| Warning |
Since libEtPan! is making high usage of mmap() even for writing, when your mailboxes are on NFS filesystem with a Linux server, it is advised to use option no_subtree_check in /etc/exports. This should avoid corruption of data. The problem exist in Linux 2.4.22 and earlier versions. |
On RedHat systems, you have to configure using the following command line : ./configure --with-openssl=/usr/kerberos
On Debian systems, if the ./autogen script fails on missing AM_ICONV, you have to install gettext package.
You can use the following options :
--enable-debug Compiles with debugging turned on
--enable-optim Turns on some optimizations flags for gcc
--without-openssl Disables OpenSSL (do not look for it)
