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. jdl
