Useful Tables

This section contains two tables of information that are useful for building and installing sendmail:

  • Table 2-1 (Section 2.2.1 [V8.13]) shows the directories and files that will populate the source directory after you extract the sendmail source.

  • Table 2-2 (Section 2.2.2 [V8.13]) shows the m4 directives that determine how the sendmail program (and its companion programs) will be built.

The sendmail Source Directory

The files and directories that appear after you unpack sendmail into its source directory are listed in Table 2-1. They are described in detail in the sections indicated.

Build m4 Directives

The Build program builds using the directives that are shown in Table 2-2 and described in the sections indicated. These directives are placed into a Build-input file, the name of which is specified by the -f switch to Build. One part of such a Build-input file might look like this:

define(`confENVDEF´, `-DMATCHGECOS=0´)
APPENDDEF(`confMAPDEF´, `-DNIS´)

Note that most macros are defined with the define m4 directive (as in the first line of the example above), while a few others are standalone. Those that stand alone (as in the second line of the example above) are indicated in the table with trailing parentheses.

If an argument to define or APPENDDEF contains a comma, you must double the half-quotes surrounding it—for example:

define(`confDAEMON_OPTIONS´, ``Name=MTA-v4, Family=inet´Â´)

Here, the second argument to define contains a comma, so the entire second argument must begin with two left half-quotes and end with two right half-quotes.
