| 1 Build instructions | |
| 2 ------------------ | |
| 3 | |
| 4 For most people, the usual: | |
| 5 | |
| 6 ./configure | |
| 7 make | |
| 8 sudo make install | |
| 9 | |
| 10 is enough. This installs Dovecot under /usr/local. You must also rename the | |
| 11 configuration file to get it to work: | |
| 12 | |
| 13 mv /usr/local/etc/dovecot-example.conf /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf | |
| 14 | |
| 15 Read through it, make needed modifications and start imap-master. | |
| 16 | |
| 17 SSL/TLS | |
| 18 ------- | |
| 19 | |
| 20 GNUTLS v0.5.5 or later is required to enable SSL and TLS support. OpenSSL | |
| 21 isn't supported. You can get GNUTLS from http://www.gnutls.org/ | |
| 22 | |
| 23 Optional configure options | |
| 24 -------------------------- | |
| 25 | |
| 26 You can get a full list with: | |
| 27 | |
| 28 ./configure --help | |
| 29 | |
| 30 The options are listed like --with-thing or --enable-thing, usually they're | |
| 31 also enabled by default. You can disable them with --without-thing or | |
| 32 --disable-thing. | |
| 33 | |
| 34 Besides the standard options, Dovecot has added these: | |
| 35 | |
| 36 --enable-ipv6 Enable IPv6 support (default) | |
| 37 | |
| 38 Enable IPv6 support. By default it's enabled if system is detected to | |
| 39 support it. | |
| 40 | |
| 41 --with-file-offset-size=BITS | |
| 42 | |
| 43 Specifies if we use 32bit or 64bit file offsets. 64bit is default if system | |
| 44 supports it (Linux and Solaris does). You most likely won't have mails | |
| 45 larger than 2GB, so you may want to drop this to 32bit for a bit smaller | |
| 46 disk and memory usage. | |
| 47 | |
| 48 --with-passwd Build with /etc/passwd support (default) | |
| 49 --with-passwd-file Build with passwd-like file support (default) | |
| 50 --with-shadow Build with shadow password support (default) | |
| 51 --with-pam Build with PAM support (default) | |
| 52 --with-vpopmail Build with vpopmail support (default) | |
| 53 | |
| 54 Specify which authentication modules to use. Disabling them give you a few | |
| 55 bytes smaller binary, but not much else. | |
| 56 | |
| 57 --with-gnutls Build with GNUTLS (default) | |
| 58 | |
| 59 Use GNUTLS for SSL and TLS support. |
