[Lurker-users] buildling cvs

[Kevin B. <co...@co...>]

Greetings,
  I've just recently come across lurker, and it looks like a rather nice
archive system.  I'm now trying to get a trial install setup, and ran
into the following build issues.

In looking for libst and libc-client, I wondered which versions are
recommended?  I installed libst-1.4 without much trouble.

I looked for libc-client, but I don't see it specifically at
ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/imap/ .  Has it been renamed or moved?  I
started by installing imap and imap-devel (SuSE 8.1), as that provided
libc-client.  However, because the package is named imap, the include
files are in <imap/*.h> rather than <c-client/*.h>.  I worked around
that by modifying 'configure' and lurker/store/mbox.h to use the imap
include files.  Is this reasonable?  I'm unfamiliar with the imap and
c-client libraries, so I don't know if the version in imap is even close
to that expected by lurker.  (However, I noticed later that the ftp site
mentioned above has a 'c-client.tar.Z' which extracts to imap/src/* and
includes some c-client files.  Is this the version lurker uses?

I've completed a compile now, but the link is failing like:

gcc  -g -O2 -Wall   -o lurkerd  config.o decode.o md5.o indexer.o

`mail_string'

`rfc822_parse_msg_full'


But that looks like a problem with my configure changes to get
libc-client to be recognized (no -lc-client on the link line:( ).  I'll
spend some more time getting this working.  Suggestions welcome :)  Are
you interested in autoconf patches if this can be made to work more
cleanly on SuSE?
