Installation
============

This program requires GTK+ 1.2.6 or higher to be compiled.

This program is developed on Debian GNU/Linux (woody)
(Linux 2.2.x + glibc 2.2), so it is possible not to work correctly
on the other environment.

For installation, just type:

% ./configure
% make
% su
Password: [Enter password]
# make install

I recommend you to install gdk-pixbuf or gdk_imlib library before installing
for built-in image view support, and libcompface for X-Face support.


If you want to enable multithread support, append the option
--enable-threads after ./configure.

Notice: Multithread support is still in an experimental stage, and it
        doesn't work correctly.

If you want to enable IPv6 support, append the option
--enable-ipv6 after ./configure.

If you want to enable GnuPG support, you need GPGME 0.1.4 or later, and
GnuPG 1.0.4d or later. You can get them from the below location:

  ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/pub/gcrypt/alpha/gpgme/
  ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/pub/gcrypt/devel/gnupg-1.0.4d.tar.gz

and append the option --enable-gpgme after ./configure.

Warning: the GnuPG support is still in the development stage, and it
         may not work correctly. I suggest never to use a real key.
         Please use sample keys.


If the installation of Sylpheed failed, check all needed libraries are
correctly installed. If it still failed, please send bug report to:
