[gentoo-user] beagle and thunderbird

[Stefan G. Weichinger]

Greets,

I never used beagle so far, only recently read an article about it and 
thought I would give it a try, so I emerged it yesterday.

So I have app-misc/beagle-0.2.18 now, with USE-flags "eds gtk pdf python 
thunderbird xscreensaver", along 
mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird-2.0.0.14 ...

And I have gnome-extra/deskbar-applet-2.20.3 installed for searching.

My question: When I search for an email (say, using the name of the 
sender) there are mails found OK, and when I click the result, I expect 
the mail to be displayed, but only thunderbird gets the focus, without 
the program being raised to the foreground, and without the actual mail 
being displayed (even when I change windows to thunderbird).

http://beagle-project.org/FAQ says:

"Google Summer of Code 2007 sponsored a beagle project on the 
Thunderbird backend. The work is finished and was merged in svn trunk in 
September, 2007. The thunderbird backend will be available in 0.3.0+."

Should I unmask this unstable release to get the feature I am looking for?

Should things behave as I expect them to behave?

Do I have to configure something somewhere?

Thanks for any help on this, greets, Stefan

You will have to keyword the following:

app-misc/beagle
dev-libs/libbeagle
dev-dotnet/dbus-sharp
dev-dotnet/dbus-glib-sharp
dev-dotnet/taglib-sharp

You will want to build Beagle with "-eds" otherwise that will add
additional deps on evolution-data-server etc which you probably don't
need since you use thunderbird.

Also, don't build Nautilus or Yelp with the "beagle" USE flag, the
stable versions (2.20) of both depend on beagle-0.2.18

If you face problems, feel free to mail this list or catch me
(bheekling) or Arun (Ford_Prefect) on #gentoo-desktop @ FreeNode or
#dashboard @ GimpNet (depending on whether the question is
gentoo-specific or beagle-specifi ;)

Beagle should behave, cedk (the maintainer) has kept the package in
good shape :)

Probably not. Your profile will be migrated automatically. Once again,
feel free to contact me or Arun if you face problems. This will help
us as well since Arun has recently started pushing for getting Beagle
stabilised with GNOME 2.22, and we would appreciate it if we could get
some testers :)

OK, did that ...

Understood and set accordingly.

Yup, I face (a) problem(s):

I keyworded the mentioned pkgs and tried to emerge beagle.

I get access violations and libbeagle does not emerge successfully:

I don't want to delete them, I prefer to ask you first ;)

Thanks for any help, Stefan
