How to install
==============
-Please see the INSTALL file in this directory.
+Please see the INSTALL file in this directory for the generic instructions
+on how to use configure. The following short summary describes the mailutils-
+specific configuration options:
+
+ --enable-debug
+
+ Compile mailutils with debugging support. This disables compiler
+ optimizations and adds debugging information to the binaries.
+
+ --disable-pam
+
+ Do not build PAM support. By default configure will build PAM support
+ if the host system supports it. Use this option to suppress this
+ behaviour.
+
+ --disable-pthread
+
+ Do not build thread-safe libraries.
+
+ --enable-mysql
+
+ Enable support for authentication via MySQL. Note that depending
+ on how your MySQL system is installed, this may require adding
+ appropriate directories to the library and include paths, e.g.:
+
+ ./configure LIBS='-L/usr/local/mysql/lib' \
+ CPPLAGS='-I/usr/local/mysql/include' --enable-mysql
+
+ --enable-virtual-domains
+
+ Enable support for authentication using virtual mail domains.
+ Note that this is also needed if you wish to run testsuites for
+ pop3d and imap4d daemons. The following option controls where
+ exactly the domain database should be located:
+
+ --with-virtual-pwddir=DIR
+
+ Use DIR instead of $sysconfdir/domain as the location of
+ virtual mail domain database.
+
+ --without-readline
+
+ Build 'mail' without readline support.
+
+ --with-gssapi
+
+ Enable GSSAPI authentication. For this to work, you will have
+ to have Kerberos V installed on your system.
+
+ --without-guile
+
+ Do not build guile interface library.
+
+ --with-mail-rc=FILE
+
+ Set the location of the system-wide configuration file for mail
+ utility. FILE must be an absolute filename specification. Default
+ is $sysconfdir/mail.rc
+
+ --with-mail-spool=PATH
+
+ Override the location of the mailspool. The default value depends
+ on the system. Usually it is either /var/spool/mail or /var/mail.
+
+ --with-gdbm
+
+ Use GDBM
+
+ --with-db2
+
+ Use Berkeley DB
+
+ --with-ndbm
+
+ Use NDBM
+
+ --with-dbm
+
+ Use old DBM
+
+ --with-log-facility=facility
+
+ Enable logging to the given syslog facility. Default is `mail'.
+
+ --without-included-regex
+
+ Don't compile regex; this is the default on systems with version
+ 2 of the GNU C library (use with caution on other systems)
+
