Claws-Mail 4.3.1 ArchPOWER Linux successfully compiled for PPC64

Due to the lack of a good graphical email client 1 for my Arch POWER Linux Distro (Arch Linux for PowerPC), I tried several things and ended up with claws-mail. But it is not installable or not existing in the repos of pacman for powerpc. So I dcided to compile it by myself.

Claws-Mail 4.3.1 just compiled successfully on my Powermac G5.

claws-mail first window, first start

Claws Mail is an email client (and news reader), based on GTK+, featuring:

  • Quick response
  • Graceful, and sophisticated interface
  • Easy configuration, intuitive operation
  • Abundant features
  • Extensibility
  • Robustness and stability

Okay, it is an really not beautiful email client, but it works great and we should not forget my ancient hardware from 2005 :-)
