So, how do we build Dovecot v2.2 on CentOS 5 ?
I decided to use:
ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp.sourceforge.net/pub/sourceforge/h/hp/hphp/CentOS%205%2064bit/RPM/autoconf-2.63-3.noarch.rpm
which required me to build m4 with a version > 1.4.7 (because I couldn't
find such an m4 version around).
Therefore, I used:
https://oss.oracle.com/el5/SRPMS/m4-1.4.5-3.el5.1.src.rpm with source
for v1.4.9 (from: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/) and I built
m4-1.4.9-1.el5.1.x86_64.rpm
After that, I was able to build Dovecot 2.2 successfully on CentOS 5.
Nevertheless, I had a bunch of warnings from autoconf, which I copy
below, in case someone can suggest how to avoid them.
Thanks and regards,
Nick
