The best way to build it would be to use the installer build system to
build Claws from git rather than a tarball.

In packages/packages.current, change the claws_mail line from:

claws_mail,3.19.0,file,https://www.claws-mail.org/releases/claws-mail-3.19.0.tar.xz,0d0c757a9975da1f97bf5309cd051c18ad6c765fefe9319276aa3a9e48229fa2,,

to

claws_mail,3.19.0-42-g1d816bb15,git,git://git.claws-mail.org/claws.git,4b52b65a533478723d4337ccc1b045a32ffd656de6ed7cfe4da1f3e5be7a7718,gtk2,1d816bb15

to build from current git head.
