Location of sendmail source |
Build macro |
All the auxiliary programs that are supplied with
sendmail (such as
mail.local and praliases)
need pieces of source from the sendmail source
directory to compile. The location of that directory defaults to
../../sendmail. Should
you need to relocate that source tree (as you might, for example, if
you wished to do extensive source modification in a new directory)
you can redefine the source location with this
confSRCDIR macro:
define(`confSRCDIR', `../../newsendmail') Note that confSRCDIR gives a value to the SRCDIR=
Makefile directive, and that
make is run inside an
obj... directory, hence the
../../ prefixing newsendmail.
Should you need to relocate the sendmail source
to a totally different disk or machine, you must define
confSRCDIR as a full pathname:
define(`confSRCDIR', `/usr/local/devel/sendmail/custome1.5/src') Be careful never to define confSRCDIR under a
temporary mount point, such as tmp_mnt, because
that mount point might not exist the next time you try to
Build. And note that SRCDIR= is always the
current directory for sendmail, so nothing
special needs to be done to Build if you move
the source.
