I don't use Fedora, but it should be pretty simple. Just extract the sources and then as yourself do:
make
Then to install it you'll need to run the following as root:
make install
The default for Linux is to install it into /usr (not /usr/local) but you can configure that in the Makefile. The reason for that is that's the state it was in when I took it over and I've not got around to fixing it yet! :-(
Let me know how it goes!
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Not a problem, glad to hear that it is working now!
The localhost.localdomain is, I suspect, being generated by your locally installed MTA.
You can override this with the -h option to vacation, which lets you specify a virtual domain. So you would have "-h creativevisuals.com.au" added to the command in your .forward file. I've never tried this option before, and have only just found it when I was looking through the source.
I've also just noticed that this doesn't seem to be documented in the man page, could you log a bug on that under the "Tracker" menu option and I'll fix it.
Let me know how you go.
cheers!

Ahh, I've seen that before on other distros with other programs.
If that's the only domain on the machine then you're probably OK, but in other situations you're best of sticking to the '-h' option (now in the manual page in subversion, will appear in the next release).
Thanks!

Please help...totally newbie here..
Just downloaded the beta version of vacation source files.
How do I go about compiling and installing it on fedora core 7 ?
thanks for any help.
Hi there,

hi...tried that..
this is the result that I got ...
[root@mail vacation-1.2.7.0-beta4]# make install
gcc -Wall -DMAIN -Xlinker -warn-common -D_PATH_VACATION=\"/usr/bin/vacation\" -o vacation vacation.c strlcpy.c strlcat.c rfc822.c -lgdbm
vacation.c: In function ‘main’:
vacation.c:143: error: duplicate case value
vacation.c:140: error: previously used here
make: *** [vacation] Error 1
[root@mail vacation-1.2.7.0-beta4]#
Help ??
Yeah - that's completely my fault, it was logged as a bug but the SourceForge bug tracker did not email me about it and I missed it completely! :-(
I'm in the process of rolling 1.2.7.0-beta5 at the moment..
Hi Chris,
thanks for the all the help.
I believe vacation is working.
only one glitch, which I'm sure you can help me with.
when the autosend kicks in, instead of using my domain
creativevisuals.com.au
it uses
keo@localhost.localdomain
instead ???
how do make it use my domain name ?
where do I change this ?
thanks in advance

Hi, I kinda found an alternative.
I changed the host file for
127.0.0.1 and added creativevisuals.com.au
to it and that seemed to work fine with vacation.
so thanks for all your help.
much appreciated.
