Installation ============ This program requires GTK+ 1.2.6 or higher to be compiled. This program is developed on Debian GNU/Linux (woody) (Linux 2.2.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: o Debian GNU/Linux (woody/sid) (glibc 2.2) o Kondara MNU/Linux (glibc 2.1.x) 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 Laser5 Linux 6.0 (glibc 2.1.x) o Laser5 Linux 6.2 (glibc 2.1.x) o Laser5 Linux 6.4 (glibc 2.1.x) o TurboLinux 4.0 (glibc 2.0.7 + libwcsmbs) o TurboLinux 6.0 (glibc 2.1.2) 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 o RedHat Linux 7.1 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 Linux MLD4 o Linux MLD5 o Plamo Linux 2.0 o Slackware 7.1 o Linux Mandrake 7.0 o Linux Mandrake 7.1 o Linux Mandrake 7.2 o Linux Mandrake 8.0 o SuSE Linux 6.3 (glibc 2.1.2) o SuSE Linux 6.4 o SuSE Linux 7.0 o SuSE Linux 7.1 o OpenLinux 2.3 (glibc 2.1.1 -> 2.1.3) o Caldera OpenDesktop 2.4 o Conectiva Linux 4.0 o Conectiva Linux 5.0 o Vector Linux 1.5 o FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE o FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE o FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE o FreeBSD 4.1-RELEASE o FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE o FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT o NetBSD 1.4.2 o NetBSD 1.5 + XPG4DL o OpenBSD 2.7 o OpenBSD 2.8 (i386) o OpenBSD 2.9 o BSD/OS 4.0.1 o Solaris 2.5 o Solaris 2.5.2 o Solaris 2.6 o Solaris 7 o Solaris 8 o IRIX 6.3 o IRIX 6.5 6.5.8m o HP-UX 10.20 o Mac OS X (Darwin 1.3) + Xtools (has locale problem) o Windows (cygwin + GTK+ for win32) (unstable) For installation, just type: % ./configure % make % su Password: [Enter password] # make install I recommend you to install gdk-pixbuf or gdk_imlib library before installing for built-in image view support, and libcompface for X-Face support. If you want to enable multithread support, append the option --enable-threads after ./configure. WARNING: Multithread support is still in an experimental stage, and it DOESN'T work correctly. DON'T use it unless you want to hack it. If you want to enable IPv6 support, append the option --enable-ipv6 after ./configure. If you want to enable GnuPG support, you need GPGME 0.2.1 or later, and GnuPG 1.0.4f or later. You can get them from the following location: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/pub/gcrypt/alpha/gpgme/ ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/pub/gcrypt/devel/ 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. If the installation of Sylpheed failed, check all needed libraries are correctly installed. If it still failed, please send bug report to: Hiroyuki Yamamoto
