To get Courier v0.73, you must build from source. You also have to build from source and install into '/usr/local with make install DESTDIR=/usr/local', else, the Courier build system will install files in '/usr/lib' and files from your current install of Courier will be corrupted, and some files will be outside of package manager control. The build system seems to not obey the --prefix option to configure (sh), but it does for DESTDIR (generated Makefiles). Experiences from building Courier v0.73 from source is this: o Have to build and install Courier Authlib first, says the documentation o You also will need to build dependent libraries from source -- libopenssl or even libgnutls, etc. and install them into /usr/local. The libs in Debian 6 and 7 are too old and the Courier v0.73 build system will complain. So you must install from source the latest or compatible versions. I got some compile errors from API changes in some of the libs that Courier v0.73 needs -- I had the old ones on my system. Sam V (main Courier dev) is on some Red Hat based system, and has the latest stable, and builds for the latest stable libs. And there is nothing wrong with that. o Build system does not appear to respect the --prefix option. So to get the files installed with the proper paths, you need to do 'make install DESTDIR=/usr/local' rather than just the plain old 'make install'. And of course, you still will need to run 'make install-configure' regardless. o I remember I had to pass CFLAGS to the configure script like so: './configure CFLAGS=/usr/local/include/libname-dir' and have to export env var for COURIERAUTHCONFIG, as the build system needs it. Sounds tedious, but I can have it built and running in about 30 mins. The first time is the hardest.
