[sylpheed:35686] Re: Sylpheed compile error on Windows/MinGW

[Ho Sy Tan]

Thank you for your advice.

The reason that I like to build Sylpheed by myself is I want to run
Sylpheed on special USB device.
Can I change Sylpheed source so it stored profile/mail data on a special
patition (need use my driver software), nnly Sylpheed can read /write to
this partition?
There are too many viruses/malwares in my company network, so I want
Sylpheed runs on a separate drive, viruses malwares cannot infect to this
USB device.

To compile Sylpheed 3.3.0 on MinGW, do I need to recompile OpenSSL for
MinGW? What vision of OpenSSL should I choose for Sylpheed 3.3.0?
