Mutt is not compiled with color support
Last modified: 2014-03-16 22:09:21 EDT
The mutt-0.95.4us-4.src.rpm package in Starbuck and RawHide is not compiled with color support (one of the main features of mutt). The --with-color should be added to ./configure's command line. The second minor bug is that the spec file does not build mutt with $RPM_OPT_FLAGS. It seems that mutt's ./configure does not set these flags from the environment, so it should be added on make's command line as well. The pseudo-patch to the spec file follows: #automake autoconf CFLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS -I/usr/include/slang" LDFLAGS=-s ./configure \ - --prefix=/usr --with-sharedir=/etc --sysconfdir=/etc --enable-pop --enable-imap \ + --prefix=/usr --with-sharedir=/etc --sysconfdir=/etc --enable-pop \ + --enable-imap --with-color \ --disable-warnings --with-slang --disable-domain -make +make CFLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS -I/usr/include/slang" LDFLAGS=-s %install rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT make prefix=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr sharedir=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc \
Color support is working fine here. What sort of terminal are you using? (also, AFAICT, --with-color isn't even an option to configure) I'll add the OPT_FLAGS stuff in the next build here... ------- Email Received From Jan Kasprzak <kas@informatics.muni.cz> 04/26/99 10:51 -------
fixed in mutt-0.95.5us-2. If you manage to make it not rerun auto*, the CFLAGS that are passed to configure get passed through OK.
