I would like to compile Dovecot using custom ldap libraries, located
at a particular custom system location.
Sorry, I got it. According to http://wiki2.dovecot.org/CompilingSource I
should use:
CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/openldap/include"
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/openldap/lib64 -lldap -llber" ./configure
I found (coincidentally) that it also works simply with
"LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/openldap/lib64" but I guess it is more correct to
use the full syntax: LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/openldap/lib64 -lldap -llber"
(or even "... -lldap" only). However, I can't tell the real difference.
If you can shed some light on it, that would be very useful to me.
Thanks and regards,
