GPG support for sylpheed

I downloaded GnuPG from a link I found on another thread. Now I want to enable GPG support for Sylpheed.

According to Sylpheed website http://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/doc/faq/en/sy ... tml#d0e886, one would need to run:

Code: Select all

./configure --enable-gpgme
to enable GPG support from Sylpheed source.

I can download Sylpheed from PET repository, but it doesn't have GPG support. Is there any way I can enable support after downloading from the repository? Can I re-configure Sylpheed? If so, how? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

you would need to compile it from source... out of curiosity how big is the gpg pet?

I tried compiling from source last night, but when I did, Puppy complained about not finding a compiler (C++, I think).. If such a compiler is available from the repository, then I must have overlooked it.

Anyway, the GnuPG PET package is 662KB more or less (Thanks, ttuuxxx) Here's the link:

As a side note, I wanted to use Enigmail with Thunderbird but T'bird kept crashing on me. So I decided to give Sylpheed a go.

click on the pet packaging link in my signature for info on compiling in Puppy (all compiler tools come on a devx sfs specific to that version)

Thanks. I'll try compiling a PET package for GPG-enabled Sylpheed over the weekend and follow up with feedback as soon as possible.
