claws-mail

[sheldonisaac]

musher0 has made Puppy-compatible versions of claws-mail 3.15.1.

Please see his post in the Puppy Projects area, at
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 403#973403

It works fine on this Dell E6410, under musher0's Xenial with 4.1 kernel.
I will try it on other hardware and Puppys, and think he wants people to test and report.

Tested in stretchpup 700a2 by radky: claws-mail requires the patched openssl 1.0.0 used in ubuntu.

Code: Select all

# claws-mail
claws-mail: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.0.0: version `OPENSSL_1.0.0' not found (required by /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libetpan.so.20)
claws-mail: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.0.0: version `OPENSSL_1.0.0' not found (required by /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libetpan.so.20)

Recompile needed in my opinion.

Thanks, Sheldon, for creating this thread.

@watchdog: I'm on it! Will double-check, Back in ten. BFN.

@watchdog:

You're right. I tried Claws-mail 3.15.1 on my DPupStretch-7 (built last
March, not radky's), and it's a no-go. I tried substituting the libetpan 17
library for the libetpan 20 and it doesn't work. Tough for this newest
version, then.

However, the sfs for Claws-mail 3.13.2 loads and runs fine on my
DPupStretch-7. (Please see attached pic.) If you don't need the latest
version, maybe try this one? It's the 2nd file from the bottom in this list:

Best I can do ATM, I'm a bit short of time today.

BFN.

Yes version 3.13.2 of claws-mail works in stretchpup 700a2 but it has not gpg support. Sylpheed from debian installed by PPM has gpg support. I do not use gpg but I prefer have it in hands.

Hi watchdog.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but DPupStretch-7 does not have the gpg or gpg2
executables. Open a console and type

Code: Select all

whereis gpg

or

Code: Select all

whereis gpg2

: there will be nothing.

According to the Claws-mail plugins page, those are required by the PGP plugins. It's not
so much Claws-mail that does not have PGP, it's the Puppy. (XenialPup-7 is in the
same situation.)

Even if Claws-mail-3.13.2 had its PGP plugins, it probably could not use them,
since the gpg or gpg2 execs are not in the Puppy.

I saw that the gpg/gpg2 executables are not in the Pups, and any user can double-
check too --, but I also think that confirmation is needed from someone with
experience of PGP / GPG on Claws-mail.

You can install gpg by PPM: gnupg2, gnupg-agent, libgpgme11, libksba, libpth, pinentry-gtk2 are needed. Then:

Code: Select all

ln -s /usr/bin/pinentry-gtk2 /usr/bin/pinentry

You can import your keys:

Code: Select all

gpg --import /path-to/keys/*

I always managed to install a sylpheed with gpg support.

If you know, why ask?
