Compilation

If you downloaded this package using Git, you will first need to run autogen.sh to generate the configure script and some other files:

./autogen.sh

The following compilation software/packages must be installed:

After this script is executed successfully, configure needs to be executed with the following parameters:

--with-dovecot=<path>
Path to the dovecot-config file. This can either be a compiled dovecot source tree or point to the location where the dovecot-config file is installed on your system (typically in the $prefix/lib/dovecot directory).

When these parameters are omitted, the configure script will try to find the local Dovecot installation implicitly.

For example, when compiling against compiled Dovecot sources:

./configure --with-dovecot=../dovecot-src

Or when compiling against a Dovecot installation:

./configure --with-dovecot=/path/to/dovecot

To compile and install, execute the following:

make
sudo make install
