Apparently, Jan Isley scribbled:

To set up MH and compile it here, I had to do two things. First,
modify every blessed makefile in the MH release to modify the targets
that contained an action on the same line as a target separated
by a semicolon. That is, all:
foo:; some-shell-command
Became:
foo:
some-shell-command
Secondly, here's the MH config file that I used.
---------------- .mh-6.8.3/conf/MH ------------------------------
# A FreeBSD 2.0.5 system running SendMail dreamed up by jdl
cc /usr/bin/cc
bin /usr/local/.mh-6.8.3/bin
bboards on
etc /usr/local/.mh-6.8.3/etc
mail /var/mail
mandir /usr/local/.mh-6.8.3/man
manuals standard
mts sendmail/smtp
sprintf int
signal void
options BIND BSD42 BSD43 BSD44 DBMPWD DUMB
options FLOCK FOLDPROT='"0700"'
options MHE MHRC MIME
options MORE='"/usr/bin/more"'
options MSGPROT='"0600"'
options NORUSERPASS NTOHLSWAP
options OVERHEAD POSIX RENAME RPATHS
options SYS5DIR UNISTD VSPRINTF WAITINT ZONEINFO
----------------------------------------------------------------
Not even the slightlest clue if this is "accurate" or correct in
general, but MH is doing the Right Things For Me now...
Oh, I then totally ignored the build and install problems with
the "z" flavored binaries. Not a clue.
Naturlich, YMMV. Hope this helps some.
