INSTALL Instructions for Fetchmail
Installing fetchmail is easy. From within this directory, type:
./configure
The autoconfiguration script will spend a bit of time figuring out the
specifics of your system. If you want to specify a particular compiler
(e.g. you have gcc but want to compile with cc), set the environment
variable CC before you run configure.
If you're running QNX, edit the distributed Makefile directly. The
QNX values for various macros are there but commented out; all you
have to do is uncomment them.
Next run
make
This will compile fetchmail for your system. Note that in order to
build it, you'll need either flex at version 2.5.3 org greater, or lex.
Lastly, become root and run
make install
This will install fetchmail. By default, fetchmail will be installed
in /usr/local/bin, with the man page in /usr/local/man/man1, and the
GNU info file in /usr/local/info. If you wish to change these defaults,
edit the Makefile AFTER you run "configure" but BEFORE you run
"make install." You can easily choose a prefix other than /usr/local,
or you can choose completely different directories for each item.
See the file sample.poprc for a description of configuring your
individual preferences.
Enjoy!
