Installing nmh, guided by script
--------------------------------
-For routine installation on popular platforms, the shell script in
-docs/contrib/build_nmh can be used to guide you through configuration.
-It will then build and optionally (with -i) install in the configured
-location.

------------------------
"configure" initial values for these on its command line or in its
environment. For example,
- ./configure CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix
+ ./configure CC=c99 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix
If you wish to add options that are only used at compile time instead of
link time, you can use the CPPFLAGS variable:
--bindir=DIR (DEFAULT is ${prefix}/bin)
nmh's binaries (show, inc, comp, ...) are installed here.
---libdir=DIR (DEFAULT is ${prefix}/lib)
- nmh's support binaries (post, slocal, mhl, ...) are installed here.
+--libexecdir=DIR (DEFAULT is ${prefix}/libexec)
+ nmh's support binaries (post, slocal, mhl, ...) are installed
+ in ${libexecdir}/nmh.
--sysconfdir=DIR (DEFAULT is ${prefix}/etc)
- nmh's config files (mts.conf, mhn.defaults, ...) are installed here.
+ nmh's config files (mts.conf, mhn.defaults, ...) are installed
+ in ${sysconfdir}/nmh.
--mandir=DIR (DEFAULT is ${prefix}/man)
nmh's man pages are installed here.
---enable-debug
- Enable debugging support.
-
--with-editor=EDITOR (DEFAULT is vi)
specify the full path of the default editor to use. If this
option is not given, then the configuration process will search
is not given, then the configuration process will search for the
command `more' and use it as the default.
---with-smtpservers='SMTPSERVER1[ SMTPSERVER2...]' (DEFAULT is localhost)
+--with-smtpserver='SMTPSERVER' (DEFAULT is localhost)
If this option is not specified, the mts.conf file will contain
the line "servers: localhost", which may be manually edited later.
You may find it convenient to specify a value at configure-time,
