Dear all,
I'm building a pop toaster, have qmail up and running, vpopmail too,
now trying to get courier-imap-4.1.1 working.
Platform: FreeBSD 6.0_RELEASE, GENERIC kernel.
Problem: when installing from source, ./configure works OK (non-root,
as advised):
$./configure --without-authdaemon --with-authvchkpw
--enable-unicode=iso-8859-1,iso-8859-15,utf-8
but...
$make check
<snip>
Linking maildirmake
Linking testmaildirfilter
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpcre
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/download/qmail/courier-imap-4.1.1/maildir.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/download/qmail/courier-imap-4.1.1/maildir.
*** Error code 1
maildir/Makefile has:
...
CPPFLAGS = -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include
...
CXXFLAGS = -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include -Wall
...
LDFLAGS = -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib -rpath=/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib
...
Is there any reason these should be specified twice? Why doesn't
LDFLAGS mention /usr/local/include - which is where my pcre.h is?
Still working with the source, I tried:
$ env -v "LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/include
-rpath=/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/include" ./configure
--without-authdaemon --with-authvchkpw
--enable-unicode=iso-8859-1,iso-8859-15,utf-8
which fails with:

configure: WARNING: package for your operating system.
configure: error: FAM development libraries not found.
configure: error: /usr/local/bin/bash './configure' failed for maildir
# locate fam.h
/usr/local/include/fam.h
Furthermore, when using the port, the installation completes without
any warnings, but in
/usr/ports/mail/courier-imap/work/courier-imap-4.1.1/maildir/config.log,
I see:
...
| #include <pcre/pcre.h>
configure:21219: result: no
configure:21223: checking pcre/pcre.h presence
configure:21233: cc -E -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include conftest.c
conftest.c:33:23: pcre/pcre.h: No such file or directory
configure:21239: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:
| /* confdefs.h. */
...
...so I presume that anything that relies on pcre will fail with the port, too.
After hours of fruitless Googling, I'm completely stuck. I don't want
to use the port, ignore the error, and have problems later.
Can someone help me out?
With thanks in advance,
boink
