Hello,
I am responding to your README request:
* Hypermail now uses "configure" to generate the Makefiles. In the
top level directory, type "configure" to create the Makefiles.
If it does not work on your system, please let me know.
1. "./configure" couldn't find gdbm.h
2. build of GDBM tried to create "lib".0.0.2
finally did "make -n" and ran cmds on cmdline
3. still, the "hypermail" build bombed:
--- Building static library: libpcre
rm -f libpcre.a
ar cq libpcre.a maketables.o get.o study.o pcre.o
ranlib libpcre.a
gcc -c -g -O2 -I/include -Ipcre base64.c
gcc -c -g -O2 -I/include -Ipcre date.c
gcc -c -g -O2 -I/include -Ipcre domains.c
gcc -c -g -O2 -I/include -Ipcre file.c
gcc -c -g -O2 -I/include -Ipcre hypermail.c

gcc -c -g -O2 -I/include -Ipcre lock.c
gcc -c -g -O2 -I/include -Ipcre mem.c
gcc -c -g -O2 -I/include -Ipcre parse.c
parse.c:33: gdbm.h: No such file or directory
gmake[1]: *** [parse.o] Error 1
gmake: *** [hypermail] Error 2
This may be a local problem, because /usr/local is NFS-mounted and
we NFS-clients cannot write into that directory. So I changed the
Makefile to use "/opt/local" -- it worked once, but not when building
libpcre.
The messiest problem was #2 -- the libtool script did very strange things.
Hope this feedback is useful to you. Thanks for the most excellent
email-discussion-list tool.
