Not able to start dovecot
Freshly compiled dovecot 2.3.9.3 on Centos 7 for some reason not able to start

I have compiled the same code on Centos 6 and had no problem to run it.
Any thoughts on that?
Thanks, Adam
I was able to solve errors below but now it complains about the startup how is handled on Centos7:

Use a proper systemd unit file instead of the initd script.

Use e.g. the following for getting started:
# This file is part of Dovecot
#
# DO NOT CUSTOMIZE THIS FILE, INSTEAD
# create the file:
# /etc/systemd/system/dovecot.service.d/service.conf'. # or copy this as # /etc/systemd/system/dovecot.service` and edit then
# and put your changes there
