compiling 2.3.16 on debian 64bit

[Rudy Gevaert]

Hi!

A new year brings new resolutions!  One of our resolutions is  
upgrading our cyrus infrastructure from 32bit to 64bit, moving to a  
new storage backend,  upgrading from etch to lenny and on top of that  
rewriting our backend scripts.

But before getting to all that, I need to be able to get cyrus  
compiled.  I have one problem, and one question:

1) I also ran into the -fpic problem and can fix that when I'm running  
make.  However makedepend can't handle 'pic' very well.

This is how I do it:

cyrus_version=cyrus-2.3.16
dest_dir=/tmp/cyrus-2.3.16

rm -fr $dest_dir
mkdir $dest_dir

make clean
./configure CFLAGS="-O2 -g -fpic  -Wall -pipe" \
         --prefix=/usr/${cyrus_version}  \
         --with-cyrus-prefix=/usr/${cyrus_version} \
         --with-bdb-libdir=/usr/lib/  \
         --with-openssl=/usr  \
         --with-com_err=/usr  \
         --with-bdb-incdir=/usr/include  \
	--with-seen-db=skiplist --with-mboxlist-db=skiplist \
	--enable-murder --enable-idled --enable-replication

make depend || exit
make all || exit
make -C sieve test || exit
echo make install DESTDIR=${dest_dir}
make install DESTDIR=${dest_dir}

And the relevant output:


### Making depend in /home/cyrus/debs/cyrus-imapd-2.3.16/lib
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/cyrus/debs/cyrus-imapd-2.3.16/lib'

-I/usr/include/et  -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -I. -O2 -g -fpic  -Wall -pipe *.c  
./*.c 1>makedepend.log 2>&1

puptest:/home/cyrus/debs/cyrus-imapd-2.3.16# cat lib/makedepend.log
makedepend: warning:  ignoring option -Wall
makedepend: error:  cannot open "pic"

I can just not do the make depend, but I dnon't know what the impact is...


2) My other question is about some things that have been removed.   
./configure --help isn't that verbose as it was in the older versions.  
  Also, some options seem to have been removed??

configure:22514: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-seen-db,  
--with-mboxlist-db

What has happend here?

Thanks!!
