- Both spamassassin and bogofilter wouldn't pass through
make
, which is an old issue, so I've disabled them. - My system half locked up during
make
, so I'm nice'ing it. It then only hung a short while on one part. - I initially thought that I could get SSL support with lib64openssl0.9.8-devel, but it would not install.. "no package provides.." I had to install lib64openssl0.9.8-static-devel. But I learned that I needed to install lib64gnutls-devel.
-
I didn't see ssl being shown in the list of configured options, so I'm trying --enable-openssl.
su ./configure --disable-spamassassin-plugin --disable-bogofilter-plugin --enable-openssl nice -n 19 make make install
At this point I had a bit of an adventure.. I think I figured out out so I'll omit it. I did end up seeing some errors.
make
gave:

... but running claws-mail
seems to work, including SSL.
With earlier playing I had the trayicon plugin working (but no SSL), but now that I have SSL working, trayicon doesn't feel like working. I don't care to troubleshoot right now:
** (claws-mail:8965): WARNING **: plugin loading error: /usr/lib/claws-mail/plugins/trayicon.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
So far so good, I have no issues to report with the program.
I am, however, extremely annoyed that there seems to be no other email client which uses Claws Mail's mail format (MH, I think). This meant that I had no other recourse but to get Claws Mail compiled.. I couldn't just switch to some other (inferior) email client in the meantime. This is extremely worrying.. I don't like being "locked in" to one particular program like this. Thankfully there are readily-available conversion programs for other email clients like Mozilla Thunderbird and its import feature.
