I'm attempting to compile dovecot --with-cdb, but keep getting into a problem with cdb: ======================== libtool: link: gcc -std=gnu99 -g -O2 -Wall -W -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wpointer-arith -Wchar-subscripts -Wformat=2 -Wbad-function-cast -fno-builtin-strftime -Wstrict-aliasing=2 -Wl,--as-needed -o .libs/anvil main.o anvil-connection.o

After some troubleshooting, I've finally managed to get dovecot to compile, albeit with a hack:

This isn't the best fix, admittedly (I wish I were more familiar with autotools), but I'll say that the configure process isn't right yet for cdb. Can anybody produce a better fix? Would love to learn more.
ok, well I guess that "fixed" the compilation, but as I've just found out, it does *not* link in libcdb (I've got libcdb in /usr/local/lib)
anvil-settings.o properly!
Has anybody tried to compile dovecot with cdb support?
For anybody following: sorry, my bad. It turns out I hadn't set CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS during the configure to use /usr/local/{include,lib}. When that's done, this works (in the sense that libdovecot.so is now linked with libcdb!).
I'm not so sure that this is the best place to link libcdb in, though, but for an expedient fix, it works.... Would appreciate somebody more familiar with the code weighing in on this one.
Well, it was never supposed to be linked to anything except the dict binary, allowing it to be used via the dict proxy. Changed: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.2/rev/16ff063e3588
Thanks, Timo. Is this the only patch that needs to go in for the current version (2.2.15)? I've applied this to 2.2.15, and configured and compiled as before: CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib ./configure --with-cdb make and I still get the same errors. -jf
