Hello Exim Dev
I've just spent a few hours scratching my head trying to get a new lookup type to compile and failing to do so. This was against Exim version 4.80.1. Finally figured out that, in addition to what the Specification documents in "Chapter 57 - Adding new drivers or lookup types", I also needed to modify the "scripts/lookups-Makefile" script, adding the name tag of my new lookup to the list mentioned therein. I believe this would be necessary for Exim version 4.74 and greater.
Could the documentation be updated to mention this? Should I log a bug or would this message suffice to have it added to the "to-do" list? If someone could point me in the right direction I'd be happy to contribute this.
I was thinking of something as simple as adding a further point to "Chapter 57" along the lines of:
"8. If creating a new lookup, edit scripts/lookups-Makefile and add mention of the new lookup
by adding its name to the script's name_mod list."
Regards,
Paul
