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
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.
