can't build sendmail v8.13.4 with starttls support on slack 10.1

[ddaas]

Hi,
I have a problem building sendmail8.13.4 with starttls support on by slack 10.1 box.


In devtools/Site/ directory I created site.config.m4 file. It looks as follows:

APPENDDEF(`confENVDEF',`-DSTARTTLS')
APPENDDEF(`confLIBS', `-lssl -lcrypto')
APPENDDEF(`confLIBDIRS', `-L/usr/local/ssl/lib -R/usr/local/ssl/lib')
APPENDDEF(`confINCDIRS', `-I/usr/local/ssl/include')

Then I tried to run ./Build -c

The following errors occur:

cc: unrecognized option `-R/usr/local/ssl/lib'
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-slackware-linux/3.3.4/../../../../i486-slackware-linux/bin/ld: c
annot find -lphclient
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [t-event] Error 1

I've installed openssl-0.9.7g in its default directory /usr/local/ssl


Note: Without site.config.m4 file from devtools/Site Build works just fine.


Any ideas?

What do I do wrong?

Thanks a lot

You need to comment out or delete the following lines from your site.config.m4 file in
sendmail-8.13.4/devtools/Site/ :

dnl ### Changes for PH_MAP support.
APPENDDEF(`confMAPDEF',`-DPH_MAP')
APPENDDEF(`confLIBS', `-lphclient')
APPENDDEF(`confINCDIRS', `-I/opt/nph/include')
APPENDDEF(`confLIBDIRS', `-L/opt/nph/lib')

This option, which is included in the default sample file 'site.config.m4.sample', builds sendmail with support for phclient which you probably don't need.

Hope this helps - I've just successfully built sendmail 8.13.4 on a Slackware 10.1 server.
