Problem is the fact that the latest versions of vpopmail set the
~vpopmail/lib directory as 0711. Change the perms of the directory to
0755 and also the libvpopmail.a file to 0644. _ONLY_ keep this done for
as long as you're compiling courier imap. Once you're done, revert the
old perms.
This was done as a security fix so that only root would have access to
the vpopmail libs (and the compiled in DB passwords contained within),
but since you have to compile with a non-root user, you need to fix the
permissions temporarilly.
I've talked to Ken and this seems to be the best way at the moment...but
that might change.

a gui mail client, or an older mail client that doesn't handle HTML, it
makes it difficult to read.

Subject: problem compiling courier-imap 1.3.10 with vpopmail 5.0pre3
Hello,
I've been trying to compile the latest courier-imap 1.3.10 with vpopmail
5.0pre3 but while compiling I get following error:
./configure command:
courier-imap:
--without-ipv6 \
--without-authdaemon \
--enable-workarounds-for-imap-client-bugs \
--without-authcustom \
--without-authcram \
--without-authuserdb \
--without-authpam \
--without-authshadow \
--without-authpwd \
--without-authldap \
--with-authmysql \
configure goes fine, but when doing make I have following error
error:
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I/usr/include/mysql
-I/home/vpopmail/include -g -O2 -Wall -I.. -I./.. -c modauthvchkpw.c
gcc -I/usr/include/mysql -I/home/vpopmail/include -g -O2 -Wall -I..
-I./.. -o authvchkpw modauthvchkpw.o libauthmod.a libauth.a
../md5/libmd5.a ../sha1/libsha1.a -L/home/vpopmail/lib -lvpopmail
-L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz -lm -lcrypt
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lvpopmail
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [authvchkpw] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/courier-imap-1.3.10/authlib'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
I also had the same error when using vpopmail 4.9.10, when using just
"./configure --with-authmysql"
When adding --without-authvchkpw it compiles without any problems but
then I ofcourse can't authenticate.
Can someone give me help here?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
lao
