There are MANY changes between 4.10 and 4.12 you should start with a
new, fresh, shiny sourcetree.

For upgrading read README.UPDATING, also read doc/NewStuff for all the
new things in exim-4.12.

For updating the binaries, just copy the old Local/Makefile from
exim-4.10 to Local/Makefile in the new exim-4.12 tree and do

make
make install
kill -HUP exim-daemon-pid

and enjoy your new shiny exim ;)
