[Request] Anjal

haTem · 2009-08-29 09:13:36

Anjal is an email client designed for netbooks, although it looks like it could be nice even if you don't use a netbook. It's the only email client I have seen that implements gmail-style (conversation) threading, which is slightly different than the "normal" threading that exists in most clients. Instead of showing a tree of all the replies in each thread, there is only one listing for each thread with an indicator showing the number of replies it has. When you view a thread you see all the replies at once organized like an instant messaging conversation.

Screenshots/Features: http://blogs.gnome.org/sragavan/2009/05 … n-updates/

The problem is that it needs a patched evolution, evolution-data-server, and webkit to compile. I tried patching evolution myself but I couldn't get the patch to apply cleanly to the current evolution in abs.

All the patches are in the anjal git repo @ git://git.gnome.org/anjal
See http://live.gnome.org/Anjal/Installation for additional information.

Many thanks if you decide to help out!

Hi!!! I second this request. I'm a netbook user and i love Arch. I've tested Anjal working on Moblin and its really great, easy to use, simple and fast...

requires evolution 2.27.5. here is a draft to use those who are using gnome-unstable repo. i can't continue from this point as gnome-unstable doesn't have x86_64 packages. maybe later i will set up a chroot

    else
        git clone ${_gitroot}
    fi  
    msg "GIT checkout done or server timeout"
    msg "Starting make..."

    rm -rf "$srcdir/$_gitname-build"

Alex_anthony created a package for it in his moblin-git repo
git clone git://gitorious.org/moblin-and-gnome-devel-packaging/moblin-git.git
there is an anjal PKGBUILD. I can't get it to build at the moment, it exits with this error:

seems that the version of webkit is too old.

Aha! I didn't know there was a gnome-unstable repo, that simplifies things a bit. Unfortunately, I'm having trouble compiling the rest of the dependencies. First, nbtk fails with this error:

LINK nbtk-create-image-cache

Could this be because I'm using clutter from the arch repos and not clutter-git? I can't get clutter-git to compile either :-/. Does anyone have a repo or the i686 binaries up somewhere for these packages?

Same problem here... thanks for trying!!!

It needs to be patched, I'm working on getting the patch to apply but it's not working at the moment.

Try using --disable-introspection on the ./autogen.sh or ./configure in the PKGBUILD

----
EDIT:
Here's a working pkgbuild and patch for webkit. I used webkit-newest, so I recommend that's what you try.

mkdir libwebkit-newest
cd libwebkit-newest
yaourt -G libwebkit-newest
(edit pkgbuild and put webkit.patch in the same directory as the pkgbuild)
makepkg -sif

That worked. Had to do that for both clutter-git and nbtk-git.

Your PKGBUILD and webkit.patch also worked nicely, but the md5sum for the patch was wrong (maybe the forum altered the whitespace a bit?).

I now have anjal working, thanks!

Awesome. Have fun!

Wow!!! You made it!!!

Thanks to all of you... Arch community rules!!!

Any chance to make an script to make the install more easy for me and all the newbies like me??? (or I should say... lazy like me??)

alex_anthony · 2009-09-16 18:33:25

now you can try

yaourt -S anjal-git

if you have the new evolution and yaourt installed. For i686, new evolution is in [gnome-unstable]
