4 Welcome to Notmuch, a system for indexing, searching and tagging your email.
6 We hope that the process of building and installing notmuch is quick
7 and smooth so that you can soon be reading and processing your email
8 more efficiently than ever.
10 If anything goes wrong in this process, please do as much as you can
11 to figure out what could be different on your machine compared to
12 those of the notmuch developers. Then, please email those details to
13 Carl Worth <cworth@cworth.org> so that we can hopefully make future
14 versions of notmuch easier for you to use.
16 We'll now investigate your system to find verify that various software
17 components that notmuch relies on are available.

68 need to install the following packages before being able to compile
72 if [ $have_xapian -eq 0 ]; then

86 On a modern, package-based operating system such as Debian, you can
87 install all of the dependencies with the following simple command
90 sudo apt-get install libxapian-dev libgmime-2.4-dev libtalloc-dev
92 On other systems, a similar command can be used, but the details of the
93 package names may be different, (such as "devel" in place of "dev").
96 if [ $have_pkg_config -eq 0 ]; then
98 Note: the pkg-config program is not available. Both this configure
99 script and the Makefile of notmuch use pkg-config to find the
100 compilation flags required to link against the various libraries
101 needed by notmuch. It's possible you simply need to install pkg-config
102 with a command such as:
104 sudo apt-get install pkg-config
106 But if pkg-config is not available for your system, then you will need
107 to manually edit the notmuch Makefile to set NOTMUCH_CFLAGS and
108 NOTMUCH_LDFLAGS to the correct values without calling pkg-config.
113 When you have installed the necessary dependencies, you can run
114 configure again to ensure the packages can be found, or simply run
115 "make" to compile notmuch.
123 All required packages were found. You may now run the following
124 commands to compile and install notmuch:
131 # construct the Makefile.config
132 cat > Makefile.config <<EOF
134 bash_completion_dir = /etc/bash_completion.d
135 CFLAGS += ${have_valgrind}
