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
If you wish to add options that are only used at compile time instead of
link time, you can use the CPPFLAGS variable:
+
./configure CPPFLAGS='-Wextra -Wno-sign-compare'
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
+without putting them in the configuration, you can use the AM_CFLAGS
+Makefile macro:
-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
-
-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

--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.
