I am having a problem with the configure script for Dovecot 1.0b8. It doesn't seem to be compiling in sql engine driver support. I have specified --with-sql and --with-pgsql but when the script is done it says "Building with SQL drivers ..............:" but lists no drivers afterwards. I tried compiling it anyway but it logs the error " auth(default): Unknown database driver 'pgsql' " so the it defiantly didn't get compiled in. My pgsql includes and libs are in a non standard location but I specified that in the CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS before the ./configure invocation. What have I done wrong here, or is there a bug in the script?
The whole invocation is: CPPFLAGS='-I/usr/local/openssl-0.9.8b/include -I/usr/local/pgsql-8.1.4/include' LDFLAGS='-L/usr/local/openssl-0.9.8b/lib -L/usr/local/pgsql-8.1.4/lib' ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/dovecot-1.0b8 --sysconfdir=/etc/dovecot --localstatedir=/var --with-ioloop=eooll --with-notify=dnotify --without-pop3d --with-storages=maildir --with-sql --with-pgsql --with-gnu-ld
what does config.log say? and does it report any problems with finding openssl?
the problem may be that the shared libraries can't be found at runtime, in which case you will need to set the rpath in the binaries that are built. you didn't mention which platform/compiler you're using, but this is done using the -Wl,-R<directory> argument for gcc and Sun Studio compiler/Solaris ld, at least (-Wl passes the next argument to the linker, -R tells the linker to include this path in the binary's rpath).
grant.
