    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
