(which is correct because there is no build file) And I have tried every other sendmail Make file in the /usr directory tree as well, some of them install libraries, some install includes etc... I would think that there is a way to re-compile the original sendmail application that is on the server so that one could configure it to their specifications but... I have been unsuccessful in finding a way that works. and another thing is that the site.config.m4 that I need to use is normally in sendmail/devtools/Site, ... which is not included in /usr/src/contrib/sendmail for some reason... there may be another place to put it... but... it doesnt say how, and I could find nothing in the freebsd website either... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tony Landells" To: "default013" Cc: Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2001 10:43 PM Subject: Re: re-compiling sendmail > I'm not sure I understand what you think is missing from the sendmail > distribution in /usr/src/contrib. > > Mind you, I haven't tried building just that, but there is a top-level > Makefile which is based on the BSD Make, as is the FreeBSD stuff, so > I would have thought it included all the necessary "localisations" > for FreeBSD during the make process. > > And that Makefile invokes "Build" in each subdirectory which will > incorporate your site.config.m4... > > Does it not just work the way you'd expect? > > Tony > -- > Tony Landells > Senior Network Engineer Ph: +61 3 9677 9319 > Australian Clearing Services Pty Ltd Fax: +61 3 9677 9355 > Level 4, Rialto North Tower > 525 Collins Street > Melbourne VIC 3000 > Australia > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
