Cygwin port of Claws Mail (Sylpheed-Claws) claws-mail

Cygwin port of Claws Mail (Sylpheed-Claws)

Here is the cygwin port of claws mail (formerly sylpheed-claws), a GTK+ based, lightweighted, and fast e-mail client. (a screenshot on cygwin)

=> current: 3.1.0-1 simply built on cygwin, without gnomeprint and LDAP support
=> testing: (none) enabled LDAP and gnomeprint support, and has some cygwin specific changes (cygwin_locale, FAT32 utime_dir) and a few my shabby patches (experimental undelete feature, tear-off menu item) I'm no longer providing the 'testing' branch, as on win32 I've switched to Mozilla Thunderbird. Sorry.
=> how to build it by yourself?

Current Version: 3.1.0-1

        c laws-mail-devel-3.1.0-1.tar.bz2        (include files and export libraries, you need this if you wanto build thire-party plugins by your self)
        c laws-mail-extra-plugins-3.1.0-1.tar.bz2 (extra plugins, except for acpi_notifiier, pdf_viewer, perl_plugin and synce. requires claws-mail-3.0.0)
        claws-mail-themes-20070116-1.tar.bz2 (icon sets)

       how to install: you can unpack manually, but I recommend you use my simple script :

        claws-mail-3.1.0.orig.tar.bz2   (original source tarball)
        claws-mail-3.1.0-1.sh            (cygwin build script)
                     how to build:        (no patch required)

$ wget http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sylpheec-claws/claws-mail-3.0.1.tar.bz2
$ ./claws-mail-3.0.1-1.sh all

      claws-mail-extra-plugins-3.1.0.orig.tar.bz2
        claws-mail-extra-plugins-3.1.0-1.patch
                    how to build:

# make sure you've got header files and libraries (or package claws-mail-devel installed)
$ tar xf claws-mail-extra-plugins-3.0.0.orig.tar.bz2
$ cd claws-mail-extra-plugins-3.0.0
$ patch -p1 < ../claws-mail-extra-plugins-3.0.0-1.patch # this patch would create build_cygwin.sh and CYGWIN-PATCHES/ folder.
$ ./build_cygwin.sh all # or `./build_cygwin.sh package [patch|conf|build|install]'
$ ./build_cygwin.sh package

Testing Version: 2.7.0-1t

Diffent from the above one, this one is built with the following options/modifications:

gnomeprint support enabled (thus libgnomeprint22 and libgnomeprintui22 required)
some patches to workaround for cygwin's poor locale support ( provided by David Huang)
utime patch for FAT file system (provided by David Huang)
my undelete patch: press DEL on messages already marked to be deleted, the mark would be reset
New: my tearoff menuitem patch: the main menu could be torn-off

Run-time requirements:

Mostly the same with the above one, with some exceptions

LDAP support enabled, thus at least package libopenldap2_2_7(>=2.2.26) required
GnomePrint support enabled in this build, thus package libgnomeprint22(>=2.10.3-1) and libgnomeprintui22(>=2.10.2-1) (and also libgnomecanvas2>=2.12.0, libart_lgpl>=1.4.2) are required

How to build it by your self?

Fetch the source tarball

The original source package could be found from
http://www.claws-mail.org
http://sourceforge.net/projects/sylpheed-claws

PreReq

Make sure you have installed the include files and libraries for glib2, gtk2 and other libraries.

Note that to ensure DLLs could be correctly generated, your binutils and libtool-devel should be new enough, I used libtool-devel-20030216 and binutils-20030307.

Additional libraries:
For ssl support, you need
    openssl
    openssl-devel
For aspell support, you need
    libaspell15
    aspell-devel-dev
For ldap support, you need
    minires
    minires-devel
    gmp
    openssl
    openssl-devel
    libopenldap2
    openldap-devel
For compface support, you need
    compface
For libgnomeprint support, you need
    libgnomeprint22
    libgnomeprintui22
    lignomecanvas2
    libart_lgpl

Build Steps

Unpack source of claws-mail, and apply the following patch
    $ patch -p1 -b < claws-mail-1.9.15-1.patch

Use the generic-build-script to build:
    $ ./claws-mail-2.7.0-1.sh all

or you can execute the steps one by one:
# unpack source package, create some directories
    $ ./claws-mail-2.7.0-1.sh prep
# apply patches
    $ ./claws-mail-2.7.0-1.sh patch
# execute ./configure in ${srcdir}/.build/
    $ ./claws-mail-2.7.0-1.sh config
# start building
    $ ./claws-mail-2.7.0-1.sh make
# install to DESTDIR i.e. ${srcdir}/.inst
    $ ./claws-mail-2.7.0-1.sh install
# install additional files to DESTDIR i.e. ${srcdir}/.inst
    $ ./claws-mail-2.7.0-1.sh install_part2
# create binrary package
    $ ./claws-mail-2.7.0-1.sh package
# if you made some modification, use this command to regenerate the source patch
    $ ./claws-mail-2.7.0-1.sh mkpatch

Troubleshooting

- when configuring, it compliains that `gtk+-2.0 > 2.4.0' not satisfied
please check your version of pkg-config, 0.17.2-1 won't work.
if `pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0' outputs like the following:
     -Wl,--export-dynamic -lgtk-x11-2.0
please upgrade to 0.17.2-2, or downgrade to 0.15.
(the right output should be:
   -Wl,--export-dynamic -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -latk-1.0
   -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lpangoxft-1.0 -lXft -lfreetype -lz -lXrender -lXext
   -lfontconfig -lpangox-1.0 -lX11 -lpango-1.0 -lm -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0
   -lglib-2.0 -lintl -liconv
)

- libtool complains /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender.la could not be found: link: `/usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender.la' is not a valid libtool archive
edit your /usr/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.la, remove '/usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender.la'
I don't know how the non-existing file /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender.la got into /usr/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.la   :-(
(when building plugin clamav, you'll got the same error on '/usr/lib/libbz2.la' and '/usr/lib/libz.la', you need to modify /usr/lib/libclamav.la. I don't know 'libbz2.la' came from, as there's no such file in current cygwin package repository.)

Known Issues

As plugin spamassassin_gtk depends on plugin spamassassin, in which the latter is also a loadable module, but libtool would fail when performing 'libtool --mode=install' on spamassassin_gtk.la. You have to use 'make -i install' to workaround this.

Plugin pgpinline and pgpmime have the same problems (they depend on plugin pgpcore).
