先前在 "Finally! Thunderbird Addressbook integration!" 文章中提到，Torsten Curdt 把 Apple MacOS 上的 Thunderbird 加入對 Apple AddressBook 整合的能力。

剛剛 Torsten Curdt 的部落格上，發表了 "Thunderbird has landed" 這個新聞。裡頭提到提到 Torsten 大大已經公佈了如何在 MacOS X 上編譯整合 AddressBook 的 Thunderbird：

Last month I announced I got a working build of Thunderbird with Addressbook integration. Unfortunately it was just a shared library version only working on my machine. It was refering to all the libraries on my machine - so no luck for other people. So I had to look into how the guys from mozilla do their releases. After harassing them on IRC I was able to fix a little bug in the static build and create the dmg. Their tinderbox build logs turned out to be very helpful for figuring out how. So basically what I ended up doing is to look up the mozconfig of the official builds. You can do that by specifying “about:buildconfig” in the location for the startup page.

mk_add_options MOZ_CO_PROJECT=mail
mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/obj-@CONFIG_GUESS@

ac_add_options --with-macos-sdk=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk

ac_add_options --enable-application=mail

ac_add_options '--enable-optimize=-O2 -g'

ac_add_options --disable-debug

ac_add_options --disable-tests

ac_add_options --enable-static

ac_add_options --disable-shared

ac_add_options --enable-prebinding

ac_add_options --enable-update-packaging

ac_add_options --enable-update-channel=release

ac_add_options --enable-official-branding

Once you have the code base on your machine building is quite simple - it does take a while though. After doing a clean build with the patch applied you should end up with a Thunderbird.app folder in the dist directory that is about 450MB!! Packaging does the trick and strips down the binary so the final application is about 17MB. (Please note that I “make -f client.mk build” did not work as expected. You have to call the default target “make -f client.mk” as is fetches some more code from cvs)

make -f client.mk clean

make -f client.mk

make -C obj-powerpc-apple-darwin8.6.0/mail/installer

You should end up with a dmg in the dist folder. For convenience I’ve provided a copy of my build here. (This copy might go away at some stage) But be aware - this patch has not even been committed to trunk yet. Although it is now marked as a “maybe blocker” for Thunderbird 2.0 (hurray!). It’s a developer build - not a stable release. So better backup your profiles and addressbook before you give it a go. (Actually starting with a new profile might be a good idea to get the proper settings into your prefs.js)

If you like it - please provide feedback in bugzilla and continue to vote for the bug.

addressbook, osx, planet, thunderbird

這篇文章除了教你如何自己編譯 Thunderbird 外，也提供了 Torsten 大大編譯好的安裝檔，您可以點這裡，直接下載安裝檔。如果想要嘗鮮、不怕死的人，可以安裝 Torsten 大大提供的 Thunderbird 3.0 Alpha1 吧!!

BTW，剛剛用過了，挺不賴的，直接可以看到 Apple AddressBook 中的資料。 :)
