DeforaOS Mailer

About Mailer

Mailer is a mail client application for the DeforaOS desktop.

Mailer is part of the DeforaOS Project, and distributed under the terms of the BSD License (2-clause).

Compiling Mailer

Mailer depends on the following components:

  • Gtk+ 2 or 3
  • OpenSSL
  • DeforaOS libDesktop
  • DocBook-XSL (for the manual pages)
  • GTK-Doc (for the API documentation)

With GCC, this should then be enough to compile and install Mailer:

$ make install

To install (or package) Mailer in a different location:

$ make PREFIX="/another/prefix" install

Mailer also supports DESTDIR, to be installed in a staging directory; for instance:

$ make DESTDIR="/staging/directory" PREFIX="/another/prefix" install

Documentation

Manual pages for each of the executables installed are available in the doc folder. They are written in the DocBook-XML format, and need libxslt and DocBook-XSL to be installed for conversion to the HTML or man file format.

Likewise, the API reference for libMailer (accounts and plug-ins) is available in the doc/gtkdoc folder, and is generated using gtk-doc.
