Hy, (from a *NIX newbie) I've been playing a bit around with freebsd! This a thing that happened a few times to me: When I did a "make world" it fails because of the sendmail configuration files! This happened to me when: 1) I simply had sendmail_enable="YES" in rc.conf or 2) when I modified a few sendmail config files, which is the problem/case right NOW!!
The sample below is the output after having modified /etc/make.conf by changing these two lines: SENDMAIL_MC=/etc/mail/test.somewhere.com.mc SENDMAIL_SUBMIT_MC=/etc/mail/test.somewhere.com.submit.mc And creating & customizing: /etc/mail/test.somewhere.com.cf and /etc/mail/test.somewhere.com.submit.cf This is why it "make world" I assume, but why? What do I have to do, so that "make world" succeeds? What to I have to modify? The exact command I used was: make world DESTDIR=/usr/local/jail/ And the output was: (cd /usr/src/etc/sendmail && m4 -D_CF_DIR_=/usr/src/etc/sendmail/../../contrib/sendmail/cf/ /usr/src/etc/sendmail/../../contrib/sendmail/cf/m4/cf.m4 /etc/mail/test.somewhere.com.submit.mc) > /etc/mail/test.somewhere.com.submit.cf chmod 444 /etc/mail/test.somewhere.com.submit.cf make: don't know how to make /etc/mail/foo.cf. Stop *** Error code 2 Stop in /usr/src/etc. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 When I comment the 2 lines in /etc/make.conf it even fails and the output is: (cd /usr/src/etc/sendmail && m4 -D_CF_DIR_=/usr/src/etc/sendmail/../../contrib/sendmail/cf/ /usr/src/etc/sendmail/../../contrib/sendmail/cf/m4/cf.m4 freebsd.mc) > freebsd.cf chmod 444 freebsd.cf make: don't know how to make /etc/mail/foo.cf. Stop *** Error code 2 Stop in /usr/src/etc. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 What is the problem? What happens exactly?
