Installation problems

Hello,

I've just downloaded sa-exim 4.0 and am trying to install it onto a
Solaris 9 system with exim 4.30.

First I see the INSTALL file says:

   Note that if you do this, you are responsible for modifying variables
   in sa-exim.c that would normally have been modified by the Makefile.

What variables? I'm happy enough to install patches and the like, but do
I have to go through the whole of the source to see what exim may
change? How do I know if it is something that exim would normally
modify?

Secondly, the document says:

   In the sa-exim distribution directory, type make sa-exim.h, and copy
   it in the same place than sa-exim.c.

Tried that and got:

  make sa-exim.h
  echo "char *version=\"`cat version` (built `date -R`)\";" > sa-exim.h
  date: illegal option -- R
  usage:  date [-u] mmddHHMM[[cc]yy][.SS]
          date [-u] [+format]
          date -a [-]sss[.fff]
  *** Error code 1
  make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `sa-exim.h'

Okay I can remove the '-R' option but I am assuming this won't break
anything that looks for the date? What is '-R' supposed to do?


Thanks,

John.
