I'm trying to make a simple email client and I have to parse mime messages which I then print in a QT interface. I read that gmime would do the job great, but g++ doesn't seem to be aware of the existence of the library. So far I have tried
sudo apt-get install libgmime-2.6-dev
sudo apt-get install libgmime2.6-cil
sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev
sudo apt-get install libgmime2.6-cil-dev
First thing I did really. It seemed to work well, but then
#include <gmime/gmime.h>
doesn't work (gmime.h not found). I checked /usr/include and the headers are all there, but no other sign of the library in my file system.
Afterwards I followed these instructions http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/general/gmime.html , but when I ran
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-static &&
make
I got
test-pkcs7.c:36:23: fatal error: gpg-error.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
I then tried a local inclusion of the library
#include "/home/user/Downloads/gmime-2.6.19/gmime/gmime.h"
But I got this error.
/home/user/Downloads/gmime-2.6.19/gmime/gmime.h:25: error: glib.h: No such file or directory
Has anyone encountered this before ?
When you try compiling your program, try this:
g++ -o myprogram myprogram.cpp `pkg-config --cflags --libs gmime-2.6`
The problem is that you need to tell the compiler which include paths to use (--cflags) and what library paths to use (--libs).
When compiling individual sources, you could do:
g++ -o file.o -c file.cpp `pkg-config --cflags gmime-2.6`
And then use pkg-config --libs gmime-2.6 for the final step.
