<sect1>Nuts and bolts of installation
<p>
<itemize>
<item>Download the latest version of the Sylpheed package from
<url url="http://sylpheed.good-day.net/" name="http://sylpheed.good-day.net/">
</item>
<item>Untar the sourcefiles to a new directory
<item>tar -xvfz sylpheed-.tar.gz (for tar.gz)
<item>tar -xvfI sylpheed-.tar.bz2 (for tar.bz2)
<item>cd to the new sylpheed- directory
<item>Run ./configure to check your environment and create the installation make files
<item>Run the 'make' program which will compile the sources. Do not proceed with this step if there are fatal errors in the previous step. Fatal errors indicate that things are missing in order to compile Sylpheed properly.
</itemize>
<p>
If the make process has completed, run "make install" (as root), to install the program and the supportfiles
<sect2>Compiling Sylpheed with options<label id="compile_sylpheed">
<p>
You can choose to compile Sylpheed with some optional features enabled.
Use <it>./configure --help</it> to list configuration syntax and options.
<p>
The following optional features can be enabled:
<itemize>
<item>
<it>Jpilot</it>: to use you PDA addressbook with Sylpheed. You will
need the <it>Jpilot</it> library (and <it>pilot-link</it>, too).
Enable this option with the <it>--enable-jpilot</it> configure switch.
</item>
<item>
<it>GnuPG</it>: Sylpheed can encrypt and sign your messages (also decrypt
and verify the signatures of the incoming messages) using GnuPG.
GnuPG follows the OpenPGP standard and is compatible with PGP.
To enable this feature, you need to install GnuPG and GPGME (interface
library to GnuPG).
Enable this option with the <it>--enable-gpgme</it> configure switch.
</item>
<item>
<it>LDAP</it>: Sylpheed can connect to a LDAP server in order to
query mail addresses. To enable this feature you will need the
OpenLDAP library.
Enable this option with the <it>--enable-ldap</it> configure switch.
</item>
<item>
<it>X-Faces</it>: you can create a small picture (of your face, or
of anything else) that will be sent in the header of your mails.
This option is enabled if the compface library is found and
can be disabled using the <it>--disable-compface</it> configure switch.
</item>
<item>
Images can appear "inline" (embedded in the message window, without
the need of an external viewer) if Sylpheed is compiled
with either the <it>gdk-pixbuf</it> or the <it>imlib</it> library.
You can choose the library (if both are installed) by using the
<it>--disable-gdk-pixbuf</it> or <it>--disable-imlib</it> configure switch.
</item>
</itemize>
All these features require additional libraries and tools that may not be part
of your distribution. You can find them at the addresses listed at the beginning
of this chapter, <ref id="option_libraries" name="here">.
</sect2>
</sect1>
<sect1>Installation on Linux using RPM
<p>
As root, run the "rpm -ivh " command on the RPM file you downloaded. As soon as this process is complete you can run Sylpheed as user.
</sect1>
<sect1>Installation on Debian Linux
<p>
With an internet connection :
<p>
apt-get install sylpheed (to install it with a internet connection)
<p>
Without internet connection, fetch the debian package for example on
<url url="http://packages.debian.org/unstable/mail/sylpheed.html" name="http://packages.debian.org/unstable/mail/sylpheed.html">
<p>
dpkg -i sylpheedx.x.x-1i386.deb
<p>
dpkg --install sylpheedx.x.x-1i386.deb
</sect1>
<sect1>Installation on FreeBSD
<p>
using the /stand/sysinstall tool (it is a menu-based interface) :
<p>
run "/stand/sysinstall" as root
<p>
in the main menu choose "Configure" -> "Packages" -> "mail", then "sylpheed" then, back to the "Packages" list, choose "Install"
<p>
Using the ports
<p>
Get the sylpheed port on :
<p>
<url url="ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.3-release/mail" name="ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.3-release/mail">
<p>
then, as root: pkg-add sylpheed-0.x.x.tgz
<p>
using the ports with compiling:
<p>
first, update your port, fetch it on
<url url="http://www.freebsd.org/ports/mail.html" name ="http://www.freebsd.org/ports/mail.html">
<p>
cd /usr/ports/mail/sylpheed
<p>
make
<p>
If it succeeds, type "make install"
<p>
In case it fails, fetch the required package if necessary
(on the same page), put the package file in /usr/ports/distfiles/
then :
<itemize>
<item>cd /usr/ports/mail/sylpheed
<item>make
<item>make install
</itemize>
<p>
Need a more up-to-date version ?
<p>
Just use the Unix standard method (see "Nuts and bolts of installation")
