2.7.31 confLN
Program to link files Build macro
As part of installing the sendmail suite of programs, some symbolic links have to be established.
The program to create those symbolic links is called ln(1).
If you prefer to use a different program to create symbolic links, you can do so by defining,
as shown here, a new program to use:
define(`confLN??, `/usr/local/bin/ln??)
* This is why defining -DNEWDB with confENVDEF sometimes causes two -DNEWDBs to appear when
compiling.
?? Look in devtools/README and in devtools/M4/header.m4 to see how it has been predefined, before redefining
it.

Before specifying a new program, however, be sure that its command-line arguments (see
the next section) are compatible with those used by the default program.
Prior to V8.12.5, this install macro could be used only for libmilter, not for the confLINKS
programs (?§2.7.33 on page 84). This has been fixed as of V8.12.6, and this install macro
can be used for all the programs.
2.7.32 confLNOPTS
Switches for the program to link files Build macro
As part of installing the sendmail suite of programs, some symbolic links have to be established.
The program to create those symbolic links is usually called ln(1), but it can be
renamed with the confLN macro described in the previous section.
