Sorry for the long post, but I am happy right now. I finally got sick
and tired of that horrible GTK1 version of Sylpheed. It was really the
only app I still used regularly that used it. So I went on a treasure
hunt to find a gtk2 port of sylpheed, and guess what I found?
Sylpheed-claws's cvs holds a gtk2 branch! I checked it out, compiled it,
and tried it. It's even the newest version: 0.9.8. Check my X-Mailer:
header. Anyway, I may make an RPM for it once I figure a couple more
things out. Here's what you can do to get it yourself:
1. cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/sylpheed-claws login
press enter when the password prompt comes up.
2. cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/sylpheed-claws co -r gtk2
sylpheed-claws
^^^That is one line
3.change into the sylpheed-claws directory.
4. Open the file configure.ac and change line 63 from
AC_CONFIG_HEADERS(config.h)
to
AM_CONFIG_HEADER(config.h)
5. Then save it, and run autogen.sh.
type make, then become root and type make install.
Enjoy your new gtk2 sylpheed-claws
