dovecot - Mar 2014 - Compile Metadata for 2.2.9

hi,

I use Debian Wheezy backports for Dovecot  and I want to compile the latest
metadata plugin, but it fails:

the metadata plugin was downloaded via:
http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-metadata-plugin/archive/tip.tar.gz

root at build:~/dovecot-metadata-plugin-b6df1381bb79# ./configure
--with-dovecot=/usr/lib/dovecot/  && make

[...]
/bin/bash ../libtool  --tag=CC   --mode=compile gcc -std=gnu99 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H

I tried also hg clone ..., but got the same ...

Do I need Dovecot 2.2.10 to compile successful ?

if depends on your needs. dovecot support IMAP METADATA Extension (RFC  
5464) out of the box.
at least I do not need a separate source package anymore.

I have this with dovecot-2.2.12:

--- snip
imap_metadata = yes
mail_attribute_dict = file:Maildir/dovecot-metadata
--- snap

together with "mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir"
dovecot create it's operational files at the usual location.
works perfect with my horde ...
