Re: Building Courier the Debian way

[Justin <jbauer@engr.smu.edu>]

Well, I figured out what I was doing wrong, but I have a new problem
now.  My steps were:

1.  Download .tar.gz and patch from debian.
2.  Unpack the source and patch it.
3.  Run "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot"

My problem was step three.  I didn't realize I needed to run
"./debian/rules build" from the source directory.

The source configures fine, and compiles great until it reaches
"authvchkpw.c" and spits out this message.

-----------------------------
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.     -I/usr/include/mysql
-I/var/qmail/vpopmail/include -g -O2 -Wall -I.. -I./.. -c authvchkpw.c
authvchkpw.c: In function `auth_vchkpw_changepass':
authvchkpw.c:142: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type

------------------------------

I'm researching the issue right now, and if I find out what's wrong,
I'll let you guys know.  If anyone already knows, please clue me in.  :)

thanks for your help so far,

Justin
