[bug-mailutils] how to download mailutils sources from git for next offline build

Hello Franta,

How should I do that minimal tarbal, with ./configure for my system
autoconf, with .po files, radius.m4 and all needed files for mailutils
build - and withou other balast?

I think that `make dist` should do what you want. That's a default option for
gnu automake. There's also a `make distcheck`, which constructs the tarball
and additionnaly ensure most use case works, by attempting to build the
resulted tarball in a temporary directory. You'll find the documentation on the
automake/autotool website.
Kind Regards,
Pierre-Jean.

Please, what is best way for preparing mailutils package for subsequent
build on destination machine,

make distcheck

Hello Pierre-Jean and Sergey,

thanks for your advices. Again I found some time working on compiling
mailutils, but results are not good:

- "make dist" ends with the contents of the directory 30 MB larger than
it was before.

- "make distcheck" produces decent tarball (~ 2.6 MB .tar.xz) and
continues with makeutils build. But after while it ends with error

Hi Sergey, thanks for your help. Attached are outputs from configure and make
(I did just:
./configure --with-gsasl --with-gdbm --with-mysql --with-ldap --with-postgres >configure-output.lst 2>&1
make >make-output.lst 2>&1
)
and two mail/msgset.* files + some outputs perhaps from './configure'.
Sorry, the attachment is quite large.

1. git pull
2. make maintainer-clean
3. ./bootstrap
4. ./configure
5. make

I'm far ahead, but there are still some little problem:

I did 'git clone', not 'git pull' (which I don't know, I know only clone),
and I got mailutils-3.2.93 commit 8d892095.

- ./bootstrap, ./configure and make ends OK on my F19/i686 machine.

- but when I tried to build mailutils on my F25/x86_64 server, ./configure
ends with error:
...

checking for struct addrinfo... yes
checking for getnameinfo... yes
checking for wcwidth... (cached) yes

configure: error: in `/home/hanzlik/tmp/mailutils-3.2.93':
configure: error: The requested library libmysqlclient is not found or is unusable
See `config.log' for more details

which is perhaps because my libmysqlclient.so (mariadb-devel-10.1.24-3.fc25.x86_64)
is in /usr/lib64/mysql/ :
$ ls -l /usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.so
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 20 Jun 9 08:31 /usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.so -> libmysqlclient.so.18

after patching 'configure' with:

I was able build mailutils on x86_64 arch too.

I tried, when this problem may be due to using tarball which was generated
on i32 system, and I was repeated new git clone/bootstrap/configure
procedure on x86_64 system, but configure ends with same
'libmysqlclient is not found' error.

I think, for now is my problem with mailutils build solved.
Again many thanks for your help.

./configure LDFLAGS='-L/usr/lib64/mysql'

This work, thanks.

But is this way of manually adding the path correct/optimal?
Should not solve this automatically ./bootstrap or ./configure itself?

What seems be weird and maybe related to problem above - on this x86_64
system are libraries installed under /usr/lib/ - although should be
(on systems, which support two architectures, as AMD64 is) placed under
/usr/lib64/, right?
Or am I doing something wrong?

It is quiet correct.

It could be figured out by configure.

Libraries in /usr/lib are 32-bit ones, those in /usr/lib64 are 64-bit
ones.

After looking to some other packages it seems as it should be solved
automatically - these paths for i386 and x86_64 are known.
In mailutils case perhaps sufficient should be patch:

Using it and with '--libdir=/usr/lib64' ./configure option I was able build
mailutils also on Fedora 25/x86_64 systems.

I don't see any substantial difference between using
'--libdir=/usr/lib64' and 'LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib64'.

I'm not sure. I would like to create an RPM mailutils package for my
distribution (I want to stick to the distribution convention and have
the system clean), and the LDFLAGS variable is somehow set up by its
packaging system and I do not want to influence it. While --libbir is
the regular option to the ./configure script.
