Build Claws Mail from Git repo ============================== This Makefile does what the above title says. So far is targeted to Debian-based systems and AFAIK only tested on Debian itself. Anyway it should work on any similar system (except the bootstrapping part). Before you start ---------------- You need the Makefile on your system, so first step is to install git and clone the repository. Assuming you're in the directory where you want to build it: $ sudo apt-get install git $ git clone https://github.com/mones/bcmg.git $ ln -s bcmp/Makefile To use the Makefile you need "make" to be installed on your System: $ sudo apt-get install make After make is installed you need to install the libraries required to build Claws Mail: $ sudo make bootstrap-debian Patches to add bootstrap-$yoursystem targets are welcome. Default directory for installation is '/opt/claws'. You can change this by editing the value of PREFIX variable in Makefile or passing PREFIX=/some/dir to the make command. Be sure the user invoking make has the right permissions to write on /opt/claws directory (or the one you had set), for example: $ sudo mkdir /opt/claws $ sudo chown user:user /opt/claws Building Claws Mail ------------------- After completing the previous section this is now very easy: $ make That's all. Some log files will be created, so you can check later. Launching Claws Mail -------------------- Binary will be on /opt/claws/bin/claws-mail. You may want to add /opt/claws/bin to your path if you want to use it regularly: $ echo '$PATH=/opt/claws/bin:$PATH' >> $HOME/.bashrc $ source $HOME/.bashrc Or alternatively make a link on some of the directories already on your path. User's home bin is very suitable for this: $ test -d $HOME/bin || mkdir $HOME/bin $ cd $HOME/bin $ ln -s /opt/claws/bin/claws-mail
