               ==================================================

These are the necessary steps to compile either sylpheed or sylpheed-claws
using MS VisualC++ in a Win32 environment.
Please note, that these ports are in a very early development state:
!      MANY FEATURES ARE UNAVAILABE, MAY CRASH OR EVEN DESTROY YOUR DATA      !
!   DONT USE THESE PROGRAMS FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSES THAN TESTING/DEVELOPMENT   !

Installation:
-------------
1. Get the needed files.
2. Create the directory structure as shown below.
3. Unpack Gtk+ and its support libraries to \dev.  After that, you will
   have several subdirectories, e.g. \dev\bin, \dev\lib, etc.
4. Unpack the other support libs under \dev\lib, so you will find *.lib,
   *.dll, *.dsp, etc. in \dev\lib and the sources in \dev\lib\src.
5. Unpack the sylpheed-dev-20020401.lzh to \dev\prov\sylpheed.
6. Install the sylpheed sources under \dev\proj\sylpheed:
   * To use the non-claws version, unpack sylpheed-0.7.4.tar.bz2 and apply the
     patch from sylpheed-dev-20020401.lzh:
       patch -p0 < sylpheed-0.7.4-w32_20020401.diff
     Done.
   * To use the claws version, you can either use a CVS snapshot 
     (claws_snapshot_020413.zip is known to compile) and optionally update
     later or start from a plain checkout.
7. After installing the claws-sources, unpack the claws_patches_020312.zip
   under \dev\proj. It contains a new VC project, some "autogenerated" files
   and the claws_w32_020413.diff.
8. Apply the claws_w32 patches in \dev\proj\sylpheed\src:
     patch -p0 < claws_w32_020413.diff
   Done.

Hint: If you already have the sylpheed win32 sourcestree, you can download 
      claws_src_snapshot_020413.zip, which contains only the src directory
      from then claws CVS version (and the VC project).

Directory structure:
--------------------
\dev
 +-> include         # .h
 +-> lib             # .lib     --> comiled support libs
     +-> src         # .c .h    --> sources from libjconv and other
 +-> proj
    +-> sylpheed     # .dsp     --> msvc_project.diff
       +-> src                  --> CVS, bisonfiles.diff, claws-w32.diff
       +-> files
