Created attachment 1446 [details] Patch for Makefie.in I use Slackware with KDE. After successfully compiling from source and installing. Then tried to start Claws Mail from my Quicklaunch icon it failed, missing "claws-mail.desktop". The menu option was also missing. Perhaps this was intentional, perhaps not. Noted in change log "Remove appdata." Is claws-mail.desktop part of "appdata"? I'm thinking it's not, of course I could be wrong. The file is present in the root tree of the source. At any rate I created a patch for Makefile.am and Makefile.in correct this possible oversight. Seems to work alright. My Quicklaunch icon works as expected and the menu item is back. === Patch for Makefile.am ==== --- Makefile.am 2014-10-28 02:56:56.000000000 +0800 +++ Makefile.am.new 2014-11-01 16:41:05.534958325 +0800 @@ -34,6 +34,11 @@ pixmap128dir=$(datadir)/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps pixmap128_DATA=claws-mail-128x128.png +# when changing the name or location of the .desktop file, +# also update src/common/Makefile.am +gnomapdir = $(datadir)/applications +gnomap_DATA=claws-mail.desktop + rename-icons: @cd $(DESTDIR)$(datadir)/icons/hicolor/64x64/apps && \ mv claws-mail-64x64.png claws-mail.png ==== Patch for Makefile.in attached.
