If you want to try the bleeding edge developments, use the 'gtk3' (2.5.x) git branch. Please note that the development for the 2.4 branch has more or less stopped.I tried to install balsa from git, but as I never used git before, I'm sure there is some stupid mistake that prevents me from getting balsa compiled. I've been following the instructions on <https://pawsa.fedorapeople.org/balsa/git-help.html>, but perhaps that page is a bit dated, too? Perhaps you or somebody else on the list could review what I did and point out what I've made wrong?
1) I cloned the balsa tree from git to a local directory: *** pc@lektoratex:~/System/git$ git clone http://git.gnome.org/browse/balsa Cloning into 'balsa'... remote: Counting objects: 57759, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (12400/12400), done. remote: Total 57759 (delta 46909), reused 55876 (delta 45259) Receiving objects: 100% (57759/57759), 28.55 MiB | 3.70 MiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (46909/46909), done. Checking connectivity... done. *** 2) Then, after changing to that directory, I set the options I need: ***pc@lektoratex:~/System/git/balsa$ ./autogen.sh --with-gpgme=/usr/bin/gpgme-config --with-gpg-app=/usr/bin/gpg2 --with-html-widget=webkit --with-nm=no --with-gtkspell --with-rubrica=yes --with-libnotify --with-canberra 2>&1 | tee configure.log
***Pretty early during processing, I get a message "Please add the files codeset.m4 gettext.m4 glibc21.m4 iconv.m4 isc-posix.m4 lcmessage.m4 progtest.m4 from the /usr/share/aclocal directory to your autoconf macro directory or directly to your aclocal.m4 file". Which directory is the "autoconf macro directory"? I also browsed aclocal.m4, but i really don't see where to add these files there. Otherwise, configuring seems to work, there is no error (see attached file configure.log).pc@lektoratex:~/System/git/balsa$ make 2>&1 | tee make.log
3) Finally, I try to compile everything: *** pc@lektoratex:~/System/git/balsa$ make 2>&1 | tee make.log ***This dies with errors after a while, notably in imap-server.c (see attached file make.log). I actually don't want IMAP-support, as I only use POP3 accounts. However, I have not found a configure option to disable it. Is that even possible?
I'm really quite desperate now, because balsa from Debian is really old and has this nasty 2+GB limit on mailboxes, while I seem not to be capable of building it myself. Any hint what I should do is really appreciated!
Best regards and many thanks Andreas
