Re: [vchkpw] compile "vpopmail" with -fPIC on x86_64

[Marco Prechel]

any idea how to use it then?
if you run a
#./configure --help
it lists this on the bottom:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Some influential environment variables:
  CC          C compiler command
  CFLAGS      C compiler flags
  LDFLAGS     linker flags, e.g. -L<lib dir> if you have libraries in a 
nonstandard directory <lib dir>
  CPPFLAGS    C/C++ preprocessor flags, e.g. -I<include dir> if you 
have headers in a nonstandard directory <include dir>
  CPP         C preprocessor

Use these variables to override the choices made by `configure' or to 
help
it to find libraries and programs with nonstandard names/locations.
-----------------------------------------------------------

so would you not use it within the ./configure "flags" ?   thats what i 
was thinking ... however that was my best guess ....

I'm trying to bring up courier-imap, which requires courier-authlib,

my configure flags are as followed:
for vpopmail:
./configure CFLAGS=-fPIC --enable-roaming-users=y --enable-logging=p
--enable-qmaildir=/var/qmail
for courier-authlib:
./configure CFLAGS=-fPIC --prefix=/usr/local --exec-prefix=/usr/local
--with-authvchkpw --without-authldap --without->authmysql
--disable-root-check --with-ssl
--with-authchangepwdir=/usr/local/libexec/authlib --with-redhat
The way to do this is:
CFLAGS=-fPIC ./configure --enable-roaming-users=y --enable-logging=p
--enable-qmaildir=/var/qmail
CFLAGS is an environment variable, not an argument to configure.
Hope that helps,
