Building dovecot-core

[Paul Kudla (SCOM.CA Internet Services Inc.)]

ok

download the tarball for BOTH dovecot & pigeonhole

unzip / whatever into a build src dir

i use

/programs/src/mail

dovecot-2.3.19 for the core

dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.19 for pigeonhole

make a currentconfig script file

containing

[13:57:42] peer1.scom.ca [paul:0] /programs/src/mail/dovecot-2.3.19.new
## cat currentconfig
./configure --with-pgsql --with-lucene


(i use pgsql & lucene for the search engine)


run the config (remember THIS IS THE SOURCE TARBALL NOT A BUILD)

ie --> ./configure --with-pgsql --with-lucene

gmake

gmake install


then make pigeonhole

same as above

currentconfig to contain

## cat currentconfig
./configure --with-dovecot=/usr/local/lib/dovecot

note you need to do a chmod +x to the currentconfig file in order to run it.

again like above

gmake
gmake install

thats the basics.





Happy Thursday !!!
Thanks - paul
