Hi all
When trying to build exim 4.97, it fails because the perl modules
File::FcntlLock is missing. That is quite unfortunate, as it introduces
a new dependency.
I got around it by patching exim_id_update.src, commenting out
use File::FcntlLock;
and twice
$fs->l_whence( SEEK_CUR );
After that, exim builds fine, however I'm not sure if this totally
breaks something.
Can somebody tell me if this is ok, or leaves me with a bad exim?
Below is the patch.
Bye
Tim
