<br />Depends on your system. It mostly a matter of setting a proper --prefix directory for configure, but other paths are configurable as well. I usually check what the official distribution package for Dovecot is doing and use that as a basis.<br /><br /><span style="white-space: nowrap;">For Debian I use the following configure command:</span><br /><br />./configure --with-ldap=plugin --with-ssl=openssl --with-sql=plugin --with-lua=plugin --with-pgsql --with-mysql --with-sqlite \<br /> --with-gssapi=plugin --with-solr --with-ioloop=best --enable-maintainer-mode \<br /> --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --libexecdir=/usr/lib --localstatedir=/var --mandir=/usr/share/man \<br /> --infodir=/usr/share/info --with-moduledir=/usr/lib/dovecot/modules --disable-rpath --disable-static<br /><br /><span style="white-space: nowrap;">Regards,</span><br /><br />Stephan<br /><br />
