Before you can build Exim, you have to create an "exim" user and group:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# groupadd -g 222 exim
|
|
|
|
|
# useradd -d /var/spool/exim -g exim -s /bin/false -u 222 exim
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The recommended uid/gid is 222, but others are fine if you prefer - see
|
|
|
|
|
https://slackbuilds.org/uid_gid.txt for other recommendations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There's no "configure" script; instead Exim is configured by editing
|
|
|
|
|
a well documented Makefile, which is then included during the build
|
|
|
|
|
process. The provided "exim.Makefile" will build an all-purpose Exim
|
|
|
|
|
daemon with the most common features.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The database lookups will not be built by default, but you can enable
|
|
|
|
|
them easily by passing the directives on the command line when calling
|
|
|
|
|
this script, e.g.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
LOOKUP_JSON=yes \
|

|
|
|
LOOKUP_LDAP=yes \
|
|
|
|
|
LOOKUP_MYSQL=yes \
|
|
|
|
|
LOOKUP_PGSQL=yes \
|
|
|
|
|
LOOKUP_REDIS=yes \
|
|
|
|
|
LOOKUP_SQLITE=yes \
|
|
|
|
|
sh exim.SlackBuild

For including the JSON, PostgreSQL and Redis lookups you'll need the
|
|
|
|
|
"jansson", "hiredis" and "postgresql" packages respectively, all available
|
|
|
|
|
from SlackBuilds.org.
