Oh-Oh!  attachwarner and fancy plugins are not in the CM base,  and
I've never needed to build the extra plugins previously....  I don't see
any instructions on the website. 

Is there a hidden build procedure somewhere that I haven't found?  The
instructions at http://claws-mail.org/cvs.php?section=projects seem
incomplete, and the FAQ mentions building on a Mac; but still don't see
the magic incantation for building the extra plugins...

Forgive me while I wipe my brain to noob-state and carefully follow the
instructions I've found...  Tried a fresh install like this:

cd /usr/local/src
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous at claws-mail.org:/ co -r gtk2 claws
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous at claws-mail.org:/ co contacts
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous at claws-mail.org:/ co -r gtk2 plugins
cd claws
./autogen.sh

make
## Lots of warnings:
##   addressbook.c & addrselect.c:
##     warning: comparison between ‘*Type’ and ‘enum <anonymous>’
##   editldap.c & spamassassin_gtk.c:
##     warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type

make install
## basic CM works... so far, so good...

## Since I couldn't find instructions for plugins, tried:
cd ../plugins
export cwd=`pwd`
for d in `ls`; \
  do [ -r $d/autogen.sh ] && \
    cd $d && \
    echo && \
    echo "========> CWD: `pwd`" && \
    ./autogen.sh && \
    make; \
    cd $cwd; \
  done

## All return:
>No package 'claws-mail' found
## See attached console output for other errors encountered...

Can't easily find what PKG_CONFIG_PATH, CLAWS_MAIL_FLAGS and
CLAWS_MAIL_LIBS should be set to and pkg-config is not very helpful to
this old brain.

After all this, tried:

cp -af /usr/local/src/plugins/* /usr/local/src/claws/src/plugins

but, still no joy...  :(

Anyone got a clue-stick to whack me with?  Based on Andrej's comment,
should the plugins be cleaned out and merged?

Thanks,
Pierre
