Adding Mail with Exim - Install Exim
(Page 4 of 9 )
A configuration file that specifies compile options independent of any operating system is created with the name Local/Makefile. Copy the template src/EDITME to Local/Makefile and then edit it appropriately. Once the build configuration file is finished, build and install Exim.
Configure the Local/Makefile.
# cd ../../exim-4.50
# cp src/EDITME Local/Makefile
# vi Local/Makefile |
Add to it the following entries:
USE_DB=yes
INCLUDE=-I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.3/include
DBMLIB=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.3/lib/libdb.a |
Edit the following entries:
BIN_DIRECTORY=/usr/local/exim/bin
CONFIGURE_FILE=/usr/local/exim/conf/exim.conf
EXIM_USER=ref:exim
SPOOL_DIR=/var/spool/exim
SYSTEM_ALIASES_FILE=/usr/local/exim/conf/aliases |
Comment out the following entry:
# EXIM_MONITOR=eximon.bin |
Compile and install Exim.
# make makefile
# make && make install |
Exim's documentation is not installed with the binary, and is actually packaged separately. Copy Exim's end-user documentation files to the installation directory.
# cp -R ../exim-html-4.50/doc /usr/local/exim |
Next: Configure Exim >>
