[Dovecot] dovecot does not find libpam when compiling with customized prefix
Hello everybody,
I try to compile dovecot 2.1.7 with a customized --prefix setting and --with-pam . Although I installed libpam into the same --prefix, dovecot does not find it:
checking for pam_start in -lpam... no configure: error: Can't build with PAM support: libpam not found
The same or a similar problem seems to have appeared 4 years ago: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2008-February/028750.html
Which libpam file does dovecot expect in which directory? And possibly there is something wrong with the pam_start function?
Thanks in advance,
Roland

Dovecot doesn't expect anything. gcc/ld expects things. You'll need to use the generic options to tell where the PAM files are, something like:
LDFLAGS=-L/where/is/pam/lib CPPFLAGS=-I/where/is/pam/include ./configure
