Building Pine
I'm trying to help my gf set up Pine on a server at her college (since
those silly students actually prefer it over mutt), and we're both
running into the same compilation problem (with Woody on my box and
Potato on the server).
Using the pine4-src and pine4-diffs packages, after running
"debian/rules binary" the compilation proceeds for a while and then ends
with this:
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/pine4/pine4-4.21'
test -f pine/pine.c -a -f debian/rules
test root = "`whoami`"
rm -rf debian/tmp
install -d debian/tmp/DEBIAN debian/tmp/usr/lib/menu
cd debian/tmp && install -d usr/bin usr/man/man1 usr/doc/pine
cd debian && install -m 755 postinst postrm tmp/DEBIAN
cd debian && install -m 644 menu.pine tmp/usr/lib/menu/pine
install bin/pine debian/tmp/usr/bin
install: cannot stat `bin/pine': No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [binaryPine] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/pine4/pine4-4.21'
make: *** [binary-arch] Error 2
This error (or at least something very similar to it) occurs on both
computers, in both Potato and Woody, and with both pine4 and pine396. I
ended up pointing my gf to unofficial binary debs, but I'd really like
to know what we're doing wrong.
Glancing in the bin directory, it seems to have built pico, pilot,
imapd, and mtest binaries fine, but as the error message states, there
is no pine binary.
