I'm trying to build Pan from git for my first time. I used to build the tarballs up to 0.133 without problem. But git is new for me (I'm more used to cvs and subversion), and I don't use Linux (but NetBSD) or Gnome (although I do have some Gnome/Gtk programs). NetBSD's pkgsrc normally builds from source and installs the header files of the packages (so no split in a user and developer version, as is apparently common with Linux package systems).
Here are some things I ran into; maybe some of this can be simplified. - autogen.sh calls gnome-autogen.sh, which I didn't have. For my first try, I used a standard litany of calling the auto* tools. - gmime library version. Configure.in says GMIME_REQUIRED=2.1.9 yet it checks for the version with PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GMIME, gmime-2.4 >= $GMIME_REQUIRED) I do have version gmime-2.2.23 which is much higher than $GMIME_REQUIRED, yet it won't be accepted since the package is apparently called gmime-2.0 rather than gmime-2.4. - config.status: error: cannot find input file: po/Makefile.in.in This error appeared when I used the standard auto*-litany. When I hunted down gnome-autogen.sh it turned out it also did something with "glib-gettextize" which apparently fixed that. Fortunately the "gnome-common" package, which contains gnome-autogen.sh, wasn't as big as I had feared. - Getting somewhat further, when compiling, I got mime-utils.h:67: error: 'GMimeRecipientType' has not been declared message-check.cc: In static member function 'static void pan::MessageCheck::message_check(const GMimeMessage*, const pan::StringView&, const pan::quarks_t&, std::set<std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, std::less<std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > >, std::allocator<std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > > >&, pan::MessageCheck::Goodness&)': message-check.cc:472: error: invalid conversion from 'const InternetAddressList*' to 'InternetAddressList*' gmake[3]: *** [message-check.o] Error 1 The first error (in mime-utils.h) could be because of the unclear version specification of gmime (although I didn't fancy upgrading gmime at this moment, since it will break my old installed Pan) The second error (conversion from const to non-const) seems independent of that, but also disappeared after updating gmime. I'm using the resulting binary now and will report if I notice any particular problems. So, basically everything except the gmime version specification being inconsistent was due to my own reluctance (or stubbornness ;-) of not wanting to install/update stuff. -Olaf. -- ___ Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert -- You author it, and I'll reader it. \X/ rhialto/at/xs4all.nl -- Cetero censeo "authored" delendum esse. _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
