su Password: [Enter password] # make install Additional libraries ==================== Compface library is required for X-Face support. You can get compface utilities and library from the following location: http://freshmeat.net/projects/compface/ GnuPG (>= 1.2.0) and GPGME (>= 1.0.0) are required for GnuPG (PGP) support. You can get GnuPG and GPGME from the following location: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gpgme/ ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gnupg/ GtkSpell is required for spell checking feature. http://gtkspell.sourceforge.net/ OpenSSL is required for SSL support. http://www.openssl.org/ Pilot-link is required for JPilot support. http://www.pilot-link.org/ OpenLDAP library is required for LDAP support. http://www.openldap.org/ Curl command is required if you want to use update check feature. http://curl.haxx.se/ Options for configure script ============================ --disable-gpgme disable GnuPG support (requires GPGME and GnuPG) --disable-ssl disable SSL support (requires OpenSSL) --disable-compface disable compface (X-Face) support --disable-gtkspell disable spell checking feature (requires GtkSpell) --disable-threads disable multi-threading support --disable-ipv6 disable IPv6 support --disable-updatecheck disable update check feature (updatecheckplugin will also be disabled) --disable-updatecheckplugin disable plug-in update check feature --enable-jpilot enable JPilot support --enable-ldap enable LDAP support --enable-oniguruma use Oniguruma instead of system's regex For other options, refer to ./configure --help . If the installation of Sylpheed failed, check whether all the required libraries are correctly installed. If it still failed, please send bug report to: Hiroyuki Yamamoto
