build instructions for your operating system. To build nmh, you will
need an ANSI C compiler such as gcc.
-1) Run the command
+1) From the top-level source directory, run the command
- sh configure [options]
+ ./configure [options]
This will check the configuration of your OS, and create the
include file config.h, as well as the various Makefiles.
most interest are listed in a section below. To see the list
of all available options, you can run
- sh configure --help
+ ./configure --help

---enable-masquerade[='draft_from[ mmailid[ username_extension]]']
+--enable-debug
+ Enable debugging support.
+
+--enable-masquerade[='draft_from mmailid username_extension']
If this option is not specified, 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.
- Any subset of "draft_from mmailid username_extension" may be given. As a
- shortcut, simply doing `configure --enable-masquerade' will enable all 3.
+ The above usage shows all three masquerade options being specified, but any
+ subset of the three may be specified. If you do want to enable all three,
+ you can simply use `configure --enable-masquerade' as a shortcut.
See the mh-tailor(5) man page for full documentation of "masquerade:".

- KPOP exclusively (rather than being able to switch between KPOP and normal
