Re: Problems building from source under Trixie

William, I think you are missing the pkg-config package, that is used by dovecot to find the libraries. Try to install pkg-config and to run configure with no additional variable:

./configure
--prefix=/usr/local/dovecot
--with-sql
--with-mysql
--without-pam
--without-pgsql
--without-sqlite
--with-solr
--with-bzlib
--with-lz4
--with-ldap

I am running Debian Trixie. I try building the, but the configuration fails: I tried building with: ./configure
--prefix=/usr/local/dovecot
--with-sql
--with-mysql
--without-pam
--without-pgsql
--without-sqlite
--with-solr
--with-bzlib
--with-lz4
--with-ldap

I get configure: error: cannot build with MySQL support: Neither MySQL (mysqlclient) nor MariaDB library (libmariadb) found. But I did install libldb-dev. I also installed libldap2-dev liblz4-dev

But when I do: EXPAT_CFLAGS=/usr/include EXPAT_LIBS=/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
LZ4_CFLAGS=/usr/include LZ4_LIBS=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
ZLIB_CFLAGS=/usr/include ZLIB_LIBS=/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
MARIADB_LIBS=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu MARIADB_CFLAGS=/usr/include/mariadb
./configure
--prefix=/usr/local/dovecot
--with-sql
--with-mysql
--without-pam
--without-pgsql
--without-sqlite
--with-solr
--with-bzlib
--with-lz4

It configures, them fails in the build.

I got some LZ4_DEPRECATED("use LZ4_compress_default() instead") LZ4LIB_API int LZ4_compress (const char* src, char* dest, int srcSize);

I get a bunch of linker errors: /usr/bin/ld: ./.libs/libcompression.a(istream-lz4.o): in function i_stream_lz4_read': /usr/local/src/dovecot-2.4.2/src/lib-compression/istream-lz4.c:192:(.text+0x619): undefined reference to LZ4_decompress_safe' /usr/bin/ld: ./.libs/libcompression.a(istream-zlib.o): in function i_stream_zlib_init': /usr/local/src/dovecot-2.4.2/src/lib-compression/istream-zlib.c:324:(.text+0x1d): undefined reference to inflateInit2_' /usr/bin/ld: ./.libs/libcompression.a(istream-zlib.o): in function i_stream_zlib_close': /usr/local/src/dovecot-2.4.2/src/lib-compression/istream-zlib.c:46:(.text+0xa8): undefined reference to inflateEnd' /usr/bin/ld: ./.libs/libcompression.a(istream-zlib.o): in function i_stream_zlib_reset': /usr/local/src/dovecot-2.4.2/src/lib-compression/istream-zlib.c:358:(.text+0x168): undefined reference to inflateEnd' /usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/src/dovecot-2.4.2/src/lib-compression/istream-zlib.c:358:(.text+0x3a7): undefined reference to inflateEnd' /usr/bin/ld: ./.libs/libcompression.a(istream-zlib.o): in function i_stream_zlib_read': /usr/local/src/dovecot-2.4.2/src/lib-compression/istream-zlib.c:264:(.text+0x97f): undefined reference to inflate' /usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/src/dovecot-2.4.2/src/lib-compression/istream-zlib.c:220:(.text+0xa7f): undefined reference to inflateEnd' /usr/bin/ld: ./.libs/libcompression.a(ostream-lz4.o): in function o_stream_lz4_compress': /usr/local/src/dovecot-2.4.2/src/lib-compression/ostream-lz4.c:94:(.text+0x12f): undefined reference to LZ4_compress' /usr/bin/ld: ./.libs/libcompression.a(ostream-zlib.o): in function o_stream_zlib_close': /usr/local/src/dovecot-2.4.2/src/lib-compression/ostream-zlib.c:91:(.text+0x1ee): undefined reference to deflateEnd' /usr/bin/ld: ./.libs/libcompression.a(ostream-zlib.o): in function o_stream_create_zlib': /usr/local/src/dovecot-2.4.2/src/lib-compression/ostream-zlib.c:412:(.text+0x339): undefined reference to deflateInit2_' /usr/bin/ld: ./.libs/libcompression.a(ostream-zlib.o): in function o_stream_zlib_send_flush': /usr/local/src/dovecot-2.4.2/src/lib-compression/ostream-zlib.c:281:(.text+0x577): undefined reference to deflate' /usr/bin/ld: ./.libs/libcompression.a(ostream-zlib.o): in function o_stream_zlib_send_chunk': /usr/local/src/dovecot-2.4.2/src/lib-compression/ostream-zlib.c:213:(.text+0x83b): undefined reference to deflate'

Any suggestions?
