How to compile enigmail module on thunderbird

Compiling Enigmail

1. After compiling Mozilla Thunderbird, obtain the source code for the Enigmail module as described earlier.

2. Download the Enigmail Module(http://www.mozilla-enigmail.org/download/source/enigmail-0.95.7.tar.gz) tarball and extract it to a convenient location.

3. Copy enigmail folder to c:\proj\mozilla\THUNDERBIRD\mailnews\extensions\

4. Navigate into enigmail folder
cd THUNDERBIRD/mailnews/extensions/enigmail
Izhar@izhar /c/proj/mozilla/THUNDERBIRD/mailnews/extensions/enigmail

5. Compile enigmail module
./makemake -r

Packaging Enigmail XPI's
To allow others to use your compiled version of Enigmail, you need to create the XPI file(s) containing the Enigmail binaries. To build the Enigmail XPI run:

make xpi

from the same directory where you compiled Enigmail.

This will create enigmail--.xpi in the mozilla/dist/bin (or OBJDIR/dist/bin) folder.

Enjoy ubuntu... ;)
