I can tell, going through the docs, that the issue of DBM libraries has
been a painful one to deal with. Yet, I have a problem that is getting
beyond me...
Exim 1.71
Linux (Caldera OpenLinux, kernel 2.0.29)
gdbm 1.7.3
I am having no luck whatsoever in making this work.
I've tried setting and unsetting USE_GDBM and DB_LOCKS_ITSELF
in my OS/Makefile-Linux file, as well as "DBMLIB = -lgdbm".
Yet I can't get the db file to work mormally.
Here's the output of 'test_dbfn /tmp':
Exim's db functions tester: interface type is ndbm
DBM library: probably GDBM
EXIM_DBFD(dbm,&fd) yields "*(&fd) = dbm_dirfno(dbm)"
dbm_dirfno(dbm) yields "dbm_dirfno(dbm)"
USE_DB is not defined
DBM_PAGFNO_EXISTS is not defined
Test the functions
> open stuff
opened DB file /tmp/db/stuff: flags=42 fd = 3
LOG: 0 MAIN
Failed to get write lock for /tmp/db/stuff: Device or resource busy
Failed to open stuff: No such file or directory
>
[ the filenames 'stuff.dir' and 'stuff.pag', hardlinked to the same 12K
file as the docs said, were ceated. ]
Can anyone who *has* compiled this stuff properly under this environment
give me an idea of what they did?
