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> )
