%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: cd docs/tutorial && docbook2html --nochunks gmime-tut.sgml && docbook2pdf gmime-tut.sgml && docbook2ps gmime-tut.sgml && docbook2txt gmime-tut.sgml && cd ../.. 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 docs{,/tutorial}/gmime* \ /usr/share/doc/gmime-&gmime-version; Installed Programs Installed Libraries Installed Directories gmime-config, uudecode and uuencode libgmime-2.0.{so,a} and optionally, Mono bindings /usr/include/gmime-2.0, /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 gmime-config is used to gather information about how and where GMime was installed. It is typically used by other programs seeking to link to the GMime library. gmime-config 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-2.0.{so,a} contains API functions used by programs that need to adhere to the MIME standards. libgmime-2.0.{so,a}
