... Oh! <light dawns> I believe you read the comment wrong. It's _not_ saying "require gmime 3", it's saying don't enable gmime 3.0 by default even if installed, require enabling it to actually get it (because as I said it's still broken, but people might want to specifically enable it for testing anyway). IOW, you do *NOT* want to enable gmime3 if you want a working pan, you want it disabled!! Which it is according to the below output, so you're good to go. =:^) > I checked out all the config options but found nothing > for gmime3: > > [arnuld@arch64 pan2]$ ./autogen.sh --prefix="/usr" --with-gtkspell > --with-gtk3 --with-webkit --enable-libnotify --with-gnutls > --enable-manual --with-gmime-crypto > > Configuration: > > Prefix: /usr > Source code location: . > Compiler: g++ > With D-Bus: no > With GMime 3.0: no > With GMime crypto: yes > With GtkSpell: yes > With GTK+ 3: yes >= 3.0.0 > With WebKitGTK+: yes > With GnuTLS: yes (3.5.16) > With libnotify: yes > With password storage: no > With yelp-tools: yes > With user manual: yes > > Now type 'make' to compile Pan [arnuld@arch64 pan2]$ However, even if you actually want it disabled and it already is, so you should be good to go, the question remains a valid one, because it's often useful knowing how to hard-enable or hard-disable things and not just depend on automatic detection and defaults. Certainly, gentoo users at least don't want "automagic" detection and strongly prefer hard- enabling or hard-disabling (generally controlled on gentoo via USE flags), because otherwise the package manager doesn't track the dependency and can uninstall a depended library and break the package. So gentooers at least have a strong interest in being able to hard-enable or hard-disable options, and indeed, a good part of gentoo's maintainer patching is often adding or unbreaking options to hard-enable or hard- disable various deps, where the upstream option is either missing or broken. And other distro users doing their own builds will likely have similar wants/needs, tho they may not be as strong if they're doing builds manually anyway. So the question remains worth finding an answer to. Note that I consider myself /far/ from an expert in autotools or pre- build configuration in general. Never-the-less, between reading the configure help output, checking what the existing gentoo ebuilds do for existing options, and reading git log and git show and/or patches directly when I need to trace a known change, I can often-to-usually get the config I want/need after a bit of experimentation... OK, seeing the output above, and noting for example --with-gnutls corresponds to With Gnutls: yes, while --enable-libnotify corresponds to With libnotify: yes, and being familiar with both patterns, at first guess I'd say try variants of --with-gmime-3.0=yes and --enable-gmime-30 (or --without-gmime3 or --with-gmime-3.0=no and --disable-gmime3 to hard disable it) and see if one of them works. But since we know the commit to check we can do better than first-guess by simply seeing which variant it uses, and what its defaults are. And we see this in the patch/commit (lines wrapped and separated with vertical space): +AC_ARG_WITH([gmime30], + AS_HELP_STRING([--with-gmime30],[enable GMime 3.0 support (experimental, normally: no)]), [want_gmime30=$withval], [want_gmime30=no]) +if test "x$want_gmime30" = "xyes" ; then See that --with-gmime30 ? So I'd try --with-gmime30 or --with-gmime30=yes to hard-enable, and --without-gmime30 or --with-gmime30=no to hard-disable. Now we know it's the --with variant, and it's gmime30, not gmime3 or gmime-3.0 or the like. But as I said I'm not an expert, and I don't remember nor do I see it easily visible in the patch so I'd have to look it up or (easier) actually try it to see whether it's the --with-gmime30=yes/no variant, or the --with/without-gmime30 variant. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
