That would be ./configure, or its moral equivalent, methinks (as I hazily remember sendmail did not - at some point - use autoconf) alf

And there is no "moral equivalent" AFAICT. But maybe the OP can explain what he meant? Maybe editing devtools/Site/*.m4? Maybe adding APPENDDEF(`confENVDEF', `-UNEEDSGETIPNODE') would have solved the problem?

Well, you asked me what I did to fix the problem on my system, and I told you: I effectively removed the stub from the milter library source, as the real routine is provided by libbind 6.0 on my system. I reported this so you can program in a solution for the generic case that tests to see if the routine is available and thus using conditional compilation skip the stub. Maybe sendmail should be converted to use "autoconf" like most other packages do. |
