Balsa E-Mail Client 2.0.x
Copyright (C) 1997-2002 Stuart Parmenter and others, see AUTHORS file.
See 'COPYING' for license information. Please note linking against
OpenSSL libraries is explicitely allowed.
See 'AUTHORS' for a list of contributors.
Please make sure you have the following things:
Glib >= 2.6.0
GTK >= 2.6.0
gnome-libs >= 2.0.0 (see notes below)
gnome-print >= 0.25
libpspell >= 0.11.2 (and at least one spell check module)
alternatively libapsell >= 0.50
libesmtp >= 0.8.11 http://www.stafford.uklinux.net/libesmtp/
If you do not have these, please check:
http://balsa.gnome.org/download.html
for links to these packages. Or try http://www.gnome.org,
http://www.gtk.org, and http://www.enlightenment.org.
Note that some of these modules have their own requirements.
Installation of pspell is known to be troublesome, make sure
you have read - and understood - all the details. Feedback
should to to pspell team, not balsa team.
It is highly recommended to install and use the Perl Compatible
Regular Expression library (PCRE), version 3.0 or higher.
Further information about this library is available from
http://www.pcre.org/
Some pre-built PCRE rpm's can be found at
http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=pcre
You need also gnome-doc-tools for building the help system.
They are available from
http://people.redhat.com/dcm/software.html
Since version 2.0.10 balsa has EXPERIMENTAL support for gpg
signed and encrypted MIME messages according to RFC 3156.
Further information is available at
http://www.mynetcologne.de/~nc-dreszal/balsa/balsa23-secure-mail.html
Build Instructions:
For more information and configuration options see 'README'.
You need libtool, pspell-devel (obligatory) and
gnome-print-devel (recommended) packages installed.
Balsa works also very nicely with gtkhtml >= 0.8 and openldap.
# ./configure
# make
Installation:
Do the above then
# make install
Notes:
Balsa does not play nice with older versions of egcs, if you
are using an earlier version than 2.95 of this compiler and
have troubles with segfaults, try compiling with optimizations
turned off or upgrading.
Some versions of libgnome is known to have bugs that lead to
balsa crash on startup. Read
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/balsa-list/2000-October/msg00101.html
and make sure you have at least /usr/lib/libgnome.so.32.3.11.
Experimental gcc 2.96 distributed with RedHat 7.0 generates
spurious warning messages. You have to update your compiler
(strongly recommended!) or configure balsa with explicitely
specified --disable-more-warnings option.
