Re: [REQUEST] sylpheed

I just changed the PKGBUILD in abs a little bit. Works on my, x86, system. Haven't tested it on x86_64 though. Hopes it helps

Re: [REQUEST] sylpheed

you need all the files you'll find here (no idea if the patch will still apply):
http://repos.archlinux.org/viewvc.cgi/s … xtra-i686/

if you do not need the patch anymore, remove the patch line from the PKGBUILD and the patch name in the source array in the PKGBUILD.

Re: [REQUEST] sylpheed

hmmm I'm not using Sylpheed but tried to build 2.5.0 and everything went fine (with or without patch)... Is your system up to date ? BTW, could you cut & paste the error message a little bit earlier in the build process.
