So through trial and error and researching I have figured out why I am getting this compiling error

Basically, I originally installed Dovecot through yum using Centos 5.5 that installed the libraries and bin files in different directories then the source files would.

Yum Installation: /usr/libexec/dovecot Source Files: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot

So this error that I am getting....."gcc: @CFLAGS@: No such file or directory"

How would I set up the path so when I do ./configure with Sieve....it points to the correct location of the library and bin files?

Any help is appreciated. I really need to fix this.

Thanks

I am afraid to try a new version at the moment because the mail system is in production and I don't want to break it.

If I did upgrade to a newer version would the current configuration files be written over and would I have to do everything from scratch again?

Hi,

I am having compiling issues with Sieve and I am not sure what the error is stating.

Also, I did not originally have the source files and I had to download them for *dovecot-config*. Not sure if that makes a difference or not.

Why are you compiling these ancient relics? We're at Dovecot v2.0 these days. :)

Also, I don't see much to go on here. Apparently, @CFLAGS@ is not properly substituted, but I cannot tell you why.

My advice: try a (much) newer version.

Regards,

Stephan.
