hi all,
a few notes/issues re: building dovecot on OSX.
first, after DL of cvs-head,
% autogen.sh
reports:
autogen.sh: line 2: libtoolize: command not found
o OSX, 'libtoolize' has been sed'd to glibtoolize.
couple of ways to deal with this:
(a) edit in autogen.sh
aclocal
--- libtoolize --force
+++ glibtoolize --force
automake --add-missing
autoheader
autoconf
(b) run
% autoreconf -i -f
instead
(c) i suppose yout can link:
% ln -s /usr/bin/glibtoolize /usr/bin/libtoolize
imho, too 'kludgy' ... never tried it.
(d) put some sort of conditional in autogen.sh ... many options of course
e.g.:
HOSTTYPE=`uname`
if [ "$HOSTTYPE" == "Darwin" ]; then
LIBTOOLIZE=glibtoolize
else
LIBTOOLIZE=libtoolize
fi
fwiw, i'm using (b) -->
% autoreconf -i -f
successfully.
next, dovecot's ./configure fails at the check for openssl:
...
checking whether va_lists can be copied by value... yes
./configure: line 27241: syntax error near unexpected token `SSL,'
./configure: line 27241: ` PKG_CHECK_MODULES(SSL, openssl)'
%
within a pkg-config stanza ...
as pkg-config does not exist on OSX, a couple of hacks in
'configure.in':
================================================== (EDITOR) configure.in
@1032
if test "$want_openssl" = "yes" && test
"$have_ssl" = "no"; then
--- if pkg-config --exists openssl; then
+++ if test -f openssl; then
--- PKG_CHECK_MODULES(SSL, openssl)
CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $SSL_CFLAGS"
==================================================
, followed, of course, by another:
% autoreconf -i -f
take care of the problem.
with changes as above, 'configure' with:
./configure \
--prefix=/usr/local/dovecot \
--exec-prefix=/usr/local/dovecot \
--bindir=/usr/local/dovecot/bin \
--sbindir=/usr/local/dovecot/sbin \
--libexecdir=/usr/local/dovecot/libexec \
--libdir=/usr/local/dovecot/lib \
--includedir=/usr/local/dovecot/include \
--sysconfdir=/var/Settings/Dovecot \
--localstatedir=/var/Process \
--mandir=/var/Documentation/man \
--datadir=/var/Data/Dovecot \
--with-ssl=openssl --with-ssldir=/usr/local \
--with-rundir=/var/Process/dovecot \
--with-moduledir=/usr/local/dovecot-modules \
--enable-shared \
--enable-static \
--enable-ipv6 \
--with-pgsql \
--disable-debug
completes sueccessfully, as do:
make
make check
make install
resulting in:
% ls -aR
.:
. .. libexec sbin
./libexec:
. .. dovecot
./libexec/dovecot:
. checkpassword-reply dovecot-auth imap-login pop3-login
.. deliver imap pop3 rawlog
./sbin:
. .. dovecot dovecotpw
as, i believe, expected.
now, onward!
cheers,
richard
