Re: how to print (was: extracting sender's name for use in a script?)
oh dear. maybe i should not have used the word "compile", but
there is a small C-component to this program, for when you
give the command "make", here's what you see:
=========================================================
make -C langinfo
make[1]: Entering directory
`/home/drip/src/mutt/muttprint-0.72d/langinfo'
cc -c -o main.o main.c
cc -c -o muttprint-langinfo.o muttprint-langinfo.c
cc -o muttprint-langinfo muttprint-langinfo.o main.o
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/home/drip/src/mutt/muttprint-0.72d/langinfo'
=========================================================
that looks ok, but "make install" (as root) bombs with this
message:
=========================================================
...
install: cannot stat `manual-de/*.css': No such file or
directory
make[2]: *** [install] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory
`/home/drip/src/mutt/muttprint-0.72d/doc/manual/de'
make[1]: *** [install] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/home/drip/src/mutt/muttprint-0.72d/doc/manual'
make: *** [install] Error 2
=========================================================
I played around trying out different things, but eventually
concluded that it would not work for me. Maybe it works
better in German?

|
| 1. Installation
| ------------
|
| To install Muttprint on your system, adjust the locations in the
| Makefile.
|
| The default settings should be OK. (Installation to /usr/local)
|
| Run "make" to build the small C program ("muttprint-langinfo"). You
| need this only if your Perl version is less than 5.8.x. If you have
| no C compiler and you run Linux then you can skip this step, too.
|
| Now run "make install" to install the files on your system. Please
| recognize that you must run this as 'root' if you would like to
| install Muttprint global on your system.
|
| If you don't want to change the Makefile, you should run "make
| prefix=/new/path docdir=/path/for/documentation install" as done by
| creation of RPM packages. Set /new/path and /path/for/documentation
| to your preferred directory.
