I have installed both postfix and mailx as per the book and I still have the
same error compiling atd. It reports
" No mail command specified'
I did a userdel -f -r (the user was created before mailx was installed ) then
readded the user with a new directory/shell etal. But it made no differene
atd-3.1.13 refuses to budge.
I look through configure --help for atd to see if there was an envar I could
find to set $MAILcommand or some such but there is not one.
So I had a look at the sources
######### excerpt from atd.c
####------------------line 506
#if defined(SENDMAIL)
execl(SENDMAIL, "sendmail", "-i", mailname, (char *) NULL);
#else
#error "No mail command specified."
#endif
perr("Exec failed for mail command");
#####-------------------line 511
... And so if you do this
export SENDMAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail
prior to running configire
it compiles
( perhaps you could add this to the blfs book )
