Hello

I changed our old gcc compiler from the version: gcc-4.1.2-13.fc6 to the newer one: gcc version 8.3.0 (GCC). Then I wanted to compile: Dovecot 2.3.7 and I get the following error with ./configure

CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/openssl/include"
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/openssl/lib"
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/dovecot
--disable-static
--with-ssl=openssl

checking whether fd passing works... no configure: error: fd passing is required for Dovecot to work

With the old Compiler configure works well. I couldn't find a solution on the Internet - can you help me ?

Can you check your config.log file for any hints? It can be bit annoying to read, but looking for 'fd pass' might help.
