The GMime package contains a set of utilities for parsing and creating messages using the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (MIME) as defined by the applicable RFCs. See the GMime web site for the RFCs resourced. This is useful as it provides an API which adheres to the MIME specification as closely as possible while also providing programmers with an extremely easy to use interface to the API functions.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-7.0 platform.

User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/gmime
Install GMime by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-static && make
If you have DocBook-utils-0.6.14 installed and you wish to generate the API tutorials, issue the following commands:
pushd docs/tutorial && docbook2html --nochunks gmime-tut.sgml && docbook2pdf gmime-tut.sgml && docbook2ps gmime-tut.sgml && docbook2txt gmime-tut.sgml && popd
To test the results, issue: make check. Note that some tests may fail because the corresponding sub-system is not installed or configured properly.
Now, as the root user:
make install &&
install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/gmime-2.4.32 &&
install -v -m644 README \
/usr/share/doc/gmime-2.4.32
If you generated the API tutorials, still as the root user:
install -v -m644 docs/tutorial/gmime* \
/usr/share/doc/gmime-2.4.32
--disable-static: This switch prevents
installation of static versions of the libraries.
--enable-gtk-doc: Use this parameter if
GTK-Doc is installed and you wish
to rebuild and install the API documentation.
