Hi Stuart,
Thanks for the reply, unfortunately it did not work for me, but you
provided an excellent hint.
If I apply the same change to Makefile.in in src/auth and reconfigure then
it works for me:

The next problem that I'm having that I see many warnings like this:
libtool: warning: Linking the shared library libdcrypt_openssl_static.la
against the loadable module
libtool: warning: libssl_iostream_openssl.so is not portable!
or
libtool: warning: Linking the shared library lib11_imap_quota_plugin.la
against the loadable module
libtool: warning: lib10_quota_plugin.so is not portable!
and I have no clue, if this is a problem or a concern for me, or that they
can be safely ignored.
Kind regards,
Frank

Hi,
I'm trying to build dovecot-2.4.4 on FreeBSD 14.4 and I get a strange

What I did is download and extract dovecot-2.4.4.tar.gz and then run
./configure without any arguments.
After typing make the build started without any problems until this point:

make[3]: don't know how to make -L/usr/local/lib. Stop
make[3]: stopped making "all" in /home/volf/dovecot-2.4.4/src/auth
*** Error code 1
So, apparently make is confused and thinks that the compiler/linker
commandline option is an item to build.
I'm at loss how to solve this.
I would appreciate it, if somebody could give me a hint how to solve this.
Kind regards,
Frank

Can you run `make V=1` please? Shows what's going on.
it doesn't really help, because this is make trying to build
"-L/usr/local/lib" rather than an error coming from a program
started by make.
With make --debug=basic:

This is because, in this:
auth_libs = ../lib-auth/libauth-crypt.la $(AUTH_LUA_LIBS) \
$(LIBDOVECOT_SQL) $(am__append_4) $(am__append_7) \
$(am__append_8)
am__append_8 includes -L/usr/local/lib as well as library names.
It does build if I do this (and libexec/dovecot/auth is still linked
to the libraries needed for lua)..
