188<H3><A NAME="compile_sylpheed"></A> Compiling Sylpheed with options</H3>
189
190<P>You can choose to compile Sylpheed with some optional features enabled.
191Use <I>./configure --help</I> to list configuration syntax and options.
192<P>The following optional features can be enabled:
193<P>
194<UL>
195<LI><I>Jpilot</I>: to use you PDA addressbook with Sylpheed. You will
196need the <I>Jpilot</I> library (and <I>pilot-link</I>, too).
197Enable this option with the <I>--enable-jpilot</I> configure switch.</LI>
198<LI><I>GnuPG</I>: Sylpheed can encrypt and sign your messages (also decrypt
199and verify the signatures of the incoming messages) using GnuPG.
200GnuPG follows the OpenPGP standard and is compatible with PGP.
201To enable this feature, you need to install GnuPG and GPGME (interface
202library to GnuPG).
203Enable this option with the <I>--enable-gpgme</I> configure switch.</LI>
204<LI><I>LDAP</I>: Sylpheed can connect to a LDAP server in order to
205query mail addresses. To enable this feature you will need the
206OpenLDAP library.
207Enable this option with the <I>--enable-ldap</I> configure switch.</LI>
208<LI><I>X-Faces</I>: you can create a small picture (of your face, or
209of anything else) that will be sent in the header of your mails.
210This option is enabled if the compface library is found and
211can be disabled using the <I>--disable-compface</I> configure switch.</LI>
212<LI>Images can appear "inline" (embedded in the message window, without
213the need of an external viewer) if Sylpheed is compiled
214with either the <I>gdk-pixbuf</I> or the <I>imlib</I> library.
215You can choose the library (if both are installed) by using the
216<I>--disable-gdk-pixbuf</I> or <I>--disable-imlib</I> configure switch.</LI>
217</UL>
218<P>All these features require additional libraries and tools that may not be part
219of your distribution. You can find them at the addresses listed at the beginning
220of this chapter,
221<A HREF="#option_libraries">here</A>.
222<P>
223<H2><A NAME="ss4.4">4.4 Installation on Linux using RPM</A>
224</H2>
225
226<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.
227<H2><A NAME="ss4.5">4.5 Installation on Debian Linux</A>
228</H2>
229
230<P>With an internet connection :
231<P>apt-get install sylpheed (to install it with a internet connection)
232<P>Without internet connection, fetch the debian package for example on
233<A HREF="http://packages.debian.org/unstable/mail/sylpheed.html">http://packages.debian.org/unstable/mail/sylpheed.html</A><P>dpkg -i sylpheedx.x.x-1i386.deb

236</H2>
237
238<P>using the /stand/sysinstall tool (it is a menu-based interface) :
239<P>run "/stand/sysinstall" as root
240<P>in the main menu choose "Configure" -> "Packages" -> "mail", then "sylpheed" then, back to the "Packages" list, choose "Install"
241<P>Using the ports
242<P>Get the sylpheed port on :
243<P>
244<A HREF="ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.3-release/mail">ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.3-release/mail</A><P>then, as root: pkg-add sylpheed-0.x.x.tgz
245<P>using the ports with compiling:
246<P>first, update your port, fetch it on
247<A HREF="http://www.freebsd.org/ports/mail.html">http://www.freebsd.org/ports/mail.html</A><P>cd /usr/ports/mail/sylpheed
248<P>make
249<P>If it succeeds, type "make install"
250<P>In case it fails, fetch the required package if necessary
251(on the same page), put the package file in /usr/ports/distfiles/
252then :
253<UL>
254<LI>cd /usr/ports/mail/sylpheed</LI>
255<LI>make</LI>
256<LI>make install</LI>
257</UL>
258<P>Need a more up-to-date version ?
