Can you give some insight on the implications of that tray-icon thing? The maintainer (Cc-ed) might want to know if it's useful outside OSX, for example. libtool fails to link trayicon.o and exits with a bunch of undefined symbols. This is for versions 3.7.5 and 3.7.8. I'm assuming .6 and .7 as well but I don't know from experience. Instead of trying to fix the linking issue I just disabled it. My ebuild-fu is stronger than my C-fu ;) Sorry, were you asking what the tray-icon does? I don't think I've actually used the tray-icon plugin on my other machines so I can't tell you from experience. Here's the page for it: http://www.claws-mail.org/plugin.php?plugin=trayicon ok, from that I get the impression it just won't work on any other window manager than the one it needs (GTK/Gnome?) I would be fine with the trayicon USE flag, but in general think it is not needed. Prefix team, please do any additions in the main tree you need to do. Might trayicon be better suited as a plugin in a separate ebuild ala mail-client/claws-mail-archive, mail-client/claws-mail-cachesaver, etc etc.. ? I think we should disable the trayicon just when it makes no sense, without USE-flag. (In reply to comment #7) > I think we should disable the trayicon just when it makes no sense, without > USE-flag. Do that. @Grobian: did we ever merge this? no (In reply to comment #7) > I think we should disable the trayicon just when it makes no sense, without > USE-flag. Under which conditions should it be disabled then? In prefix in general or switch it with a gnome use flag? It depends on the environment, indeed. OSX doesn't have a "tray". Windows and GNOME do. I believe KDE has one as well. I'm actually not sure what the configure thing does. Perhaps it's smart enough itself, but since it was disabled by OP, I'm affraid not.

I'm sorry, but I'm going to close this bug, because a lot of time went by and I think it needs a re-evaluation. Thanks for the patch and work though. |
