You could try the following on a hard drive install of DSL:
After setting up apt, do | Code Sample | | apt-get install gcc g++ make |
Download latest source code of Sylpheed ( probably a * tar.gz file)
| Code Sample | | tar xzvf sylpheed (hit tab to complete file name) |
then change directory to the new one created (sylpheed without the tar.gz suffix - again tab completion helps)
Then compile, which is probably the usual | Code Sample | | ./configure && make && make install (as root at least for the last step) [ |
It pays to read the README files and others that might be in the source tarball but this should be close. You might also, before trying this, want to do | Code Sample | | apt-get install checkinstall |
checkinstall makes it possible to compile and build your own deb package which is then easier to uninstall and gets added to the apt /dpkg database after you install your newly created deb ( dpkg -i <packagename> )
