3) make
-4) make test
+4) make check
- This takes a bit of time (under 2 minutes on a modern machine) but
- is highly recommended. "make test" copies your configuration and
- rebuilds nmh completely in a sandbox, so you can test without
- disturbing an existing nmh installation or any of your nmh folders.

5) make install
rather than hardcoding pophost in `mts.conf'.
Check the `mh-tailor' man page for a list of all the available options
- for this file ("masquerade" may be of particular interest, though its
- default value allows the most flexibility. See the discussion of the
- --enable-masquerade configure option below).
+ for this file.
7) Edit the file `mhn.defaults' (installed in the nmh `etc' directory).
This file contains the default profile entries for the nmh command
By default, configure will use the "gcc" compiler if found. You can
use a different compiler, or add unusual options for compiling or
linking that the "configure" script does not know about, by giving
-"configure" initial values for these in its environment. Using a
-Bourne-compatible shell, such as sh, ksh, zsh, or bash, you can do
-that on the command line like this:
- CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix ./configure
+"configure" initial values for these on its command line or in its
+environment. For example,
-Or on systems that have the "env" program, you can do it like this:
- env CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-s ./configure
+ ./configure CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix
-If you want to add to, not replace, compile flags, you can use OURDEFS
-with env or like this:
- OURDEFS='-Wextra -Wno-sign-compare' ./configure
+If you wish to add options that are only used at compile time instead of
+link time, you can use the CPPFLAGS variable:
-If you want to add to both compile and link flags at build time
-without putting them in the configuration, you can use an otherwise
-unused Makefile macro, like this:
- make AM_CFLAGS=--coverage
+ ./configure CPPFLAGS='-Wextra -Wno-sign-compare'
-That does not include that setting in the configuration, so you will
-have to repeat it if you re-run "make". One example would be if you
-build the test suite as a separate step:
- make test AM_CFLAGS=--coverage
+If you want to add to both compile and link flags at build time
+without putting them in the configuration, you can use the AM_CFLAGS
+Makefile macro:
-Though note that the Makefile test target depends on the default
-target, so both be can built in one step with "make test".
+ make AM_CFLAGS=--coverage
----------------------------------------
Building nmh on additional architectures
source code in the directory that "configure" is in. For example,
cd /usr/local/solaris/nmh
- /usr/local/src/nmh-1.0/configure
+ /usr/local/src/nmh-1.5/configure
make
---------------------
--enable-debug
Enable debugging support.
---enable-masquerade[='draft_from mmailid username_extension']
- By default, all three masquerade options are enabled.
-
- If this option is disabled, the mts.conf file will contain the
- line "masquerade: " (with no value), which may be manually edited
- later. You may find it convenient to specify a value at
- configure-time, however, so that each time nmh is reinstalled,
- the right value will be there.
-
- See the mh-tailor(5) man page for full documentation of "masquerade:".
-
- This option will likely be removed in a future version of nmh.
-
--enable-pop
Enable client-side support for pop.
