Hi,

Works great for me; it has for a long time. My advice: upgrade your C compiler. I usually build dovecot with gcc 4.1.1, but it will also work well with Sun Studio 11. Sun Studio 11 is free if you have a Sun support contract/sunsolve login. See:

http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/downloads/

Dovecot has been pretty bullet-proof for me.

Hi all,

I'm having terrible time, and a lot of core dumps, building dovecot on Solaris 10.

My environment: gcc 3.3.2

LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/ssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto
-L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2/lib -ldb -L/usr/local/lib -lldap

CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB/include
-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/ssl/include

my configure: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-ldap

...that is:

Install prefix ...................... : /usr/local File offsets ........................ : 64bit I/O loop method ..................... : poll File change notification method ..... : none Building with SSL support ........... : yes (OpenSSL) Building with IPv6 support .......... : yes Building with pop3 server ........... : yes Building with mail delivery agent .. : yes Building with GSSAPI support ........ : no Building with user database modules . : static prefetch passwd passwd-file checkpassword ldap (modules) Building with password lookup modules : passwd passwd-file shadow pam checkpassword ldap (modules) Building with SQL drivers ............:

When I try to actually make it, this is the result:

I tried the rc27 and rc28 too with the same results. Does anybody experienced similar issues ?

thanks in advance bye

This is a ksh bug.

Try setting CONFIG_SHELL in libtool to /usr/xpg4/bin/sh.
