Hi, Thanks for the advice. Although convoluted, I had managed to read through some of the documentation and tried to perform the first steps of the install (as you kindly described below).
However, the install failed on the first step of sh Build in the sendmail directory. This is why I was asking for help because of this error I received at sh Build. build: Can't open build: No such file or directory %sh Build Configuration: pfx=, os=FreeBSD, rel=4.4-RELEASE, rbase=4, rroot=4.4-RELEASE, arch=i386, sfx=, variant=optimized Using M4=/usr/bin/m4 Creating /usr/home/rob/sendmail-8.13.0/obj.FreeBSD.4.4-RELEASE.i386/sendmail using /usr/home/rob/sendmail-8.13.0/devtools/OS/FreeBSD sed: 1: "s/ //g ": unterminated substitute pattern sed: 1: "s/ //g ": unterminated substitute pattern ERROR: /usr/bin/m4 failed; You may need a newer version of M4, at least as new as System V or GNU It was also suggested that I build my own ports tree but I don't really have the disk space for that. Is it possible to build a ports tree with just one port perhaps? If so, how do I go about doing that? Thanks again. -----Original Message----- From: Brent Bailey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, July 10, 2004 4:42 PM To: epilogue Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Sendmail upgrade advice hope this helps im going to use 8.12.10 as an example....i think the instructions are referring to this: when you unpack sendmail-8.x.x it makes a dir called sendmail.8.x.x (whatever the version name) cd into that dir. theres a INSTALL file that pretty much says everthign i said here....but oh well...who reads instructions anyway you will also see a dir oddly enough called "sendmail" cd into that ....that is where you run the sh Build then it wants you to go to the cf/cf dir todo so do: cd ../cf/cf ........ _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
