This directory contains tools. Do not attempt to actually build
anything in this directory.
The Build script allows you to specify a site configuration file by using
the -f flag:
Build -f siteconfig.m4
You can put such site configuration files in the Site sub-directory;
see Site/README for details.
While building a site configuration file, you can add to a definition
using the APPENDDEF() and PREPENDDEF() macros. For example:
APPENDDEF(`confINCDIRS', `-I/usr/local/bind/include')
will add -I/usr/local/bind/include to the already existing confINCDIRS.
Note: There must be no trailing spaces after the last quote mark and
before the closing parenthesis. Also you may need to properly quote
m4 reserved words as specified by your vendor's m4 command.
By default, sendmail will search your system for include and library
directories as well as certain libraries (libdb.* for Berkeley DB and
libbind.a or libresolv.* for name resolution). You can turn off this
configuration step by specifying the -S flag with the Build command.
The OS subtree contains definitions for variations on a standard
model for system installation. The M4 variables that can be defined
and their defaults before referencing the appropriate OS definitons
are:
confBEFORE [empty] Files to create before sendmail is
compiled. The methods must be defined
in the Makefile using PUSHDIVERT(3).
confBUILDBIN ../../BuildTools/bin
The location of the build support
binaries, relative to the obj.*
directory.
confCC cc The C compiler to use.
confOPTIMIZE -O Flags passed to CC as ${O}.
confDEPEND_TYPE generic How to build dependencies. This should
be the name of a file in
BuildTools/M4/depend
confEBINDIR /usr/libexec The location for binaries executed
from other binaries, e.g., mail.local
or smrsh.
confENVDEF [empty] -D flags passed to cc.
confHFDIR /usr/share/misc Location of the sendmail help file.
confINCDIRS [empty] -I flags passed to cc.
confINSTALL install The BSD-compatible install program.
Use ${BUILDBIN}/install.sh if none
is available on your system.
confLDOPTS [empty] Linker options passed to ld.
confLIBDIRS [empty] -L flags passed to ld.
confLIBS [varies] -l flags passed to ld.
confLIBSEARCH db bind resolv 44bsd
Search for these libraries for
linking with programs.
confLINKS ${UBINDIR}/newaliases ${UBINDIR}/mailq \
${UBINDIR}/hoststat ${UBINDIR}/purgestat
Names of links to sendmail.
confMANROOT /usr/share/man/cat The root of the man subtree.
confMAN1 confMANROOT 1 The location of man1 files.
confMAN1EXT 1 The extension on files in confMAN1.
confMAN1SRC 0 The source for man pages installed
in confMAN1.
confMAN5 confMANROOT 5 The location of man5 files.
confMAN5EXT 5 The extension on files in confMAN5.
confMAN5SRC 0 The source for man pages installed
in confMAN5.
confMAN8 confMANROOT 8 The location of man8 files.
confMAN8EXT 8 The extension on files in confMAN8.
confMAN8SRC 0 The source for man pages installed
in confMAN8.
confMANDOC -mandoc The macros used to format man pages.
confMANOWN bin The owner of installed man pages.
confMANGRP bin The group of installed man pages.
confMANMODE 444 The mode of installed man pages.
confMAPDEF [varies] The map definitions, e.g.,
-DNDBM -DNEWDB. -DNEWDB is always
added if a libdb.a can be found.
confNO_MAN_INSTALL [undefined] If defined, don't install the man
pages by default.
confMBINDIR /usr/sbin The location of the MTA (sendmail)
binary.
confNROFF groff -Tascii The command to format man pages.
confOBJADD [empty] Objects that should be included in
when linking sendmail and the
associated utilities.
confSBINDIR /usr/sbin The location of root-oriented
commands, such as makemap.
confSBINOWN root The owner for setuid binaries.
confSBINGRP kmem The group for setuid binaries.
confSBINMODE 4555 The mode for setuid binaries.
confSHELL /bin/sh The shell to use inside make.
confSMOBJADD [empty] Objects that should be included in
when linking sendmail.
confSRCDIR ../../src The sendmail source directory
relative to support program obj.*
directories.
confSTDIR /var/log The directory in which to store the
sendmail status file.
confUBINDIR /usr/bin The directory for user-executable
binaries.
confUBINOWN bin The owner for user-executable binaries.
confUBINGRP bin The group for user-executable binaries.
confUBINMODE 555 The mode for user-executable binaries.
