Code Repository

If you want to test Pan between releases, you can download it from GNOME GIT repository. live.gnome.org has instructions for getting it.

If you have git installed, you can clone the pan2 repository, which contains the actively developed 2006 Pan rewrite in C++, by running:

git clone git://git.gnome.org/pan2

To clone the older, unmaintained version, run:

git clone git://git.gnome.org/pan

If all goes well, runnning ./autogen.sh; make in the pan2 directory will result in the executable pan2/pan/gui/pan.

Compiling Pan requires the header files for gtk2 and gmime. On most systems these are optional packages named gtk2-devel and gmime-devel. You'll need one more optional package, gnome-common.

Remaining tools typically come built-in on systems configured for development: gcc, m4, automake, autoconf, pkg-config, and intltool.

K. Haley's bugfix & testing repository

If you want to use the bleeding edge of Pan, you can clone K. Haley's repository where the actual code development mostly happens:

git clone git://github.com/lostcoder/pan2.git

You may want to checkout the testing branch then to get the latest code. Change to the pan2 directory and run:

git checkout --track origin/testing

The same prerequisites as for the building Pan from the GNOME GIT repository should apply.
