Compliation problems / cyrus-imap 2.1.9

[Nick Majeran]

Hello,

I'm currently attempting to compile 2.1.9 on a Debian Woody (3.0r0) HPPA box.  I'm
running into the following problem during linkage stage of the IMAP perl
library:

* If ld (2.12.90.0.1) is used, I get this:

Methinks its a problem with the Makefile somewhere, but I can't put a finger
on it, and after some good trial and error, I've still come back to the same
end results.  I can see why it would complain about 'main' as it would
appear to be building a shared library with no 'main' function in
../perl/imap/IMAP.c.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I also had a few other issues with compliation that I (who knows
if it is right) fixed:

With db 4.1.24, compilation would barf on cyrusdb_db3.c @ line 350.  gcc
complained about too few arguments to db->open().  I added a NULL so the
final called looked like:

r = db->open(db, NULL, fname, NULL, DB_BTREE, DB_CREATE, 0664);

That seemed to make gcc happy, since it was looking for a DB_TXN *txnid,
which can apparently be NULL.

I'm sure there is something rather obvious that I am missing here, but I
can't put a finger on what it is.  Any help would be greatly appriecated.
