Did you do it on a Sparc2 though? I've had nothing but trouble
trying to get things (especially mail agents) to compile well
in NetBSD without hacking the code up first. Qmail didn't like me,
Smail I had to majorly hack and now I have to hack the install sh
script for it, and I'm now in the process of hacking exim for NetBSD.
*sigh* Next time I'm going to run Linux instead. ;-)
Things I've changed for exim so far:
accept.c
autoreply.c
dbfn.c
structs.h
I'm still in the middle of hacking up accept.c - it doesn't seem to
like supposed undeclared functions like `SPOOL_MODE',
INPUT_DIRECTORY_MODE, HEADER_MAXHEADERS, max, etc.
I hope i don't have to hack any shell scripts, I'm unfortunately
not too familar coding shells or perl.

Thanks, but a friend of mine figure that out and set the $OSTYPE variable.
Will try that in the future though.
