It seems as: - to perform "make distcheck", I must have Makefile. - to have Makefile, I must run ./configure - to have ./configure, I must run ./bootstrap - for ./bootstrap I must have installed git, wget and maybe other toools, bootstrap downloads tons of other files, it seems it ignore '--no-git' option. I've already build some packages before, where there also was no configure, but it was very simple build it, usually it was enough to run autogen, autoconf, autoreconf or so. I'm not programmer and I do not know the details of this project, but build it seems be too hard for normal Linux user. (but maybe it applies only to build from git, I hope build from official releases (where is ./configure present) is easy also) What I want, is prepare (and build for verification of feasibility) package on my Fedora 19/i386 PC, and then compile it on my mailserver (which is Fedora 25/x86_64). Yet it seems to me to be a very distant goal ;) Regards, Franta -- I hope the Fedora will have a better init and no binary logs _______________________________________________ Bug-mailutils mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-mailutils
