Ubuntu :: Thunderbird 3.0.9 - Lightning Plugin For X86-64?

With the most recent upgrade of Thunderbird to 3.0.9 I was unable to find a 64-bit version of the lightning calendar plug-in. I tried compiling my own copy of thunderbird v3 from source (3.0.10pre) and it loaded into 3.0.9 perfectly! Rename the attached files to drop the last ".bz2" (files should end in ".00" and ".01") then combine both files with the command

Code:

cat lightning.tar.bz2.* >lightning.tar.bz2

If you want to try compiling your own copy instead, just read the websites quoted in the header to ensure you have all dependencies then simply run this batch file

Code:

#/bin/sh
#Compile Thunderbird c/w lightning
#script compiled from: https://developer.mozilla.org/index.php?title=en/Simple_Thunderbird_build&action=print
