OK. First, you should install gcc, make, binutils and other
development tools. You must install gdbm too because maildrop use
this.
Then, get maildrop's source tarball from
http://www.flounder.net/~mrsam/maildrop/ (I compiled version 1.2.2.).
I attach my *dirty* patch for maildrop to this email.
Extract the tarball, and apply this patch to sources.
How to build:
$ tar zxvf maildrop-1.2.2.tar.gz
$ cd maildrop-1.2.2
$ patch -p1 < maildrop-1.2.2-cygwin.patch
$ ./configure --with-devel --enable-userdb --enable-maildirquota \
--enable-syslog=1 \
--enable-trusted-users='root mail daemon postmaster qmaild mmdf' \
--enable-restrict-trusted=0
$ make
$ make install-strip
Or, you can get rpm-3.0.6 binary and maildrop's rpm binary package
from my page.and extract this tarball at root directory. This tarball
include a command named 'rpm2cpio'. You can install maildrop's rpm
package by following at root directory:
rpm2cpio maildrop-1.2.2-2.i686-cygwin.rpm | cpio -idv
Sorry my poor English.
Good luck!
