Figure 5 shows FollowMeEmail Client Side Software.
Just use the standard GNU technique:
./configure
make
make install
You can provide options to 'configure' to keep it from putting everything in /usr/local if you use another scheme for locally-installed software:
./configure --prefix=/opt/public
make
make install
For a complete list of options to the configure utility, use
./configure --help
Cygwin isn't officially recognized by the version of the GNU Autoconf tool used with the version of Fetchmail we're working with. But with a couple of tweaks, it still works fine:
(1) Copy 'rm.exe' and 'sh.exe' from the Cygnus distribution to the directory '/bin'. You can also tweak the script that are looking for /bin/sh and /bin/rm to use whatever the nasty Cygwin directory is on your system, but we like a tiny little fake /bin better.
(2) Run
./configure --host=Cygwin
Cygwin won't be recognized, but Autoconf still does its job and produces a usable Makefile and config.h file.
(3) Edit the Makefile and add '-DCYGWIN' to the CFLAGS variable.
After you're done it should look like
CFLAGS = -O -DCYGWIN
(4) Just run
make
If you get errors complaining about 'bison.simple', edit the Makefile again and give Bison the '-S' flag with the full pathname where bison.simple is found (i.e. /share beneath the Cygwin hierarchy).
(5) Copy fetchmail to wherever you'd like to keep it.
'make install' doesn't make much sense on NT, at least not yet.
Procmail does some funny things with its makefiles and thus wasn't as easy to make into a single source tree, so we provide separate versions for Solaris and NT.
It's easy:
make
make install
and optionally
su
make install-suid
Also easy. The Procmail script does funny things with 'make', so we provide a script on top of it. Just run
build
and things should turn out right.
We haven't attempted to test all of Procmail's famously robust file-delivery code on NT, since we need only its filtering capabilities. But the filtering properties seem to work just fine, so we'd encourage anyone interested in a full NT Procmail port to jump right on it!
