+Build it
+========
-For installation, just type:
+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
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 libcompface for X-Face support.
+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 0.2.1 or later, and
-GnuPG 1.0.4f or later. You can get them from the following location:
+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/devel/
+ ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/pub/gcrypt/gnupg/
and append the option --enable-gpgme after ./configure.
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:
