Installation ============ This program requires GTK+ 1.2.6 or higher to be compiled. This program is developed on Debian GNU/Linux (woody/sid) (Linux 2.4.x + glibc 2.2), so it is possible not to work correctly on the other environment. It is confirmed to work on the following environments: Linux o Debian GNU/Linux unstable (sid) (glibc 2.2.x) o Debian GNU/Linux testing (woody) (glibc 2.2.x) o Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 (potato) (glibc 2.1.3) o Kondara MNU/Linux (glibc 2.1.x) o Kondara MNU/Linux 1.2 o Kondara MNU/Linux 2.0 o Vine Linux 1.1 (glibc 2.0.x + libwcsmbs) o Vine Linux 2.0 (glibc 2.1.x) (Intel, PPC) o Vine Linux 2.1 o Vine Linux 2.1.5 o Laser5 Linux 6.0 / 6.2 / 6.4 (glibc 2.1.x) o TurboLinux 4.0 (glibc 2.0.7 + libwcsmbs) o TurboLinux 6.0 (glibc 2.1.2) o TurboLinux 7.0 (glibc 2.2.x) o Miracle Linux Standard Edition Version1.0 o Miracle Linux for PostgreSQL Version1.0 o Miracle Linux for Samba Version1.0 o RedHat Linux 5.2 (glibc 2.0.7) o RedHat Linux 6.0 o RedHat Linux 6.1 + Helix GNOME (glibc 2.1.x) o RedHat Linux 6.2 / 6.2J (glibc 2.1.x) o RedHat Linux 7.0 / 7.0J / 7.1 / 7.2 / 7.3 o LinuxPPC2000 + Yukikaze(Japanization kit) o Linux2000G (Intel / PPC) o HOLON Linux 2.0 (Intel / PPC) o Linux for PPC Japanese Edition 2.0 (glibc 2.1.x) o Linux for PPC Japanese Edition 3.0 (glibc 2.1.x) o LinuxPPC Q4 2000 (glibc 2.1.x) o Linux MLD4 o Linux MLD5 o Plamo Linux 2.0 / 2.1 / 2.2.x / 3.0-alpha o Slackware 7.0 / 7.1 / 8.0 o Linux Mandrake 7.0 / 7.1 / 7.2 / 8.0 / 8.1 o SuSE Linux 6.3 (glibc 2.1.2) o SuSE Linux 6.4 o SuSE Linux 7.0 / 7.1 / 7.2 / 7.3 o OpenLinux 2.3 (glibc 2.1.1 -> 2.1.3) o Caldera OpenDesktop 2.4 o Caldera Workstation 3.1 o Conectiva Linux 4.0 / 5.0 / 7.0 / 8.0 o Vector Linux 1.5 o Yellow Dog Linux 2.0 (glibc 2.2.1) o Yellow Dog Linux 2.1 (PowerPC) o ASP Linux 7.2 (glibc 2.2.4) o Redmond Linux (Lycoris) o Gentoo Linux 1.x BSD o FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE o FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE o FreeBSD 4.0/4.1/4.2/4.3/4.4/4.5/4.6-RELEASE o FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT o NetBSD 1.4.2 o NetBSD 1.5 + XPG4DL o NetBSD 1.5.1 / 1.5.2 o OpenBSD 2.7 o OpenBSD 2.8 (i386) o OpenBSD 2.9 / 3.0 / 3.1 o BSD/OS 4.0.1 Other commercial Unix o Solaris 2.5 / 2.5.1 / 2.6 o Solaris 7 / 8 o IRIX 6.3 / 6.4 / 6.5 6.5.8m o HP-UX 10.20 / 11.0 / 11i o Tru64 Unix 5.0 (OSF1 V5.0) o SCO UnixWare 7 o Mac OS X 10.1.4 (Darwin 5.4) + XDarwin (without XLocale support) + libxpg4 Others o Windows (MSVC + GTK+ for win32) (in progress) Build it ======== Please make sure that gtk-devel and glib-devel (or similar) packages are installed before the compilation (you may also require flex (lex) and bison (yacc)). To compile and install, just type: % ./configure % make % su Password: [Enter password] # make install Additional libraries ==================== I recommend you to install gdk-pixbuf or gdk_imlib library before installing for built-in image view support, and compface library for X-Face support. You can get compface utilities and library from the following location: http://freshmeat.net/projects/compface/ Sylpheed supports US-ASCII, ISO-8859-1, and EUC-JP by default. If you want other character set / encoding (such as UTF-8, KOI8-R, and GB2312) to be supported, you have to install libjconv, which is a wrapper for iconv(). You can obtain it from the following location: http://www.kondara.org/libjconv/index.html If you want to enable SSL support, append the option --enable-ssl after ./configure (you need OpenSSL). If you want to enable IPv6 support, append the option --enable-ipv6 after ./configure. If you want to enable GnuPG support, you need GPGME 0.2.3 or later, and GnuPG 1.0.6 or later. You can get them from the following location: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/pub/gcrypt/alpha/gpgme/ ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/pub/gcrypt/gnupg/ and append the option --enable-gpgme after ./configure. WARNING: the GnuPG support is still in the development stage, and it may not work correctly. I suggest never to use a real key. Please use sample keys. For other options, refer to ./configure --help . If the installation of Sylpheed failed, check all needed libraries are correctly installed. If it still failed, please send bug report to: Hiroyuki Yamamoto
