Run Configure

Run configure (GNU autoconf) and make.

% su root
# groupadd fml
# useradd -g fml -m fml
# ./configure
# make install

where configure replaces variables in scripts and .cf files.

After runnig configure, run "make install". The fml installer (perl scripts) reads ./etc/fml/install.cf configure created and install fml8 to e.g. /usr/local/.

You can specify the user name and fundamental directory names by configure arguments. Customizable variables are follows: configure --help shows them.

variables       default value               example
--------------------------------------------------------
prefix          /usr/local                  /usr/local
exec_prefix     /usr/local
bindir          ${exec_prefix}/bin          /usr/local/bin
sbindir         ${exec_prefix}/sbin         /usr/local/sbin
libexecdir      ${exec_prefix}/libexec      /usr/local/libexec/fml
datadir         ${prefix}/share             /usr/local/share/fml
sysconfdir      ${prefix}/etc               /usr/local/etc/fml

includedir      ${prefix}/include
oldincludedir   /usr/include
infodir         ${prefix}/info
mandir          ${prefix}/man

You can overwrite the following variables by configure arguments.

fmlconfdir      $sysconfidr/fml             /usr/local/etc/fml        
mlspooldir      /var/spool/ml               /var/spool/ml
fml_owner       fml                         fml
fml_group       fml                         fml
default_domain  (spaculated by configure)   (spaculated by configure)

These options are shown by runnig

configure --help

  --without-warning       run perl as perl without -w
  --with-fmlconfdir=DIR   use DIR instead of SYSCONFDIR/fml
  --with-mlspooldir=DIR   use DIR instead of /var/spool/ml
  --with-fml-owner=USER   use USER instead of fml
  --with-fml-group=GROUP  use GROUP instead of fml
  --with-default-domain=DOMAIN  use DOMAIN as the ML domain

Example: Running Configure

Example: On NetBSD, you should install 3rd party programs into /usr/pkg.

% ./configure --prefix=/usr/pkg

Example: On FreeBSD, use /usr/local.

% ./configure

If you use /etc/fml as configuration directory on e.g. Debian,

# ./configure --with-fmlconfdir=/etc/fml

fml has been configure with the following options:

                 prefix: /usr/local
            exec_prefix: ${prefix}
                 bindir: ${exec_prefix}/bin

                datadir: ${prefix}/share

      fml process owner: fml
      fml process group: fml
             fmlconfdir: /etc/fml
             mlspooldir: /var/spool/ml
         default domain: home.fml.org

Now you must run "make install".
