FW: [Exim] Compiling Problems with Exim

I have made a change to your makefile and placed a comment above it!

the comment is:

# HERE IS WHERE I HAVE MADE THE CHANGE TO YOUR Makefile

you may get another problem, but if not don't worry but if so get in touch
again!

thanks

Kamesh

ps, if you don't mind, it would seem that you are at the same stages of the
install as I am, can we help each other on this?

Thanks again

Kamesh

Subject: [Exim] Compiling Problems with Exim


Hello List,

I have some Problems with Exim. I have an LFS System and want to compile
Exim. I download me the newest Exim version 3.31 unpack them, copy src
EDTIME to Local/Makefile. Then I copy exim-monitor/EDTIME to
Local/eximon.conf. When I type in make Exim gives the following error
Message

make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/e/exim-3.31/build-Linux-i386/pcre'
gcc -c -O    -I. spool_in.c
In file included from exim.h:332,
                 from spool_in.c:11:
dbfn.h:108: db.h: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [spool_in.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/e/exim-3.31/build-Linux-i386'
make: *** [go] Error 2

What I should do now? Where ist db.h?

I hope someone can help me. I can't live any longer without a
mailserver!

I'm not a menber of the Exim Mailinglist. If someone answer my question
please send me a CC.

Greetings
Dieter

PS: I have send my Local/Makefile as a Attachment with the mail





##################################################

#          The Exim mail transport agent         #
##################################################

# This is the template for Exim's main build-time configuration file. It
# contains settings that are independent of any operating system. It should
# be edited and then saved to a file called Local/Makefile before first running
# the make command.

# Things that depend on the operating system have default settings in
# OS/Makefile-Default, but these are overridden for some OS by files called
# called OS/Makefile-<osname>. You can further override these by creating files
# called Local/Makefile-<osname>, where "<osname>" stands for the name of your
# operating system - look at the names in the OS directory to see which names
# are recognized.

# However, if you are building Exim for a single OS only, you can place all the
# configuration settings in the one file called Local/Makefile; only if you are
# building for several OS from the same source files do you need to worry
# about splitting off the OS-dependent settings into separate files.

# One OS-specific thing is the C compiler; the overall default is gcc, but
# some OS Makefiles specify cc. You can override anything that is set by
# putting CC=whatever in your Local/Makefile.

# NOTE: You should never need to edit any of the distributed Makefiles; all
# overriding can be done in your Local/Makefile(s). This will make it easier
# for you when the next release comes along.

# The location of the X11 libraries is something else that is quite variable
# even between different versions of the same operation system (and indeed
# there are different versions of X11 as well, of course). The four settings
# concerned here are X11, XINCLUDE, XLFLAGS (linking flags) and X11_LD_LIB
# (dynamic run-time library).

# Another area of variability between systems is the type and location of the
# dbm library package. Exim has support for ndbm, gdbm, and Berkeley DB. By
# default it assumes ndbm; this often works with gdbm or DB, provided they
# are correctly installed, via their compatibility interfaces. However, Exim
# can also be configured to use the native calls for Berkeley DB 1.85 or
# Berkeley DB version 2.x, and this is defaulted for some operating systems.
# The defaults are set in OS/Makefile-Default, and can be changed by putting
# things into an OS-specific Makefile, or indeed into the main Local/Makefile
# if Exim is being compiled for a single OS only.

# See also the file doc/dbm.discuss.txt for discussion about different dbm
# libraries.

# In Local/Makefiles blank lines and lines starting with # are ignored. It is
# also permitted to use the # character to add a comment to a setting, for
# example
#
# EXIM_GID=42 # the "mail" group
#
# However, with some versions of "make" this works only if there is no white
# space between the end of the setting and the #, so it is probably best
# avoided. However, a consequence of this facility is that it is not possible
# to have the # character present in any setting, but I can't think of any
# cases where this would be wanted.
###############################################################################

# /bin/sh is normally used as the shell in which to run commands that are
# defined in the makefiles. This can be changed if necessary, but note that
# a Bourne-compatible shell is expected.

# MAKE_SHELL=/bin/sh


# The following commands live in different places in some OS. The OS-specific
# files should normally point to the right place, but they can be overridden
# here if necessary. Perl is not necessary for running Exim unless you set
# EXIM_PERL (see below) to get it embedded, but there are some Perl utilities
# for processing log files. If you haven't got Perl, Exim will still build and
# run; you just won't be able to run those utilities.

# CHOWN_COMMAND=/usr/bin/chown
# CHGRP_COMMAND=/usr/bin/chgrp
# MV_COMMAND=/bin/mv
# RM_COMMAND=/bin/rm
# PERL_COMMAND=/usr/bin/perl


# The following macro can be used to change the command for building a library
# of functions. By default the "ar" command is used, with options "cq".

# AR=ar cq


# Exim has some support for the AUTH extension of SMTP (RFC 2554). If you want
# to use this you must uncomment at least one of the following macros so that
# appropriate code is included in the binary. You then need to set up the
# runtime configuration to make use of the mechanism(s) selected.

# AUTH_CRAM_MD5=yes
# AUTH_PLAINTEXT=yes


# The binary directory: This variable defines where the exim binary will be
# installed by "make install" or "exim_install". It is also used internally
# by exim when it needs to re-invoke itself, either to send an error message,
# or to recover root privilege. Exim's utility binaries and scripts are also
# installed in this directory. There is no default for this variable built into
# the source files; it must be set in one of the local configuration files.

BIN_DIRECTORY=/usr/bin


# The default distribution of Exim contains only the plain text form of the
# documentation. Other forms are available separately. If you want to install
# the documentation in "info" format, first fetch the Texinfo documentation
# sources from the ftp directory and unpack them, which should create files
# with the extension "texinfo" in the doc directory. Then set INFO_DIRECTORY to
# your info directory; "make install" will then build the info files and
# install them there.

# INFO_DIRECTORY=/usr/local/info


# The compress command is used by the exicyclog script to compress old log
# files. Both the name of the command and the suffix that it adds to files
# need to be defined here. See also the EXICYCLOG_MAX configuration.

COMPRESS_COMMAND=/bin/gzip
COMPRESS_SUFFIX=gz


# If the exigrep utility is fed compressed log files, it tries to uncompress
# them using this command.

ZCAT_COMMAND=/bin/zcat


# The runtime configuration file: This variable defines where Exim's runtime
# configuration file is. There is no default built into the source files, so
# there must be a setting in one of the local configuration files. The
# location of all other runtime files and directories can be changed in the
# runtime configuration file.

CONFIGURE_FILE=/etc/exim.conf


# In some installations there may be multiple machines sharing file systems,
# where a different configuration file is required for Exim on the different
# machines. If CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_NODE is defined, then Exim will first look
# for a configuration file whose name is that defined by CONFIGURE_FILE,
# with the node name obtained by uname() tacked on the end, separated by a
# period (for example, /usr/exim/configure.host.in.some.domain. If this file
# does not exist, then the bare configuration file name is tried.

# CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_NODE=yes


# In some esoteric configurations two different versions of Exim are run,
# with different setuid values, and different configuration files are required
# to handle the different cases. If CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_EUID is defined, then
# Exim will first look for a configuration file whose name is that defined
# by CONFIGURE_FILE, with the effective uid tacked on the end, separated by
# a period (for eximple, /usr/exim/configure.0). If this file does not exist,
# then the bare configuration file name is tried. In the case when both
# CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_EUID and CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_NODE are set, four files
# are tried: <name>.<euid>.<node>, <name>.<node>, <name>.<euid>, and <name>.

# CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_EUID=yes


# The size of the delivery buffer: This specifies the size of buffer which is
# used when copying a message from the spool to a destination. The default
# value built into the source is 8192.

# DELIVER_BUFFER_SIZE=8192


# Included directors: These variables determine which individual director
# drivers are included in the Exim binary. There are no defaults; those that
# are wanted must be defined here by setting the appropriate variables to the
# value "yes". The actions of each director are described in a separate chapter
# in the manual. Including a director in the binary does not cause it to
# be used automatically. It has also to be specified in the runtime
# configuration file.

DIRECTOR_ALIASFILE=yes
DIRECTOR_FORWARDFILE=yes
DIRECTOR_LOCALUSER=yes
DIRECTOR_SMARTUSER=yes


# The mode of the database directory: Exim creates a directory called "db"
# in its spool directory, to hold its databases of hints. This variable
# determines the mode of the created directory. The default value in the
# source is 0750.

# DB_DIRECTORY_MODE=0750


# HERE IS WHERE I HAVE MADE THE CHANGE TO YOUR Makefile

USE_DB=yes
INCLUDE=-I/usr/include/db
DBMLIB=/usr/lib/libdb2.a


# Database file mode: The mode of files created in the "db" directory defaults
# to 0640 in the source, and can be changed here.

# DB_MODE=0640


# Database lock file mode: The mode of zero-length files created in the "db"
# directory to use for locking purposes defaults to 0640 in the source, and
# can be changed here.

# DB_LOCKFILE_MODE=0640


# Cycling log files: this variable specifies the maximum number of old
# log files that are kept by the exicyclog log-cycling script.

EXICYCLOG_MAX=10


# Running Exim without it being root all the time: A uid and gid for Exim can
# be specified here, and this is strongly recommended. These values are
# compiled into the binary. It is possible to change them by settings in the
# runtime configuration file, but setting them here is preferred. If EXIM_UID
# is not defined, the default in the code is to run as root (unless specified
# otherwise at run time) except when doing local deliveries, when it always
# runs as the appropriate local user. Specifying 0 at run time has the effect
# of unsetting the values build into the binary.

# Setting EXIM_GID without setting EXIM_UID has no effect.

# The settings here must be numeric; the run time file allows names to
# be used. When this uid and gid are set, the Exim binary still has to be
# setuid root if local deliveries are to be performed or a listener on port
# 25 is to be run, but it gives up its privilege when possible. There is a
# trade-off between security and efficiency, controlled by the runtime
# "security" setting, which controls how privilege is released (setuid vs
# seteuid).

# EXIM_UID=
# EXIM_GID=


# Compiling the Exim monitor: If you want to compile the Exim monitor,
# a program that requires an X11 display, then EXIM_MONITOR should be
# set to the value "eximon.bin". Comment out this setting to disable
# compilation of the binary file that is run by the eximon script. The
# locations of various X11 directories for libraries and include files
# are defaulted in the OS/Makefile-Default file, and can be overridden
# in local OS-specific make files.

EXIM_MONITOR=eximon.bin


# Compiling in support for embedded Perl: If you want to be able to
# use Perl code in Exim's string manipulation language and you have Perl
# (version 5.004 or later) installed, set EXIM_PERL to perl.o.

# EXIM_PERL=perl.o


# There are also three options which are used when compiling the Perl interface
# and when linking with Perl. The default values for these are placed
# automatically at the head of the Makefile by the script which builds it.
# However, if you want to override them, you can do so here.

# PERL_CC=
# PERL_CCOPTS=
# PERL_LIBS=


# This parameter sets the maximum length of the header portion of a message
# that Exim is prepared to process. The default setting is one megabyte. There
# is a limit in order to catch rogue mailers that might connect to your SMTP
# port, start off a header line, and then just pump junk at it for ever. The
# message_size_limit option would also catch this, but it may not be set.

# HEADER_MAXSIZE="(1024*1024)"


# The mode of the input directory: The input directory is where messages are
# kept while awaiting delivery. Exim creates it if necessary, using a mode
# which can be defined here (default 0750).

# INPUT_DIRECTORY_MODE=0750


# Exim log directory and files: Exim creates several log files inside a
# single log directory. You can define the directory and the form of the
# log file name here, by setting LOG_FILE_PATH to a path name containing one
# occurrence of %s. This will be replaced by one of the strings "main",
# "panic", or "reject" to form the final file name. For example, some
# installations may want something like this:

# LOG_FILE_PATH=/var/log/exim_%slog

# which results in files with names /var/log/exim_mainlog, etc. The directory
# in which the log files are placed must exist; Exim does not try to create
# it for itself. It is also your responsibility to ensure that Exim is capable
# of writing files using this path name. If you have defined EXIM_UID and
# EXIM_GID above, then that uid and gid must be able to create files in the
# directory you have specified.

# You can also configure Exim to use syslog, instead of or as well as log
# files, by settings such as these

# LOG_FILE_PATH=syslog
# LOG_FILE_PATH=syslog:/var/log/exim_%slog

# Do not include white space in such a setting as it messes up the building
# process.

# You do not have to define the log file path here; an option in the runtime
# configuration file can also set it, and that overrides any setting here.
# However, it is recommended that you set it here if it is a fixed path, so
# that it is available right from the start of Exim's execution. Otherwise,
# errors detected early on, for example errors in the configuration file,
# cannot be logged.

# If you do not set LOG_FILE_PATH here or in the runtime configuration, Exim
# creates a directory called "log" inside its spool directory (see
# SPOOL_DIRECTORY below) and uses that with filenames "mainlog", "paniclog",
# etc. Its mode defaults to 0750 but that can be changed here.

# LOG_DIRECTORY_MODE=0750

# This value is used only when Exim creates the directory for itself.

# The log files themselves are created as required, with a mode that defaults
# to 0640, but which can be changed here.

# LOG_MODE=0640


# Included file and database lookup methods. See the manual chapter entitled
# "File and database lookups" for discussion. DBM and lsearch (linear search)
# are included by default. LOOKUP_DNSDB does *not* refer to general mail
# routing using the DNS. It is for the specialist case of using the DNS as
# a general database facility (not common). For details of cdb files and the
# tools to build them, see http://www.pobox.com/~djb/cdb.html.

LOOKUP_DBM=yes
LOOKUP_LSEARCH=yes

# LOOKUP_CDB=yes
# LOOKUP_DNSDB=yes
# LOOKUP_LDAP=yes
# LOOKUP_MYSQL=yes
# LOOKUP_NIS=yes
# LOOKUP_NISPLUS=yes
# LOOKUP_PGSQL=yes

# Additional libraries and include directories may be required for some
# lookup styles, e.g. LDAP, MYSQL or PGSQL. LOOKUP_LIBS is included only on
# the command for linking Exim itself, not on any auxiliary programs. You
# don't need to set LOOKUP_INCLUDE if the relevant directories are already
# specified in INCLUDE.

# LOOKUP_INCLUDE=-I /usr/local/ldap/include -I /usr/local/mysql/include -I /usr/local/pgsql/include
# LOOKUP_LIBS=-L/usr/local/lib -lldap -llber -lmysqlclient -lpq

# If you have set LDAP=yes, you should set LDAP_LIB_TYPE to indicate which LDAP
# library you have. Unfortunately, though most of their functions are the
# same, there are minor differences. Currently Exim knows about four LDAP
# libraries: the one from the University of Michigan (also known as OpenLDAP 1),
# OpenLDAP 2, the Netscape SDK library, and the library that comes with Solaris
# 7 onwards. Uncomment whichever of these you are using.

# LDAP_LIB_TYPE=UMICHIGAN
# LDAP_LIB_TYPE=OPENLDAP1
# LDAP_LIB_TYPE=OPENLDAP2
# LDAP_LIB_TYPE=NETSCAPE
# LDAP_LIB_TYPE=SOLARIS

# If you don't set any of these, Exim assumes the original University of
# Michigan (OpenLDAP 1) library.


# The TESTDB lookup is for performing tests on the handling of lookup
# results, and is not useful for general running. It should be included
# only when debugging the code of Exim.

# LOOKUP_TESTDB=yes


# Network interfaces: Unless you set the local_interfaces option in the runtime
# configuration file to restrict Exim to certain interfaces only, it will run
# code to find all the interfaces there are on your host. Unfortunately,
# the call to the OS that does this requires a buffer large enough to hold
# data for all the interfaces - it was designed of course in the days when a
# host rarely had more than three or four at most. Nowadays hosts can have
# very many virtual interfaces running on the same hardware. If you have more
# than 250 virtual interfaces, you will need to uncomment this setting and
# increase the value.

# MAXINTERFACES=250


# Per-message logs: While a message is in the process of being delivered,
# comments on its progress are written to a message log, for the benefit of
# human administrators. These logs are held in a directory called "msglog"
# in the spool directory. Its mode defaults to 0750, but can be changed here.
# The message log directory is also used for storing files that are used by
# transports for returning data to a message's sender (see the "return_output"
# option for transports).

# MSGLOG_DIRECTORY_MODE=0750


# Identifying the daemon: When an Exim daemon starts up, it writes its pid to
# a file so that it can easily be identified. The path of the file can be
# specified here. It must contain precisely one occurrence of "%s". When
# a daemon is run on the default SMTP port, this is replaced with the null
# string, but when it is run with some explicit port specified, "%s" is
# replaced with the port number preceded by a dot. If a daemon is run with
# only one of -bd and -q<time>, then that option is added on to the end of
# the file name, allowing sites that run two separate daemons to distinguish
# them. Some installations may want something like this

# PID_FILE_PATH=/var/lock/exim%s.pid

# If PID_FILE_PATH is not defined, Exim writes a file in its spool directory
# (see SPOOL_DIRECTORY below) with the name "exim-daemon.pid" for the standard
# daemon, or "exim-daemon.<port>.pid" for a daemon listening on a non-standard
# port. If you run a daemon that does not have both the -bd and -q options,
# then whichever of the two options it does have is added to the file name,
# whether obtained from PID_FILE_PATH or by default.

# The pid file path does not have to be set here; it can be also be set by an
# option in the runtime configuration file, which takes precedence over any
# setting here.


# Included routers: These variables determine which individual router drivers
# are included in the Exim binary. There are no defaults; those that are
# wanted must be defined here by setting the appropriate variables to the value
# "yes". The actions of each router are described in a separate chapter
# in the manual. Including a router in the binary does not cause it to
# be used automatically. It has also to be specified in the runtime
# configuration file. Those routers that are *not* wanted must not be defined
# here at all - comment them out.

ROUTER_DOMAINLIST=yes
ROUTER_IPLITERAL=yes
ROUTER_LOOKUPHOST=yes
ROUTER_QUERYPROGRAM=yes

# This one is very special-purpose, so is not included by default.

# ROUTER_IPLOOKUP=yes


# The spool directory: This directory is where all the data for messages in
# transit is kept. There is no default in the source, so its location must be
# defined in a local compile-time configuration file, or in the runtime
# configuration. It is recommended (but not mandatory) that you define it here
# if it is a fixed path, especially if you have not defined LOG_FILE_PATH. Log
# files are then written in a sub-directory of the spool directory, and it is
# helpful to have this defined right from the start of execution so that, for
# example, errors in reading the runtime configuration file can be logged.

# Exim creates the spool directory if it does not exist. If a non-root uid and
# gid have been defined for Exim (either in this configuration file, or by the
# runtime configuration options), then this directory and all sub-directories
# and their files will be created with their owners and groups set to Exim's
# uid and gid.

# Many installations will want something like this:
# SPOOL_DIRECTORY=/var/spool/exim

# Others may prefer to keep all Exim things under one directory:
# SPOOL_DIRECTORY=/usr/exim/spool


# If Exim creates the spool directory, it is given this mode, defaulting in the
# source to 0750.

# SPOOL_DIRECTORY_MODE=0750


# The mode of files on the input spool which hold the contents of message can
# be changed here. The default is 0600. If you have defined a uid and gid for
# Exim and want information from the spool to be available to anyone who is a
# member of the Exim group, change the value to 0640. This is particularly
# relevant if you are going to run the Exim monitor.

# SPOOL_MODE=0600


# If STDERR_FILE is defined then the -df command line option causes Exim to
# redirect stderr to the named file. This is useful for catching debugging
# output when starting Exim via inetd.

# STDERR_FILE=


# The appendfile transport can write messages as individual files in a number
# of formats. The code for three specialist formats, maildir, mailstore, and
# MBX, is included only when requested by the following settings:

# SUPPORT_MAILDIR=yes
# SUPPORT_MAILSTORE=yes
# SUPPORT_MBX=yes


# Moving frozen messages: If the following is uncommented, Exim is compiled
# with support for automatically moving frozen messages out of the main spool
# directory, a facility that is found useful by some large installations. A
# runtime option is required to cause the moving actually to occur. Such
# messages become "invisible" to the normal management tools.

# SUPPORT_MOVE_FROZEN_MESSAGES=yes


# Support for PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules), a facility
# which is available in the latest releases of Solaris and in some GNU/Linux
# distributions (see http://ftp.at.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/). The Exim
# support, which is intended for use in conjunction with the SMTP AUTH
# facilities, is included only when requested by the following setting:

# SUPPORT_PAM=yes

# You probably need to add -lpam to EXTRALIBS, and in some releases of
# GNU/Linux -ldl is also needed.


# Exim can be built to support the SMTP STARTTLS command, which implements
# Transport Layer Security using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). To do this, you
# must install the OpenSSL library package. Exim contains no cryptographic
# code of its own. Uncomment the following lines if you want to build Exim
# with TLS support.

# SUPPORT_TLS=yes
# TLS_LIBS=-lssl -lcrypto

# If you are running Exim as a server, note that just building it with TLS
# support is not usually all you need to do. You normally need to set up a
# suitable certificate, and tell Exim about it by means of the tls_certificate
# and tls_privatekey runtime options. You also need to set tls_advertise_hosts
# to specify which hosts TLS support is advertised to. On the other hand,
# if you are running Exim only as a client, building it with TLS support
# is all you need to do.

# Additional libraries and include files are required for OpenSSL. The TLS_LIBS
# setting above assumes that the libraries are installed with all your other
# libraries. If they are in a special directory, you may need something like

# TLS_LIBS=-L/usr/local/openssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto

# TLS_LIBS is included only on the command for linking Exim itself, not on any
# auxiliary programs. If the include files are not in a standard place, you can
# set TLS_INCLUDE to specify where they are:

# TLS_INCLUDE=-I/usr/local/openssl/include/

# You don't need to set TLS_INCLUDE if the relevant directories are already
# specified in INCLUDE.


# Included transports: These variables determine which individual transport
# drivers are included in the Exim binary. There are no defaults; those that
# are wanted must be defined here by setting the appropriate variables to the
# value "yes". The actions of each transport are described in a separate chapter
# in the manual. Including a transport in the binary does not cause it to
# be used automatically. It has also to be specified in the runtime
# configuration file.

TRANSPORT_APPENDFILE=yes
TRANSPORT_AUTOREPLY=yes
TRANSPORT_PIPE=yes
TRANSPORT_SMTP=yes

# This one is special-purpose, and commonly not required, so do not include
# it by default.

# TRANSPORT_LMTP=yes


# TCP wrappers: If you want to use tcpwrappers from within Exim, uncomment
# this setting. See the manual section entitled "Use of tcpwrappers" in the
# chapter on building and installing Exim.

# USE_TCP_WRAPPERS=yes
