[Dovecot] Cannot build rpm with mysql support from dovecot.spec

[Erick Perez]

I've been playing for hours with the dovecot.spec file to build
--with-mysql. The resulting RPM builds fine but when dovecot runs it
does not recognize the passdb mysql statement.

I also noted that the spec file has a version of 1.0-stable and
rpmbuild complains about an invalid '-' in the version.

Being a newbie in rpmbuild, can someone assist me in building for
CentOS 4 on i386? standard build options but --with-mysql added.

I also tried to install it from sources and it does not work (at least
for me). Being a RPM user now I have to clean what the source
installation did and i have no clue where the 'make install' placed
files.

BTW I am trying to build a manual (pdf, html) with the following
config and im only stuck with dovecot, the other daemons are ready.

Target Server: CentOS 4 with apache, postfix, mysql, dovecot,
openwebmail,clamav, clamd, php,zlib,openssh, webmin and samba. All
virtual running from mysql where possible, no local users no local
storage (all to the mysql db/tables).

Not wanted: postgresql, courier,vpopmail,kerberos,sasl,ssl (that might
be in manual v2.0 if 1.0 ever sees the light)
The system does not have X (no need for fancy graphs)

file used: http://www.dovecot.org/nightly/stable/dovecot-stable-20051102.tar.gz

RPMs Used: All RPMs that can be located in the CentOS 4 CDs so new
users (like me) can do as much as needed without downloading.

Devel RPMs: All devel (mysql, pam, openssl) are installed and they are
recognized at building time.

Your help will be appreciated in this task.



Thanks,
