Question about gnus-picon

Question about gnus-picon

[Christian Kurz]

Hi,

I'm using pgnus here, but I haven't installed w3 because I don't need
it. I don't have any problems with this combination with gnus except a
little warning while compiling pgnus. While compiling gnus-picon.el I
get the message that he couldn't open load-file url which is a file of
the w3-package. Could you change this function so, that he doesn't
complain if it's not available? 

Regards Christian

What is the message, exactly?

Yup.  Fix in Pterodactyl Gnus v0.63.

This solved this problem. But no I get the following message during the
compilation:

Compiling /home/shorty/work/pgnus/lisp/gnus-picon.el...
While compiling gnus-picons-url-retrieve in file /home/shorty/work/pgnus/lisp/gnus-picon.el:
** assignment to free variable url-be-asynchronous
** assignment to free variable url-current-callback-data
** assignment to free variable url-current-callback-func
While compiling gnus-picons-network-display-callback:
** reference to free variable url-current-mime-type
** reference to free variable w3-image-mappings
While compiling the end of the data:
** the function url-retrieve is not known to be defined.

The problem is, that I haven't installed w3 and I don't want to install
it just because gnus needs it. I don't have a problem with 0.62 without
w3 and so I would suggest, that you change the function to check if w3
is available or not. Is this possible? I have looked at the
gnus-picon.el but I'm not sure if is possible or not. Thanks in advance

You don't need w3.  Just ignore the warnings.
