Vmailmgr won't compile problem with RedHat V.8
8/19/2003
Finally got vmailmgr to compile:
vmailmgr http://www.vmailmgr.org/
a virtual mail manager. One domain, many virtual users for POP3 delivery.
The problem arises, not from any errors in the program, but from the different compiler/version used. The problem is really the configure program that is not aware of the new compiler and re-location of libraries. You have to figure the author re-compiled the program several times a day while working on it. Upgraded the compiler to gcc-3.3.1 - probably don't have to if using RedHat 8 or higher.
Run ./configure in the source directory. Don't ever run ./configure again - you can delete it - it will over write the following changes:
Apply the below patch by copying the whole vmailmgr-0.96.9 source (located in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES) directory to vmailmgr-0.96.9.orig and from the /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES run the following gcc-3.2 or greater patch (vmailmgr-gcc.patch copied to the SOURCES directory). You can do it manually, as well.

After the patch, you need to change the reference in every Makefile.in (located in every directory & first subdirectory) of :
CC= @CC@
to
CC= "g++"
Still getting another error with the /doc directory Makefile, so not needing the documents, renamed /doc to /doco and copied the /cgi to /doc - ergo /cgi acts acts as a dummy /doc - compiler is happy.
That is it.
Why re-compile? That is our Business : )
