Name
confEBINDIR
Synopsis
The confEBINDIR
macro tells the
Build program where to install the
smrsh(1) (Section 5.8.2) and
mail.local(1) (FEATURE(local_lmtp))
programs when they are built. Defining it sets the directory where
these programs will be installed, and where
sendmail will look when executing them. For
example:
define(`confEBINDIR', `/opt/mail/bin')
There is not a single default for this setting. Instead, it is usually predefined in one of the osytpe files (Section 4.2.2.1) specific to your operating system (normally /usr/libexec or /usr/sbin).
The smrsh(1) program is located in the smrsh subdirectory of the source distribution. It can be built like this:
%cd smrsh
%./Build -f ../../builds/oursite.m4
The mail.local program is located in the mail.local subdirectory of the source distribution. It can be built like this:
%cd mail.local
%./Build -f ../../builds/oursite.m4
Be sure that the setting of confEBINDIR
in your
m4 build file matches the setting in your
configuration m4 file. If you fail to take this
precaution, those programs will be installed in a directory different
from the one in which sendmail expects to find
them.
