GPG support for sylpheed

#1 Post by ncsu1983 »

I downloaded GnuPG from a link I found on another thread. Now I want to enable GPG support for Sylpheed.

According to Sylpheed website http://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/doc/faq/en/sy ... tml#d0e886, one would need to run:

Code: Select all

./configure --enable-gpgme
to enable GPG support from Sylpheed source.

I can download Sylpheed from PET repository, but it doesn't have GPG support. Is there any way I can enable support after downloading from the repository? Can I re-configure Sylpheed? If so, how? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

you would need to compile it from source... out of curiosity how big is the gpg pet?
Check out my [url=https://github.com/technosaurus]github repositories[/url]. I may eventually get around to updating my [url=http://bashismal.blogspot.com]blogspot[/url].

I tried compiling from source last night, but when I did, Puppy complained about not finding a compiler (C++, I think).. If such a compiler is available from the repository, then I must have overlooked it.

Anyway, the GnuPG PET package is 662KB more or less (Thanks, ttuuxxx) Here's the link:

As a side note, I wanted to use Enigmail with Thunderbird but T'bird kept crashing on me. So I decided to give Sylpheed a go.

click on the pet packaging link in my signature for info on compiling in Puppy (all compiler tools come on a devx sfs specific to that version)

Thanks. I'll try compiling a PET package for GPG-enabled Sylpheed over the weekend and follow up with feedback as soon as possible.
