Asunto: [exim] Build error (PAM Support)


If all of you are using PAM support you would not notice any build error here.
If it is one at all.

This is on a cygwin platform.

Now Crofy gave me

I can understand really inexperienced and sloppy code to not check variable values.
But, I should hope that exim doesn't include such sloppy code.

The fact is that
     /usr/src/exim/exim-4.66/build-CYGWIN-i386/config.h


gets build with     SUPPORT for PAM defined as "yes"


only by explicity putting in SUPPORT_PAM=no in ..Local/Makefile will
the created config.h will have a "no" for support.

That good so far.

But, even with 
     /usr/src/exim/exim-4.66/build-CYGWIN-i386/config.h


telling the build to not support PAM, it tries to build pam. That should not happen and I consider it a building logic bug. It should be looked into.
