Hi
I was trying to build test40 (and then test42, since it came out in the mean time) on my fresh Solaris 9 box at home, and ran into a few snags.
First problem was during the build. Make spat the dummy in the auth directory:Making all in auth make: Fatal error in reader: Makefile, line 701: Unexpected end of line seen Current working directory /home/pkg/dovecot-1.0-test42/src/auth
So, I went and checked it out, to find what certainly looked to me like an error:697:distclean-generic clean-generic maintainer-clean-generic clean
698:mostlyclean distclean maintainer-clean
699:
700: checkpassword-reply.c
701:
702:# Tell versions [3.59,3.63) of GNU make to not export all variables.
Originally, I tried tacking that onto the end of the preceding list, but when the next problem came about, I tried commenting it out... with no joy.
The next problem was in starting it. I've configured Dovecot before, and it runs great, keeping all the users at my work happy and supplied with spa... erm... e-mail. I also have an older test version installed on an old SparcStation 5 at home.
But when I try to start it, it complains of not being able to drop root group privileges. I googled about for a bit, and found mention of ensuring the minimum GID level was set right... but still no joy. I'm at a loss.
Any suggestions? Any requests for better info to help debug?-- Curtis Maloney cmaloney@cardgate.net
