Sylpheed-Claws compiled with GTK2 14

GTK2 Sylpheed-Claws
At least it seems to be on a way to stability: Sylpheed-Claws, fetched from cvs is avaliable and stable working with GTK2. This is a big step because now I can kick the GTK1-library, which bloats my system.

How to get it?
export CVSROOT=":pserver:anonymous@cvs.sylpheed-claws.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/sylpheed-claws" cvs login cvs co -r gtk2 sylpheed-claws cd sylpheed-claws export WANT_AUTOMAKE="1.8" ./autogen.sh –enable-openssl –enable-gpgme –enable-spamassassin-plugin –enable-compface make make install
After that you can enjoy your GTK2-sylpheed-claws! Have fun.

Update:
There seems to be a lot of problems with the cvs, so I offered a well working snapshot

    Thanks for this tip, because for me too -claws is the only thing still depending on GTK1.

    Doing the CVS co right now, hope everything will work fine.

    Hey guy, you have an error in your HTML. The Link to your snapshot is included in "double quotes" which means that href is empty. ;-)

    To access the CVS server, use this instead: cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/sylpheed-claws co -r gtk2 sylpheed-claws

    Just compiled it, but it seems a bit buggy. When an email has an attachment, I can’t see the message body… Strange.

    It works for me fine except that clicking on an address book entry freezes the whole of gnome completely with respect to mouse control. Suspect is something to do with the context menu that should come with a right click. Works on an empty address book, but not on a full one

    If I grab the cvs and run ./autogen.sh I get the following error….

    configure.ac: 63: `automake requires `AM_CONFIG_HEADER’, not `AC_CONFIG_HEADER’

    Any ideas what will make this go away?

    I have the 0.9.9 snapshot working great with GTK2 but would love the new 0.9.11 features

    Maybe you have to try another automake-version. I don’t know how it is with other distros but in gentoo you can set the envvar WANT_AUTOCONF=version.

    Thanks for the valuable assistance

    OK, so I updated automake and autoconf to latest

    Now that error has gone but I get..

    src/common/Makefile.am:1: Libtool library used but `LIBTOOL’ is undefined
    src/common/Makefile.am:1:
    src/common/Makefile.am:1: The usual way to define `LIBTOOL’ is to add `AC_PROG_LIBTOOL’
    src/common/Makefile.am:1: to `configure.ac’ and run `aclocal’ and `autoconf’ again.

    aaaargh!

    OK, so I made that go away by copying libtool.m4 into the m4 directory (in fact I copied *.m4 from /usr/share/aclocal into m4/) which I assume was the correct thing to do because…

    Now it gets much further… still complains about a bunch underquoted definitions but gets all the way to through to generating the Makefile this time…..

    hopefully this is now going to make sylpheed 0.9.10claws67.10

    It does :-)

    0.9.10claws67.10 gtk2

    now, just need 0.9.11 to get the latest features like the inbox updating as each mail arrives instead of after the complete POP retrieval (i have always wondered why claws behaved this way – it is really annoying on dial-up to have to wait)

    Thanks a lot for your page and your help
