I did mention Fedora Rawhide: https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Server/x86_64/iso/ ...and pick either the Server or the netinst iso according to your preference. Then you just have to run: dnf install @buildsys-build m4 ...and that will give you the build environment. You will probably also have to install some -devel packages and possibly others, standard stuff for most linux distros. Peter

I'm not aware of any release-distro that ships with all dev deps, or a '1-click' solution. If your 'expectation' is hard, feel free to ignore; if it can bend, the following is straightforward: DL the latest Opensuse Tumbleweed (TW) installation-media .iso here, https://software.opensuse.org/distributions/tumbleweed or, directly (atm, most recent snapshot ...) https://provo-mirror.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/iso/openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-Snapshot20190307-Media.iso 'Boot' to installer & graphically-install OpenSUSE TW to VM of choice (VirtualBox6 works nicely) (docs: https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/startup/single-html/book.opensuse.startup/index.html) Once booted, @ shell (1) zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard Kernel_stable (2) zypper in kernel-default kernel-default-devel kernel-source-devel (3) zypper in -d postfix (these steps _can_ be effectively done from within the installer UI; your choice) If you need a 'zypper' cheat-sheet, https://en.opensuse.org/images/1/17/Zypper-cheat-sheet-1.pdf note: TW will imminently upgrade to kernel v5, as soon as it passes openQA (https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/681405). At that point, step (1) will no longer be necessary Reboot VM. That should do it (assuming the postfix package spec's requirements are complete).

* Wietse Venema: > Which distro ships with Linux 5.x kernels? I use Gentoo Linux with a 5.0.0 kernel and the mail-mta/postfix-3.4.0 ebuild on several servers. If you want to try it, you'd need to use the ~amd64 (un-stable) keyword for sys-kernel/gentoo-sources and the aforementioned mail-mta/postfix. -Ralph P.S.: Once again my submission was rejected because I used the adjective un-stable without the dash. Apparently the regex used is functionally equivalent to /[u][n][s]/, which is a pain in the bum.

Gentoo has kernel 5.0.0 available as of a couple of days ago, and very minimal installs are possible.

fwiw, a simple cleanup,
perl -pi -e 's|(Linux\.\[)34(\])|${1}345${2}|g' makedefs
perl -pi -e 's|(defined\(LINUX4\))|${1} \|\| defined(LINUX5)|g'
src/util/sys_defs.h
at least gets to a successful build
dunno if there's other issues w/ linux5. yet.
