Dovecot fails to compile --with-cdb (and attempted fix)
Dovecot version: 2.2.15 Tinycdb: 0.78 I'm attempting to compile dovecot --with-cdb, but keep getting into a problem with cdb: =======================libtool: link: gcc -std=gnu99 -g -O2 -Wall -W -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wpointer-arith -Wchar-subscripts -Wformat=2 -Wbad-function-cast -fno-builtin-strftime -Wstrict-aliasing=2 -Wl,--as-needed -o .libs/anvil main.o anvil-connection.o anvil-settings.o connect-limit.o penalty.o -Wl,--export-dynamic ../../src/lib-dovecot/.libs/libdovecot.so -ldl -lrt -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib/dovecot ../../src/lib-dovecot/.libs/libdovecot.so: undefined reference to `cdb_read' ../../src/lib-dovecot/.libs/libdovecot.so: undefined reference to `cdb_find' ../../src/lib-dovecot/.libs/libdovecot.so: undefined reference to `cdb_free' ../../src/lib-dovecot/.libs/libdovecot.so: undefined reference to `cdb_init' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [anvil] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/jf/dovecot-2.2.15/src/anvil' ========================= After some troubleshooting, I've finally managed to get dovecot to compile, albeit with a hack: --- src/lib-dovecot/Makefile.old 2015-03-09 17:36:15.690179802 +0000 +++ src/lib-dovecot/Makefile 2015-03-09 18:01:43.075719700 +0000 @@ -230,7 +230,7 @@ LIBDOVECOT_STORAGE_DEPS = $(top_builddir)/src/lib-storage/ libdovecot-storage.la $(top_builddir)/src/lib-imap-storage/ libimap-storage.la LIBICONV LIBOBJS -LIBS = -lrt +LIBS = -lrt -lcdb LIBTOOL = $(SHELL) $(top_builddir)/libtool LIBWRAP_LIBS LINKED_STORAGE_LDADD This isn't the best fix, admittedly (I wish I were more familiar with autotools), but I'll say that the configure process isn't right yet for cdb.

It turns out I hadn't set CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS during the configure to use /usr/local/{include,lib}. When that's done, this works (in the sense that libdovecot.so is now linked with libcdb!). I'm not so sure that this is the best place to link libcdb in, though, but for an expedient fix, it works.... Would appreciate somebody more familiar with the code weighing in on this one. thanks, -jf -- He who settles on the idea of the intelligent man as a static entity only shows himself to be a fool.
