I'm trying to compile courier-authlib-0.55 on Mandrake 10.1 (with a 2.6 kernel). I have Sleepycat 4.1.25 installed and working (Exim is using it). When I try to compile as follows:
export LDFLAGS="-L /usr/local/db-4.1.25/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I /usr/local/db-4.1.25/include"
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/courier-imap --without-authuserdb --with-authpgsql --with-redhat --with-db=db
I get the "Cannot find either the gdbm or the db library." error. A quick check of the config log shows the following:
configure:20932: checking for db_env_create
configure:20989: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall -I.. -I./.. -I /usr/local/db-4.1.25/include -L /usr/local/db-4.1.25/lib conftest.c >&5
/home/steve/tmp/ccgd0Ejy.o(.text+0x11): In function `main':
/usr/local/src/courier-authlib-0.55/conftest.c:60: undefined reference to `db_env_create'
/home/steve/tmp/ccgd0Ejy.o(.data+0x0):/usr/local/src/courier-authlib-0.55/conftest.c:59: undefined reference to `db_env_create'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Which to my untrained eye would suggest that the flags are being passed in correctly and I have confirmed that libdb.a, libdb.so and db.h are in those paths. So I was about to post this message when I remembered that I had a problem compiling Exim which failed until I passed in the -lpthreads switch in its config. The reason given on the Exim forum is that Mandrake 10.1 is a NPTL based distro and so it needs to be linked against libpthread http://www.exim.org/mail-archives/exim-users/Week-of-Mon-20040329/msg00199.html . So I thought I'd give it a try:
export LDFLAGS="-L /usr/local/db-4.1.25/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I /usr/local/db-4.1.25/include"
export CFLAGS="-lpthread"
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/courier-imap --without-authuserdb --with-authpgsql --with-redhat --with-db=db
It now completes configure without error but fails on make with:
Linking libbdbobj.la
Linking libbdbobjs.la
Compiling testbdb.C
Linking testbdb
/usr/local/db-4.1.25/lib: file not recognized: Is a directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [testbdb] Error 1
Am I on the right lines? I'm not a C guru so any suggestions on where to go from here would be gratefully received.
