%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ GMime The GMime package contains a set of utilities for parsing and creating messages using the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (MIME) as defined by the applicable RFCs. See the GMime web site for the RFCs resourced. This is useful as it provides an API which adheres to the MIME specification as closely as possible while also providing programmers with an extremely easy to use interface to the API functions. Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &gmime-md5sum; Download size: &gmime-size; Estimated disk space required: &gmime-buildsize; Estimated build time: &gmime-time; GMime Dependencies Required Optional , , and Gtk# (requires Mono) User Notes: Install GMime by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr && make If you have installed and you wish to generate the API tutorials, issue the following commands: pushd docs/tutorial && docbook2html --nochunks gmime-tut.sgml && docbook2pdf gmime-tut.sgml && docbook2ps gmime-tut.sgml && docbook2txt gmime-tut.sgml && popd To test the results, issue: make check. Note that some tests may fail because the corresponding sub-system is not installed or configured properly. This package will overwrite the uudecode and uuencode programs installed by the sharutils package (or any other package that may install these programs) if they exist in /usr/bin. If you wish to preserve the existing programs, ensure you rename them before issuing the following commands. Now, as the root user: make install && install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/gmime-&gmime-version; && install -v -m644 README \ /usr/share/doc/gmime-&gmime-version; If you generated the API tutorials, still as the root user: install -v -m644 docs/tutorial/gmime* \ /usr/share/doc/gmime-&gmime-version; Installed Programs Installed Libraries Installed Directories uudecode and uuencode libgmime-2.4.{so,a} and optionally, Mono bindings /usr/include/gmime-2.4, /usr/lib/mono/gac/gmime-sharp, /usr/lib/mono/gmime-sharp, /usr/share/doc/gmime-&gmime-version; and /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gmime Short Descriptions uudecode is used to decode files or data encoded with uuencode. uudecode uuencode is a method of encoding binary data into 7-bit ASCII data. uuencode libgmime-2.4.{so,a} contains API functions used by programs that need to adhere to the MIME standards. libgmime-2.4.{so,a}
