Hello.

I cant build 2.2.25, but I can build fine version 2.2.24 with same options:

RedHat based customized distro, 2.6.28.10 kernel http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2016-July/104798.html

But config.h does contain #define STATIC_ARRAY and does not contain #define STATIC_ARRAY static

And also src/lib/macros.h does include the fix - https://github.com/dovecot/core/commit/f54d511597447e40f5413716c10520a722936...

So older systems can't upgrade anymore?

art We are considering stopping support for old distros because maintaining support for them is becoming increasingly difficult.

Please consider upgrading your distribution instead? It is rather old.

Well, don't do it on the middle of the v2.2, this is not the nice way, changing in the middle of version distribution requirements. Be flexible, do it for example since v2.3 or something like this.

Ah, no it wasn't for CentOS5. Sorry.

Our testings indicate that you can compile 2.2.25.1 on CentOS5 with these applied.

Well, tried with or without patches, but got still same error:

sha1.h:80: error: static or type qualifiers in abstract declarator

Editing config.h, #define STATIC_ARRAY static > #define STATIC_ARRAY does help, but as configure generates via confdefs.h config.h file, then it's overwritten every time by configure:

if test $i_cv_c99_static_arrays = yes; then static_value=static else static_value= fi

cat >>confdefs.h <<_ACEOF #define STATIC_ARRAY $static_value _ACEOF

So finally I just manually removed, as a dirty workaround, the STATIC_ARRAY value from test result "yes":

if test $i_cv_c99_static_arrays = yes; then static_value= else static_value= fi

And dovecot compiled fine from latest, unpatched dovecot-2.2.25.tar.gz source. During rpm install I got error, that this build depends on libstats_auth.so and found that it have to be in /usr/lib/dovecot/stats folder, so I included it in spec file and rebuilt rpm again and installed it.

So far all OK.
