Claws Mail missing libetpan

Claws Mail missing libetpan

[Marco van Hulten]

Hello—

I get an error compiling Claws Mail (claws-mail):

checking for libetpan-config... no
*** Claws Mail requires libetpan 0.57 or newer. See http://www.etpan.org/ 
*** You can use --disable-libetpan if you don't need IMAP4 and/or NNTP support.
configure: error: libetpan 0.57 not found

First installing libetpan (the Guix package) does not help.

There's no reason it should help: builds are completely isolated from the host environment. There is nothing you can do to influence them.

I'm sorry I can't help though, because I have a charger issue for my laptop. I don't remember having an issue with claws-mail recently, so maybe try to run guix pull if you're not already on the latest version.

Otherwise, what is the version of libetpan in guix and does it contain a libetpan-config?

I recently upgraded libetpan from 1.9.3 to 1.9.4, and with it we lost
the libetpan-config binary. There's an open bug¹ with libetpan upstream
to mention the now missing binary. There's also an upstream patch² but
I'm having a hard time getting it to work.

But that means builds may be reproducible!

On a different Guix (System) system I already had Claws Mail 3.17.4
running.  After 'guix pull' it grabbed libetpan-1.9.4 and wanted to
compile Claws Mail anew.  Indeed, same compilation error.
