confBUILDBIN
Location of devtools/bin Build macro
The confBUILDBIN
macro is used to define the location of the
devtools/bin directory.
Normally, this macro will never have to be defined
because the default value is correct, but there
might be a rare circumstance when you will need to
redefine it. If, for example, you need to move the
devtools/bin directory to a
different path, or rename it, you can do so like
this:
define(`confBUILDBIN', `../../OLD_devtools/bin')
Note that the value given to confBUILDBIN
must be either an absolute
path or a path relative to the
obj directory
(sendmail is built inside the
obj directory).
The confBUILDBIN
macro sets the BUILDBIN=
line in
Makefile. Depending on your
operating system, that line might or might not be
used. For Solaris 2.5, for example, it is used like
this:
INSTALL=${BUILDBIN}/install.sh
One use for confBUILDBIN
can occur when you are
actively modifying the sendmail
code, and it becomes appropriate to maintain the
source completely separate from the normal
distribution tree.
