RPM/SRPM

* Notice *
I replaced the system builds rpms with Vine Linux 2.6(based on RedHat-7.2).

* Notice *
I built rpms against gpgme library experimentally. If you have any suggestions that I should continue to link gpgme, these rpms are unable to install, etc., please mail me.

Binary rpm

If you are using glibc-2.2 or newer systems, you can use the following rpm. This rpm compiled on Vine Linux which is a distribution based on RedHat 7.2

This requires rpm of imlib, gpgme.
* RPMS(i386): sylpheed-0.9.7-1.i386.rpm

These are i386.rpm of GnuPG/GPGME. You don't need -devel rpm to use sylpheed-0.9.7-1.i386.rpm.
* RPMS(i386): gnupg-1.0.7-b1.i386.rpm
* RPMS(i386): gpgme-0.3.10-b1.i386.rpm
* RPMS(i386): gpgme-devel-0.3.10-b1.i386.rpm

Source rpm

If you are using Linux distribution that is based glibc 2.0 or others, type the following commands to create rpm from src.rpm after installing gtk+-devel rpm.

 $ unset LINGUAS
 $ rpm --rebuild sylpheed-0.9.7-1.src.rpm

* SRPM: sylpheed-0.9.7-1.src.rpm

If you want to add flags of ./configure, like --enable-ssl, use SYLPHEED_CONFIGURE_FLAGS shell variable. like this:

 $ export SYLPHEED_CONFIGURE_FLAGS="--enable-ssl"
 $ rpm --rebuild {#sylpheed_rpm}.src.rpm

If you use like .bash_profile, you needn't type every time.

These are src.rpm of gnupg/gpgme. * SRPM: gnupg-1.0.7-b1.src.rpm
* SRPM: gpgme-0.3.10-b1.src.rpm

Binary rpm from official tarballs

You can also build rpm from the official tarballs. If you want to use them, download the tarball and type this:

rpm -ta --clean sylpheed-0.9.7.tar.gz

But you can't get an icon for the GNOME menu.

Binary rpm for PPC

You can get rpms for PPC from there.
