This Makefile has assumptions about the 2064501Seric4.4 file system layout built in. 2157418Seric 2264501SericThere is also a Makefile.dist which is much less clever, but works on 2364501Sericthe old traditional make. You can use this using: 2464501Seric 2557418Seric make -f Makefile.dist 2657418Seric 2764262SericThere are a bunch of other Makefiles for other systems -- these are 2860584Sericthe ones that I use, they have "Berkeley quirks" in them, and I don't 2964262Sericguarantee that they will work unmodified in your environment. However, 3064262Sericthey are all designed for the old make and can be used to help you get 3164262Sericstarted. They have names like "Makefile.HPUX". Many of them include 3264262Seric-I/usr/sww/include/db and -L/usr/sww/lib -- this is Berkeley's 3365000Sericlocation for the new database libraries, described below. You don't 3465000Serichave to remove these definitions if you don't have these directories. 3557943Seric 3664272SericThere is also a shell script (makesendmail) that tries to be clever 3764272Sericabout using object subdirectories. It's pretty straightforward, and 3864272Sericmay help if you share a source tree among different architectures. 3964035Seric 4065000Seric************************************************************************** 4165000Seric** IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE OPTIMIZATION (``-O'') IF YOU ARE RUNNING ** 4265000Seric** GCC 2.4.x or 2.5.x.

When used for alias files they interact in an 6264250Sericattempt to be back compatible. 6364250Seric 6464250SericThe three options are NEWDB (the new Berkeley DB package), NDBM (the 6564250Sericolder DBM implementation -- the very old V7 implementation is no 6664250Sericlonger supported), and NIS (Network Information Services). Used alone 6764376Sericthese just include the support they indicate. [If you are using NEWDB, 6864376Sericget the latest version from FTP.CS.Berkeley.EDU in /ucb/4bsd. DO NOT 6965000Sericuse the version from the Net2 distribution! However, if you are on 7065000SericBSD/386 or 386BSD-based systems, use the one that already exists 7165000Sericon your system. You may need to define OLD_NEWDB to do this.] 7264250Seric 7364250SericIf NEWDB and NDBM are defined (but not NIS), then sendmail will read 7464250SericNDBM format alias files, but the next time a newaliases is run the 7564250Sericformat will be converted to NEWDB; that format will be used forever 7664250Sericmore. This is intended as a transition feature. [Note however that 7764250Sericthe NEWDB library also catches and maps NDBM calls; you will have to 7864250Sericback out this feature to get this to work. See ``Quirks'' section 7964250Sericbelow for details.] 8064250Seric 8164250SericIf all three are defined, sendmail operates as described above, and also 8264250Sericlooks for the file /var/yp/Makefile. If it exists, newaliases will 8364250Sericbuild BOTH the NEWDB and NDBM format alias files. However, it will 8464250Sericonly use the NEWDB file; the NDBM format file is used only by the 8564250SericNIS subsystem. 8664250Seric 8764250SericIf NDBM and NIS are defined (regardless of the definition of NEWDB 8864250Sericor the existance of /var/yp/Makefile), sendmail adds the special 8964250Serictokens "YP_LAST_MODIFIED" and "YP_MASTER_NAME", both of which are 9064250Sericrequired if the NDBM file is to be used as an NIS map. 9164250Seric 9264250SericAll of -DNEWDB, -DNDBM, and -DNIS are normally defined in the DBMDEF 9364250Sericline in the Makefile. 9464250Seric 9564250Seric 9664035Seric+---------------+ 9764035Seric| COMPILE FLAGS | 9864035Seric+---------------+ 9964035Seric 10060565SericWhereever possible, I try to make sendmail pull in the correct 10160584Sericcompilation options needed to compile on various environments based on 10260584Sericautomatically defined symbols. Some machines don't seem to have useful 10360584Sericsymbols availble, requiring the following compilation flags in the 10460584SericMakefile: 10560565Seric 10660565SericSOLARIS Define this if you are running Solaris 2.0 or higher. 10765000SericSOLARIS_2_3 Define this if you are running Solaris 2.3 or higher. 108*65108SericSUNOS403 Define this if you are running SunOS 4.0.3. 10964077SericNeXT Define this if you are on a NeXT box. (This one may 11064072Seric be pre-defined for you.) There are other hacks you 11164072Seric have to make -- see below. 11260565Seric_AIX3 Define this if you are IBM AIX 3.x. 11363965SericRISCOS Define this if you are running RISC/os from MIPS. 11464501Seric_SCO_unix_ Define this if you are on SCO UNIX. 11565095Seric_SCO_unix_4_2 Define this if you are on SCO Open Server 3.2v4. 11660565Seric 11760584SericIf you are a system that sendmail has already been ported to, you 11860584Sericprobably won't have to touch these. But if you are porting, you may 11963962Serichave to tweak the following compilation flags in conf.h in order to 12063962Sericget it to compile and link properly: 12160565Seric 12260565SericSYSTEM5 Adjust for System V. 12364035SericSYS5SIGNALS Use System V signal semantics -- the signal handler 12464035Seric is automatically dropped when the signal is caught. 12564035Seric If this is not set, use POSIX/BSD semantics, where the 12664035Seric signal handler stays in force until an exec or an 12764035Seric explicit delete. Implied by SYSTEM5. 12864706SericSYS5SETPGRP Use System V setpgrp() semantics. Implied by SYSTEM5. 12964035SericHASFLOCK Set this if you prefer to use the flock(2) system call 13064035Seric rather than using fcntl-based locking. Fcntl locking 13164035Seric has some semantic gotchas, but many vendor systems 13264035Seric also interface it to lockd(8) to do NFS-style locking. 13364035Seric For this reason, this should not be set unless you 13464035Seric don't have an alternative. 13560565SericHASUNAME Set if you have the "uname" system call. Implied by 13660565Seric SYSTEM5. 13763962SericHASUNSETENV Define this if your system library has the "unsetenv" 13863962Seric subroutine. 13960584SericHASSTATFS Define this if you have the statfs(2) system call. It's 14060584Seric not a disaster to get this wrong -- but you do lose the 14160584Seric queue free space code. 14260584SericHASUSTAT Define this if you have the ustat(2) system call. It's 14360584Seric not a disaster to get this wrong -- but you do lose the 14460584Seric queue free space code. 14560565SericHASSETSID Define this if you have the setsid(2) system call. This 14660565Seric is implied if your system appears to be POSIX compliant. 14760565SericHASINITGROUPS Define this if you have the initgroups(3) routine. 14863753SericHASSETVBUF Define this if you have the setvbuf(3) library call. 14963753Seric If you don't, setlinebuf will be used instead. This 15063753Seric defaults on if your compiler defines __STDC__. 15163902SericHASSETREUID Define this if you have setreuid(2) ***AND*** root can 15263902Seric use setreuid to change to an arbitrary user. This second 15363902Seric condition is not satisfied on AIX 3.x. You may find that 15463902Seric your system has setresuid(2), (for example, on HP-UX) in 15563902Seric which case you will also have to #define setreuid(r, e) 15663902Seric to be the appropriate call. Some systems (such as Solaris) 15765000Seric have a compatibility routine that doesn't work properly, 15865000Seric but may have "saved user ids" properly implemented so you 15965000Seric can ``#define setreuid(r, e) seteuid(e)'' and have it work. 16063902Seric The important thing is that you have a call that will set 16165000Seric the effective uid independently of the real or saved uid 16265000Seric and be able to set the effective uid back again when done. 16365000Seric There's a test program in ../test/t_setreuid.c that will 16465000Seric try things on your system. Setting this improves the 16565000Seric security, since sendmail doesn't have to read .forward 16665000Seric and :include: files as root. There are certain attacks 16765000Seric that may be unpreventable without this call. 16865000SericHASLSTAT Define this if you have symbolic links (and thus the 16965000Seric lstat(2) system call). This improves security. Unlike 17065000Seric most other options, this one is on by default, so you 17165000Seric need to #undef it in conf.h if you don't have symbolic 17265000Seric links (these days everyone does). 17363937SericGIDSET_T The type of entries in a gidset passed as the second 17463937Seric argument to getgroups(2). Historically this has been an 17563937Seric int, so this is the default, but some systems (such as 17663937Seric IRIX) pass it as a gid_t, which is an unsigned short. 17763937Seric This will make a difference, so it is important to get 17863937Seric this right! However, it is only an issue if you have 17963937Seric group sets. 18063968SericSLEEP_T The type returned by the system sleep() function. 18163968Seric Defaults to "unsigned int". Don't worry about this 18263968Seric if you don't have compilation problems. 18363974SericARBPTR_T The type of an arbitrary pointer -- defaults to "void *". 18463974Seric If you are an very old compiler you may need to define 18563974Seric this to be "char *". 18660584SericLA_TYPE The type of load average your kernel supports. These 18760584Seric can be LA_SUBR (4) if you have the getloadavg(3) routine, 18864376Seric LA_MACH (5) to use MACH-style load averages (calls 18964376Seric processor_set_info()), LA_FLOAT (3) if you read kmem and 19064376Seric interpret the value as a floating point number, LA_INT (2) 19164376Seric to interpret as a long integer, or LA_SHORT (6) to 19264376Seric interpret as a short integer. These last three have 19364376Seric several other parameters that they try to divine: the 19464376Seric name of your kernel, the name of the variable in the 19564376Seric kernel to examine, the number of bits of precision in 19664376Seric a fixed point load average, and so forth. In desparation, 19764376Seric use LA_ZERO (1) -- it always returns the load average as 19864376Seric "zero" (and does so on all architectures). The actual 19964376Seric code is in conf.c -- it can be tweaked if you are brave. 20063962SericERRLIST_PREDEFINED 20163962Seric If set, assumes that some header file defines sys_errlist. 20263962Seric This may be needed if you get type conflicts on this 20363962Seric variable -- otherwise don't worry about it. 20464562SericWAITUNION The wait(2) routine takes a "union wait" argument instead 20564562Seric of an integer argument. This is for compatibility with 20664562Seric old versions of BSD. 20765000SericSCANF You can set this to extend the F command to accept a 20865000Seric scanf string -- this gives you a primitive parser for 20965000Seric class definitions -- BUT it can make you vulnerable to 21065000Seric core dumps if the target file is poorly formed. 21165095SericSYSLOG_BUFSIZE You can define this to be the size of the buffer that 21265095Seric syslog accepts. If it is not defined, it assumes a 21365095Seric 1024-byte buffer. If the buffer is very small (under 21465095Seric 256 bytes) the log message format changes -- each 21565095Seric e-mail message will log many more messages, since it 21665095Seric will log each piece of information as a separate line 21765095Seric in syslog. 21860565Seric 21964035Seric 22064035Seric+-----------------------+ 22164035Seric| COMPILE-TIME FEATURES | 22264035Seric+-----------------------+ 22364035Seric 22460584SericThere are a bunch of features that you can decide to compile in, such 22560584Sericas selecting various database packages and special protocol support. 22660584SericSeveral are assumed based on other compilation flags -- if you want to 22760584Seric"un-assume" something, you probably need to edit conf.h. Compilation 22860584Sericflags that add support for special features include: 22960565Seric 23060565SericNDBM Include support for "new" DBM library for aliases and maps. 23164250Seric Normally defined in the Makefile. 23260565SericNEWDB Include support for Berkeley "db" package (hash & btree) 23364250Seric for aliases and maps. Normally defined in the Makefile. 23460565SericNIS Define this to get NIS (YP) support for aliases and maps. 23564250Seric Normally defined in the Makefile. 23660565SericUSERDB Include support for the User Information Database. Implied 23764250Seric by NEWDB in conf.h. 23865000SericIDENTPROTO Define this as 1 to get IDENT (RFC 1413) protocol support. 23960565Seric This is assumed unless you are running on Ultrix or 24060565Seric HP-UX, both of which have a problem in the UDP 24165000Seric implementation. You can define it to be 0 to explicitly 24265000Seric turn off IDENT protocol support. 24360565SericMIME Include support for MIME-encapsulated error messages. 24460565SericLOG Set this to get syslog(3) support. Defined by default 24560584Seric in conf.h. You want this if at all possible. 24660565SericNETINET Set this to get TCP/IP support. Defined by default 24760584Seric in conf.h. You probably want this. 24860565SericNETISO Define this to get ISO networking support. 24960565SericSMTP Define this to get the SMTP code. Implied by NETINET 25060565Seric or NETISO. 25160565SericNAMED_BIND Define this to get DNS (name daemon) support, including 25260565Seric MX support. The specs you must use this if you run 25360565Seric SMTP. Defined by default in conf.h. 25460565SericQUEUE Define this to get queueing code. Implied by NETINET 25560584Seric or NETISO; required by SMTP. This gives you other good 25660584Seric stuff -- it should be on. 25760565SericDAEMON Define this to get general network support. Implied by 25860584Seric NETINET or NETISO. Defined by default in conf.h. You 25960584Seric almost certainly want it on. 26060565SericMATCHGECOS Permit fuzzy matching of user names against the full 26160565Seric name (GECOS) field in the /etc/passwd file. This should 26260565Seric probably be on, since you can disable it from the config 26360584Seric file if you want to. Defined by default in conf.h. 26460565SericSETPROCTITLE Try to set the string printed by "ps" to something 26560584Seric informative about what sendmail is doing. Defined by 26660584Seric default in conf.h. 26760565Seric 26864035Seric 26965000Seric+---------------------+ 27065000Seric| DNS/RESOLVER ISSUES | 27165000Seric+---------------------+ 27265000Seric 27365000SericMany systems have old versions of the resolver library.

I think "files" has to be before "dns" 36564364Seric in /etc/nsswitch.conf during bootup. 36664364Seric 36764376Seric To the best of my knowledge, Solaris does not have the 36864376Seric gethostbyname problem described above. 36964376Seric 37064385Seric The Solaris "syslog" function is apparently limited to something 37164385Seric about 90 characters because of a kernel limitation. If you have 37265000Seric source code, you can probably up this number. The syslogd patch 37365000Seric is included in kernel jumbo patch for Solaris 2.2 as of revision 37465000Seric -39 or so. At least one person is running with patch 100999-45 37565000Seric and their long lost sendmail logging is finally showing up. 37664385Seric 37764250SericOSF/1 37865000Seric If you are compiling on OSF/1 (DEC Alpha), you must use 37965000Seric -non_shared (otherwise it core dumps on startup). You may also 38065000Seric need -mld to get the nlist() function, although some versions 38165000Seric apparently don't need this. 38265000Seric 38365000Seric Also, the enclosed makefile removed /usr/sbin/smtpd; if you need 38465000Seric it, just create the link to the sendmail binary. 38557977Seric 38664250SericNeXT 38764250Seric If you are compiling on NeXT, you will have to create an empty 38864250Seric file "unistd.h" and create a file "dirent.h" containing: 38963753Seric 39064250Seric #include <sys/dir.h> 39164250Seric #define dirent direct 39264035Seric 39364250Seric (The Makefile.NeXT should try to do both of these for you.) 39464077Seric 39564364Seric Apparently, there is a bug in getservbyname on Nextstep 3.0 39664364Seric that causes it to fail under some circumstances with the 39764364Seric message "SYSERR: service "smtp" unknown" logged. You should 39864364Seric be able to work around this by including the line: 39964364Seric 40064670Seric OOPort=25 40164364Seric 40264364Seric in your .cf file. 40364364Seric 40464376Seric You may have to use -DNeXT. 40564376Seric 40665000SericBSDI (BSD/386) 1.0, NetBSD 0.9, FreeBSD 1.0 40765000Seric The "m4" from BSDI won't handle the config files properly. 40865000Seric I haven't had a chance to test this myself. 40957943Seric 41065000Seric The M4 shipped in FreeBSD and NetBSD 0.9 don't handle the config 41165000Seric files properly. One must use either GNU m4 1.1 or the PD-M4 41265000Seric recently posted in comp.os.386bsd.bugs (and maybe others). 41365000Seric NetBSD-current includes the PD-M4 (as stated in the NetBSD file 41465000Seric CHANGES). 41565000Seric 41665000Seric FreeBSD 1.0 RELEASE has uname(2) now. Use -DUSEUNAME in order to 41765000Seric use it (look into Makefile.FreeBSD). NetBSD-current may have 41865000Seric it too but it has not been verified. 41965000Seric 42065000Seric You cannot port the latest version of the Berkeley db library 42165000Seric and use it with sendmail without recompiling the world. This 42265000Seric is because C library routines use the older version which have 42365000Seric incompatible header files -- the result is that it can't read 42465000Seric other system files, such as /etc/passwd, unless you use the 42565000Seric new db format throughout your system. You should normally just 42665000Seric use the version of db supplied in your release. You may need 42765000Seric to use -DOLD_NEWDB to make this work -- this turns off some 42865000Seric new interface calls (for file locking) that are not in older 42965000Seric versions of db. You'll get compile errors if you need this 43065000Seric flag and don't have it set. 43165000Seric 43264364Seric4.3BSD 43364364Seric If you are running a "virgin" version of 4.3BSD, you'll have 43464364Seric a very old resolver and be missing some header files. The 43564364Seric header files are simple -- create empty versions and everything 43664364Seric will work fine. For the resolver you should really port a new 43764364Seric version (4.8.3 or later) of the resolver; 4.9 is available on 43864364Seric gatekeeper.DEC.COM in pub/BSD/bind/4.9. If you are really 43964364Seric determined to continue to use your old, buggy version (or as 44064364Seric a shortcut to get sendmail working -- I'm sure you have the 44164364Seric best intentions to port a modern version of BIND), you can 44264364Seric copy ../contrib/oldbind.compat.c into src and add 44364364Seric oldbind.compat.o to OBJADD in the Makefile. 44464364Seric 44564501SericLinux 44664501Seric From: Karl London <karl@borg.demon.co.uk> 44764501Seric Subject: Little bit to add to a readme for Linux for 8.6 44864501Seric Date: Fri, 10 Sep 1993 20:16:05 +0100 (BST) 44964501Seric 45064501Seric Below is a copy of a section of the /usr/include/unistd.h from 45164501Seric linux libc-4.4.1 which needs changing because of a bug in the 45264501Seric header files.

Hagberg" <hagberg@med.cornell.edu> 47364718Seric Subject: Fix for A/UX ndbm 47464718Seric 47564718Seric I guess this isn't really a sendmail bug, however, it is something 47664718Seric that A/UX users should be aware of when compiling sendmail 8.6. 47764718Seric 47864718Seric Apparently, the calls that sendmail is using to the ndbm routines 47964718Seric in A/UX 3.0.x contain calls to "broken" routines, in that the 48064718Seric aliases database will break when it gets "just a little big" 48164718Seric (sorry I don't have exact numbers here, but it broke somewhere 48264718Seric around 20-25 aliases for me.), making all aliases non-functional 48364718Seric after exceeding this point. 48464718Seric 48564718Seric What I did was to get the gnu-dbm-1.6 package, compile it, and 48664718Seric then re-compile sendmail with "-lgdbm", "-DNDBM", and using the 48764718Seric ndbm.h header file that comes with the gnu-package. This makes 48864718Seric things behave properly. 48964718Seric 49064718Seric I suppose porting the New Berkeley db package is another route, 49164718Seric however, I made a quick attempt at it, and found it difficult 49264718Seric (not easy at least); the gnu-dbm package "configured" and 49364718Seric compiled easily. 49464718Seric 49564718SericDG/UX 49664718Seric Apparently, /bin/mail doesn't work properly for delivery on 49764718Seric DG/UX -- the person who has this working, Douglas Anderson 49864718Seric <dlander@afterlife.ncsc.mil>, used procmail instead. 49964718Seric 50065095SericDELL SVR4 50165095Seric Date: Mon, 06 Dec 1993 10:42:29 EST 50265095Seric From: "Kimmo Suominen" <kim@grendel.lut.fi> 50365095Seric Message-ID: <2d0352f9.lento29@lento29.UUCP> 50465095Seric To: eric@cs.berkeley.edu 50565095Seric Cc: sendmail@cs.berkeley.edu, "Kimmo Suominen" <kim@grendel.lut.fi> 50665095Seric Subject: Notes for DELL SVR4 50765095Seric 50865095Seric Eric, 50965095Seric 51065095Seric Here are some notes for compiling Sendmail 8.6.4 on DELL SVR4. I ran 51165095Seric across these things when helping out some people who contacted me by 51265095Seric e-mail. 51365095Seric 51465095Seric 1) Use gcc 2.4.5 (or later?). Dell distributes gcc 2.1 with their 51565095Seric Issue 2.2 Unix. It is too old, and gives you problems with 51665095Seric clock.c, because sigset_t won't get defined in <sys/signal.h>. 51765095Seric This is due to a problematic protection rule in there, and is 51865095Seric fixed with gcc 2.4.5. 51965095Seric 52065095Seric 2) If you don't use the new Berkeley DB (-DNEWDB), then you need 52165095Seric to add "-lc -lucb" to the libraries to link with. This is because 52265095Seric the -ldbm distributed by Dell needs the bcopy, bcmp and bzero 52365095Seric functions. It is important that you specify both libraries in 52465095Seric the given order to be sure you only get the BSTRING functions 52565095Seric from the UCB library (and not the signal routines etc.). 52665095Seric 52765095Seric 3) Don't leave out "-lelf" even if compiling with "-lc -lucb". 52865095Seric The UCB library also has another copy of the nlist routines, 52965095Seric but we do want the ones from "-lelf". 53065095Seric 53165095Seric If anyone needs a compiled gcc 2.4.5 and/or a ported DB library, they 53265095Seric can use anonymous ftp to fetch them from lut.fi in the /kim directory. 53365095Seric They are copies of what I use on grendel.lut.fi, and offering them 53465095Seric does not imply that I would also support them. I have sent the DB 53565095Seric port for SVR4 back to Keith Bostic for inclusion in the official 53665095Seric distribution, but I haven't heard anything from him as of today. 53765095Seric 53865095Seric - gcc-2.4.5-svr4.tar.gz (gcc 2.4.5 and the corresponding libg++) 53965095Seric - db-1.72.tar.gz (with source, objects and a installed copy) 54065095Seric 54165095Seric Cheers 54265095Seric + Kim 54365095Seric -- 54465095Seric * Kimmo.Suominen@lut.fi * SysVr4 enthusiast at GRENDEL.LUT.FI * 54565095Seric * KIM@FINFILES.BITNET * Postmaster and Hostmaster at LUT.FI * 54665095Seric * + 358 200 865 718 * Unix area moderator at NIC.FUNET.FI * 54765095Seric 54865095Seric 54964718SericNon-DNS based sites 55064718Seric This version of sendmail always tries to connect to the Domain 55164718Seric Name System (DNS) to resolve names, regardless of the setting 55264718Seric of the `I' option. On most systems that are not running DNS, 55364718Seric this will fail quickly and sendmail will continue, but on some 55464718Seric systems it has a long timeout. If you have this problem, you 55564718Seric will have to recompile without NAMED_BIND. Some people have 55664718Seric claimed that they have successfully used "OI+USEVC" to force 55764718Seric sendmail to use a virtual circuit -- this will always time out 55864718Seric quickly, but also tells sendmail that a failed connection 55964718Seric should requeue the message (probably not what you intended). 56064718Seric A future release of sendmail will correct this problem. 56164718Seric 56264250SericBoth NEWDB and NDBM 56364250Seric If you use both -DNDBM and -DNEWDB, you must delete the module 56464250Seric ndbm.o from libdb.a and delete the file "ndbm.h" from the files 56564250Seric that get installed (that is, use the OLD ndbm.h, not the new 56664250Seric ndbm.h). This compatibility module maps ndbm calls into DB 56764250Seric calls, and breaks things rather badly. 56858709Seric 56964559SericGNU getopt 57064559Seric I'm told that GNU getopt has a problem in that it gets confused 57164559Seric by the double call. Use the version in conf.c instead. 57264250Seric 57364559Seric 57464820Seric+--------------+ 57564820Seric| MANUAL PAGES | 57664820Seric+--------------+ 57764820Seric 57864820SericThe manual pages have been written against the -mandoc macros 57964820Sericinstead of the -man macros.
