RE: sqwebmail-4.0.3 and vpopmail-5.4.3_1 on FreeBSD 4.4

Well with a little coaxing between using the ports make file and then
going in and manually running install-configure I was able to get things
working.

If I have a little spare time in the next weeks I will take a look at
the port and see if I can fix it so it runs all the appropriate scripts.

Thanks Brian,

None of those are valid configure settings for sqwebmail!!

 --with-cachedir takes a directory argument  --enable-webpass does not
take an argument (apart from 'yes' or 'no')  --with-module is not a
valid option at all (should be --with-authvchkpw)

But in any case if you are using the port you probably ought to be using
the port options:

  make -DWITH_VCHKPW

Read /usr/ports/mail/sqwebmail/Makefile for information about the
options available to you.

You forgot 'make install-configure'. Or if the port does not do this,
then the port is broken. You can do it manually:

  cd work/sqwebmail-4.0.3
  gmake install-configure

You would, if you have no configuration files.

Clearly, authvchkpw is not supported in your configuration, because it's
not in the available list of modules. That's because you didn't supply
the right options when you compiled it.

Start again - and if the port doesn't work, try compiling it yourself
and follow the instructions in INSTALL.
