Build instructions ------------------ For most people, the usual: ./configure make sudo make install is enough. This installs Dovecot under /usr/local. You must also rename the configuration file to get it to work: mv /usr/local/etc/dovecot-example.conf /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf Read through it, make needed modifications and start imap-master. SSL/TLS ------- GNUTLS v0.5.5 or later is required to enable SSL and TLS support. OpenSSL isn't supported. You can get GNUTLS from http://www.gnutls.org/ Optional configure options -------------------------- You can get a full list with: ./configure --help The options are listed like --with-thing or --enable-thing, usually they're also enabled by default. You can disable them with --without-thing or --disable-thing. Besides the standard options, Dovecot has added these: --enable-ipv6 Enable IPv6 support (default) Enable IPv6 support. By default it's enabled if system is detected to support it. --with-file-offset-size=BITS Specifies if we use 32bit or 64bit file offsets. 64bit is default if system supports it (Linux and Solaris does). You most likely won't have mails larger than 2GB, so you may want to drop this to 32bit for a bit smaller disk and memory usage. --with-passwd Build with /etc/passwd support (default) --with-passwd-file Build with passwd-like file support (default) --with-shadow Build with shadow password support (default) --with-pam Build with PAM support (default) --with-vpopmail Build with vpopmail support (default) Specify which authentication modules to use. Disabling them give you a few bytes smaller binary, but not much else. --with-gnutls Build with GNUTLS (default) Use GNUTLS for SSL and TLS support.
