Possible? I can't get 0.9.7 to display in AA though the rest of my XFCE4 desktop looks great. Any ideas?

sykpheed is GTK1 looks terrible :/ however I know there is a GTK2 version on sourceforge or freshm. you can try it and see if you like it.

my previous experience with is wasnt very good, so I use sylpheed-claws too... the GTK1.
looks bad but get the job done I supose.

Sylpheed being GTK1 is one of the major reasons why I switched to Evolution. That and I like Evo's RSS/RDF reader in the summary page.

I wrote a slypheed-gtk2 ebuild about 4 months ago. The guys from breakmygentoo took it and improve it and had it on their site, however with the move to their new site, I have yet to find it again. My version was a hack at best and is now hopelessly outdated, albeit I am still using this version of slypheed-gtk2.

The guy who wrote this,Takuro Ashie has set up a sorceforge site:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/sylpheed-gtk2/


Unfotunately my ebuild skills are not up to snuff- I cannot write ebuilds which include patches, for I haven't grokked the epatch stuff.

But here is the gist:
download
sylpheed-0.9.5-gtk2-20030906.diff.gz
and
sylpheed-0.9.5-gtk2-20030906.tar.gz


make a new directory somewhere and copy both of these files in the new directory.

then
tar -xvzpf sylpheed*

(which should if I remember the syntax correctly unpack both of these files)

then move into the newly created sylpheed directory and do the following:

patch -p1 < /directory/name/where/diff-file/is/unpacked/sylpheed-x.y.z-gtk220030906-diff

NOW read the the README file and find out which packages muzst be installed prior to compiling this sucker-emerge is your friend. Once you have met the requirements proceed as follows:


./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-ssl --enable-ldap --enable-gpgme --enable-ipv6

(this syntax may have changed-use ./configure --help to see which options are available, and use only those which you need.)


make
make install (as root)


******************************

man as if I had nothing better to do.....
here is an ebuild....save it as:
/usr/local/portage/net-mail/sylpheed/sylpheed-0.9.5.ebuild

        cd ${S}
}
src_compile() {
 
local myconf=""
        use ssl \
                && myconf="${myconf} --enable-ssl" \

./autogen.sh && ./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib --enable-compface ${myconf} || die "Configuration failed"
 
}
 
src_install() {
    einstall install || die "Install failed"
    dodocs ABOUT-NLS AUTHORS INSTALL  COPYING NEWS TOODO README
}




Now make the directory :
Code:

mkdir /usr/local/portage/net-mail/sylpheed/

/usr/local/portage/net-mail/sylpheed/
and copy this ebuild into it:
Code:

cp sylpheed-0.9.5.ebuild  /usr/local/portage/net-mail/sylpheed/


now do the following:
Code:

ebuild /usr/local/portage/net-mail/sylpheed/sylpheed-0.9.5.ebuild digest


and then :
Code:

emerge /usr/local/portage/net-mail/sylpheed/sylpheed-0.9.5.ebuild


if you have a pilot with which to sync you can use :
Code:

USE="jpilot" emerge /usr/local/portage/net-mail/sylpheed/sylpheed-0.9.5.ebuild

There is a sylpheed-gtk2 ebuild in portage (sylpheed-0.9.5-r1), it is masked and you have to set USE="gtk2".

But sylpheed-icons look ugly. Sylpheed-Claws is the only way to go. Also there is a sylpheed-claws-0.9.5-r1 ebuild, that use gtk2, but it crashes.

Thanks all for the help. It's what I thought but couldn't confirm. Just have to live with a little ugly until the GTK2 conversion is complete. Now if someone could do the same for emelfm...
