It is a problem doing 'make clean' with an empty Makefile.

I moved the CVS file up, then deleted whole dovecot-lda directory, then
mkdir dovecot-lda, then move CVS file down, then 'cvs update'.

Using script with autogen.sh, I get the following output:

[root at hoho0 dovecot-lda]# sh ../conf-lda-cvs-rdg.sh
/usr/share/aclocal/libmcrypt.m4:17: warning: underquoted definition of
AM_PATH_LIBMCRYPT
  run info '(automake)Extending aclocal'
  or see
http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal
configure.in: installing `./install-sh'
configure.in: installing `./missing'
src/Makefile.am: installing `./depcomp'
configure.in: installing `./ylwrap'
Makefile.am: installing `./INSTALL'
configure.in:4: required file `lda-config.h.in' not found
[root at hoho0 dovecot-lda]#

The diagnostic is odd, because there is a 'lda-config.h.in' file

[root at hoho0 dovecot-lda]# ls -l lda-config.h.in
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 1670 Dec 11 06:26 lda-config.h.in

But, there wasn't one just after the cvs update. It must have been
created during the autogen.sh, but not quite at the right time?

Going on:

Executing the script:

[root at hoho0 dovecot-lda]# cat ../conf-lda-rdg.sh
export CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/ssl/include
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/ssl/lib -ldl"

./configure    \
  --with-dovecot=../dovecot \
2>&1  | tee config.out
[root at hoho0 dovecot-lda]#

I get:

[root at hoho0 dovecot-lda]# sh ../conf-lda-rdg.sh
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes

<snip>

checking rxposix.h usability... no
checking rxposix.h presence... no
checking for rxposix.h... no
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: error: cannot find input file: Makefile.in
[root at hoho0 dovecot-lda]#

And, indeed, at this step, there is no Makefile.in in the directory.

----

Since I do now have an lda-config.h.in, I repeat the autogen process (no
drastic wipeout clean)

[root at hoho0 dovecot-lda]# sh ../conf-lda-cvs-rdg.sh
/usr/share/aclocal/libmcrypt.m4:17: warning: underquoted definition of
AM_PATH_LIBMCRYPT
  run info '(automake)Extending aclocal'
  or see
http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal
[root at hoho0 dovecot-lda]#

Now, at the end of this process, I do have a Makefile.in

Now, repeating the ./configure stage:

[root at hoho0 dovecot-lda]# sh ../conf-lda-rdg.sh

<snip>

checking rxposix.h usability... no
checking rxposix.h presence... no
checking for rxposix.h... no

config.status: creating Makefile

---- Hung Here --

After ^c, no Makefile created...
