Compiling Sendmail 8.14.3 with NEWDB on Solaris 10
 

Dear All,

I have compiled Sendmail 8.14.3 successfully on solaris 10. When i tried to re-compile to add NEWDB feature using the following portion of site.config.m4 file:

APPENDDEF(`confINCDIRS', `-I/usr/include')dnl
APPENDDEF(`confLIBDIRS',`-L/usr/lib/bdb')dnl
APPENDDEF(`confENVDEF', `-DNEWDB')dnl

THEN
./Build clean
crle -u -l /usr/lib/bdb ;
./Build -c

i get many sybtax errors:

ANY suggestions

Thank You

This would be better posted in the Solaris forum, rather than Linux newbie. Where did you get the sendmail source? There are Solaris specific source packages out there, my first suggestion would be to download one of them, and build from there. Check www.sunfreeware.com.

Dear TB0ne,

it is only after posting on Linux that I did relise that i should post on Solaris Forum and I did after that..

anyway, i downloaded sendmail from sendmail.org and i did download few libraries and gcc from sunfreeware site already including:

openssl-0.9.8k,
libiconv,
libintl,
libxml2,
zlib,
gcc-3.4.6

are there any more dependecies?

thanks

Youssif

Don't know...is it ASKING you for any more dependencies?? You can also get the sendmail package/source from sunfreeware too, which is why I suggested it in my first response.

Dear All,,

i got it..

all i needed was Berkeley 4.7 database from www.oracle.com.. Actually i didn;t think i would need it earlier cause Sendmail 8.13.8 was already built on solaris 10 with NEWDB feature;..

before instaling the database, I had to make a link of cc to gcc..

and before recompilation of sendmail 8.14.3 with NEWDB, i had to take a copy of libdb-4.7.so to /usr/lib/

regards

Youssif
