 It is a long time that I looked at hypermail the last time, but I think
 I can remember it
 a) relies on the Mbox-Header line, so you have to use
 |preline /usr/local/bin/hypermail -i -u -c /home/web/.hmrc.sch101
 b) it was(?) SLOW. Depending on the size of your archive it could take up to
15 minutes (maybe even more) until the message was inserted.
 
Yes. That did the trick. It works now. It was pretty fast but I was
testing in an archive with only two messages. Thanks for the help.

Cheers, Brian.

Compile error with AIX 3.2.5

1999-07-13 Thread Brian Salter-Duke 

I have just tried to compile qmail on AIX 3.2.5 and it failed. I
searched the archives and found some one who had the identical
error. There was a reply that suggested a fix and then a reply
from Bruno Wolff III on 26 August 1998 that suggested this 
would not work. Here is that reply that contains the original
error and the first suggestion:-
---

This solution won't work. fchdir is being used because it is an efficient
way to reset the cwd after it has been changed. I think it may have also
been done to simplify indicating where to install stuff (by cd'ing
to the install directory rather than building full filename paths).

What I did for install for rblstmpd and qmail-1.03, was create a static
buffer of size PATHNAMELEN+1 (defined in sys/param.h) and used getwd
to get the name of the cwd and then used chdir to the saved name to
return to it.

 .fchdir
 The OS is AIX 3.2.5

AIX 3.2.5 doesn't have fchdir(2).

Try replacing

 if (fchdir(fdsourcedir) == -1)

with
  if (chdir(".") == -1)

---

I have two questions:-

Is Bruno correct that the simple line change just above does not work?

If so, how do his suggestions translate into changes in the code?

Cheers, Brian.
