I've been playing for hours with the dovecot.spec file to build --with-mysql. The resulting RPM builds fine but when dovecot runs it does not recognize the passdb mysql statement.
I also noted that the spec file has a version of 1.0-stable and rpmbuild complains about an invalid '-' in the version.
Being a newbie in rpmbuild, can someone assist me in building for CentOS 4 on i386? standard build options but --with-mysql added.
I also tried to install it from sources and it does not work (at least for me). Being a RPM user now I have to clean what the source installation did and i have no clue where the 'make install' placed files.
BTW I am trying to build a manual (pdf, html) with the following config and im only stuck with dovecot, the other daemons are ready.
Target Server: CentOS 4 with apache, postfix, mysql, dovecot, openwebmail,clamav, clamd, php,zlib,openssh, webmin and samba. All virtual running from mysql where possible, no local users no local storage (all to the mysql db/tables).
Not wanted: postgresql, courier,vpopmail,kerberos,sasl,ssl (that might be in manual v2.0 if 1.0 ever sees the light) The system does not have X (no need for fancy graphs)
file used: http://www.dovecot.org/nightly/stable/dovecot-stable-20051102.tar.gz
RPMs Used: All RPMs that can be located in the CentOS 4 CDs so new users (like me) can do as much as needed without downloading.
Devel RPMs: All devel (mysql, pam, openssl) are installed and they are recognized at building time.
Your help will be appreciated in this task.
Thanks,
