How to build modest on Fedora Core 9?

[Jianchun Zhou]

Hi, everybody:

I am new to modest, and now I want to build modest on my fc9 desktop,I have
checked out the source code as this:

svn checkout https://garage.maemo.org/svn/modest/modest/trunk modest

But, when I try to build the source code(./autogen.sh --with-platform=maemo
&& make && make install), these messages appeared:

.......
src/Makefile.am:185: compiling `modest-main.c' with per-target flags
requires `AM_PROG_CC_C_O' in `configure.ac'
src/Makefile.am:6: required directory src/hildon2 does not exist
configure.ac:553: required file `src/hildon2/Makefile.in' not found
configure.ac:553: required file `src/hildon2/modest.desktop.in' not found
configure.ac:553: required file `src/hildon2/com.nokia.modest.service.in'
not found
....

It's been wasting so much time, really drive me mad, awful!

Any idea what should I do? Thank you in advance.



Yours Sincerely

Hi Jianchun,

thing is that this repository is not up to date and it contains some
files that should not be there. I have to say that we're really sorry
about this and we'll try to fix this as soon as possible. Keep in touch
because I'll come with more news soon.

BTW you know that you're building the maemo version and that you'll need
all the hildon and maemo stuff ?

If you want to try the GNOME version you have to use --with-platform=gnome

And in the mean time, while we fix the SVN problem you can try with the
previous version that still builds.

Just do a "svn update -r1102" to get the previous version and retry to build

Hi, Sergio:

I really appreciate your help, thank you very much!

That problem have been solved.

But, I'm so sorry for disturbing you again,I met another problem.

This time I have reversed Modest to version 1102,and then I get a compiling
error:
modest-mail-operation.c:1655: error: too few arguments to function
'tny_folder_store_get_folders_async'

And I guess it's because version of tinymail is not the right one
corresponding to this version of Modest.
So I also reversed tinymail to version 1102,but the result is not
better,error occurred:

May you tell me what's the right thing next to do?
Thank you!

I have fixed this problem by reverting tinymail to version 3758, anyway,
thank you again !

As a Chinese old saying says: one words from an experienced person values
tens years learning of a greenhorn.Ha!

Right, the API of tinymail changed at the end of last year. That
revision of Modest builds against the old API.
