2.7.4 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 pathor a pathrelative
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.
2.7.5 confCC
Compiler used to build sendmail Build macro
The confCC macro is used to specify which C-language compiler to use when building sendmail.
The default is probably appropriate for your system, but there might be times when a
different compiler is preferred.
