2.1 How To ObtainThe latest version of KNewMail can be obtained from:2.2 Requirements
http://www.slac.com/mpilone/knewmail_home/
KNewMail may also be mirrored at www.kde.org.Here is a list of what you will need to get up and running:2.3 Compilation and Installation
- Current tar
- QT 1.4x installed
- KDE 1.x
There are some optional things you might also want to get from the downloads page:
- kplayaudio - to play sounds when new mail arrives (this is now configurable to any sound app)
- sounds - Some simple wavs to play when mail arrives, I have a selection over here.
- klogin - knewmail can launch a mail app when mail arrives, I use klogin, but any app in your path should work ok.
Basic Installation
==================These are generic installation instructions.
The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for
various system-dependent variables used during compilation. It uses
those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package.
It may also create one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent
definitions. Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that
you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, a file
`config.cache' that saves the results of its tests to speed up
reconfiguring, and a file `config.log' containing compiler output
(useful mainly for debugging `configure').If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try
to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and mail
diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README' so they can
be considered for the next release. If at some point `config.cache'
contains results you don't want to keep, you may remove or edit it.The file `configure.in' is used to create `configure' by a program
called `autoconf'. You only need `configure.in' if you want to change
it or regenerate `configure' using a newer version of `autoconf'.The simplest way to compile this package is:
1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
`./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're
using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type
`sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute
`configure' itself.Running `configure' takes a while. While running, it prints some
messages telling which features it is checking for.2. Type `make' to compile the package.
3. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and
documentation.4. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the
source code directory by typing `make clean'.More information and options can be found in the file INSTALL which should be in the base directory of your distribution.
