root@midas:~/current-new/source/n/elm/elm2.5.6# ./Configure
(I see you are using the Korn shell. Some ksh's blow up on Configure,
especially on exotic machines. If yours does, try the Bourne shell instead.)
Beginning of configuration questions for elm2.5 kit.
First let's make sure your kit is complete. Checking...
Looks good...
Found bin directory
Checking your sh to see if it knows about # comments...
Your sh handles # comments correctly.
Okay, let's see if #! works on this system...
It does.
Checking out how to guarantee sh startup...
Let's see if '#!/bin/sh' works...
Yup, it does.
Checking echo to see how to suppress newlines...
...using -n.
Type carriage return to continue. Your cursor should be here-->
This installation shell script will examine your system and ask you questions
to determine how the elm2.5 package should be installed. If you get stuck
on a question, you may use a ! shell escape to start a subshell or execute
a command. Many of the questions will have default answers in square
brackets--typing carriage return will give you the default.
On some of the questions which ask for file or directory names you are
allowed to use the ~name construct to specify the login directory belonging
to "name", even if you don't have a shell which knows about that. Questions
where this is allowed will be marked "(~name ok)".
[Type carriage return to continue]
Much effort has been expended to ensure that this shell script will run
on any Unix system. If despite that it blows up on you, your best bet is
to edit Configure and run it again. Also, let the Elm Development Group
(elm@dsi.com) know how they blew it. If you can't run Configure for
some reason, you'll have to generate a config.sh file by hand.
This installation script affects things in two ways: 1) it may do direct
variable substitutions on some of the files included in this kit, and
2) it builds a config.h file for inclusion in C programs. You may edit
any of these files as the need arises after running this script.
If you make a mistake on a question, there is no easy way to back up to it
currently. The easiest thing to do is to edit config.sh and rerun all the
SH files. Configure will offer to let you do this before it runs the SH files.

They are compatible. In fact, they may be identical.
There is a neat feature that enables scanning of the message body for
entries to add to the users ".calendar" (or whatever) file. These
entries are then processed by the system program calendar. To use
this feature it needs to be enabled. The name of the per user calendar
file used by your system's calendar program is also required.
Enable calendar feature [y] n
Not all environments are restricted to the ASCII 7-bit character set.
For example, the ISO 8859/1 (Latin alphabet no. 1) character set,
consisting of 8 bits and 191 printable characters, is becoming
more and more common, especially in non-English speaking countries.
Unfortunately, not all isprint() functions or macros, which ELM
uses to determine whether a character is printable or not, will
handle non-ASCII (8-bit) characters properly. It is suggested that you
start with this value configured to handle 8-bit characters correctly
and if there are problems with Elm aborting while displaying messages
that use extended character sets to reconfigure Elm to only display
7-bit characters.
Should Elm assume that isprint() won't break on non-ASCII characters? [y]
Hmm... Looks kind of like a version 7 system, but we'll see...
Congratulations. You aren't running Eunice.
It's not Xenix...
Nor is it Venix...
Does your /etc/passwd file keep full names in Berkeley/V7 format (name first
thing after ':' in GCOS field)? [y]
The Elm documentation (Reference Guide, Configuration Guide, etc.) is set up
for troff. If you only have nroff, it can be used, but the documentation will
not be as readable. If you use an alternate processor for troff/nroff
documents it can be specified here. Elm expects the text processor to write
to standard out. You will be given a chance to provide command line options
to this command in the next question.
Give the name of the program used to format the Elm documentation on
your system: [/usr/bin/troff]
If this text processor requires any options for proper formatting, specify
them here. To specify no options, enter the word "none". Some versions
of troff require the -t option to write to standard out. This is the
proper place to specify that option.
What options should Elm use with /usr/bin/troff: []
elm2.5 has manual pages that can be installed in unformatted or formatted form.
Either or both (or neither) of these may be installed.
Please give the location in which to store each type of man page.
To specify that a particular type is not to be installed, answer "none"
to the question.
Where do the unformatted manual pages go? [/usr/man/mann] /usr/man/man1
The installed unformatted manual pages can have various extensions to suit the
conventions of the host operating system, for example "page.1".
Note that the period '.' must be included as part of the extension.
To specify no extension, enter the word "none".
What extension should be used on installed unformatted man pages: [.1]
Where do the formatted manual pages go? [/usr/man/catn] /var/man/cat1
Online manual pages are generally formatted with nroff. If you use an
alternate text processor for on-line manual pages it can be specified here.
Elm expects the text processor to write to standard out.
Note: This does not effect the formatter previously chosen for the Elm
Elm documentation (Reference Guide, Configuration Guide, etc.).
Give the name of the program used to format on-line manual pages
on your system: [/usr/bin/nroff]
If this text processor requires any options for proper formatting, specify
then here. To specify no options, enter the word "none".
What options should Elm use with /usr/bin/nroff: []
The installed formatted manual pages can have various extensions to suit the
conventions of the host operating system, for example "page.1".
Note that the period '.' must be included as part of the extension.
To specify no extension, enter the word "none".
What extension should be used on installed formatted man pages: [.1]
Should the formatted manual pages be compressed? [n]
Some systems have different model sizes. On most systems they are called
small, medium, large, and huge. On the PDP11 they are called unsplit and
split. If your system doesn't support different memory models, say "none".
If you wish to force everything to one memory model, say "none" here and
put the appropriate flags later when it asks you for other cc and ld flags.
Xenix and Venix systems may wish to put "none" and let the compiler figure
things out.
(In the following question multiple model names should be space separated.)
Which models are supported? [none]
Use which C compiler? [cc]
Some C compilers have problems with their optimizers, by default, elm2.5
compiles with the -O flag to use the optimizer. Alternately, you might
want to use the symbolic debugger, which uses the -g flag (on traditional
UNIX systems). Either flag can be specified here. To use neither flag,
specify the word "none".
What optimizer/debugger flag should be used? [-O]
Your C compiler may want other flags. For this question you should
include -I/whatever and -DWHATEVER flags and any other flags used by
the C compiler, but you should NOT include libraries or ld flags like
-lwhatever. If you want elm to honor its debug flag, add -DDEBUG.
To use no flags, specify the word "none".
Any additional cc flags? [none]
Your linker/loader may want other flags. For example, you might
want to enable support for the symbolic debugger (-g on traditional
UNIX systems). For this question you should specify those flags.
Do NOT specify libraries (-lwhatever) here. Most systems will not
need any special flags, in which case specify "none".
Any additional ld flags (NOT including libraries)? [none]
Checking for optional libraries...
No -lintl.
No -lnls.
Some versions of UNIX support shared libraries, which make
executables smaller but make load time slightly longer.
On some systems, mostly newer UNIX System V's, the shared library
is included by putting the option "-lc_s" as the last thing on the
cc command line when linking. Other systems use shared libraries
by default. There may be other libraries needed to compile elm2.5
on your machine as well. If your system needs the "-lc_s" option,
include it here. Include any other special libraries here as well.
Say "none" for none.
Any additional libraries? [none]
You've got Linux, using /usr/lib/libc.a
Extracting names from /usr/lib/libc.a for later perusal...done
Now, how can we feed standard input to your C preprocessor...
Maybe "cc -E" will work...
Nope, maybe "/usr/bin/cpp" will work...
Yup, it does.
Your C preprocessor defines the following symbols:
unix
__STDC__
Testing your "ctype" conversion routines...
Using standard system "ctype" conversions.
Testing your "fflush" routine...
Looks good.
Does your system allow chown(-1, group) and chown(user, -1) to
not change the user or group respectively. This is usually documented
in the chown manual page (man 2 chown). (Most POSIX and BSD systems can,
Xenix cannot)
Does this system allow -1 as chown argument? [y]
Some modern Mail Transport Agents (mailers) support the Content-Length: header.
In doing so, they do not wish to have messages escaped to protect 'From ' lines
in the body of the message, among other strings. Does the Mail Transport Agent
in use on this system honor the Content-Length: header?
Honors Content-Length: header? [n]
cuserid() found
Elm can either display the hostname on the index page, or just
the folder name. If the hostname is displayed, the folder name
will read hostname:folder. If not it will just read folder.
Should Elm display the hostname as part of the folder name? [n]
flock() found.
flock locking not available.
F_SETLK found, fcntl locking available
Mail Transport Agents (sendmail, etc.) and Mail User Agents (Elm) can
use a variety of file locking protocols. Based on your system type,
usage of a network, and MTA/MUAs in use, you may want to configure more
than one of the following Mail Locking Protocols. It is recommended
that you use as many as are possible on your system to avoid problems.
All systems can support the dot locking method (.lock files).
Available locking protocols:
dot locking (.lock)
fcntl style locking
Would you like to use dot lock style mail spool locking? [y]
Would you like to use fcntl style mail spool locking? [y]
Non-mailbox locks will use the /usr/spool/uucp directory
Figuring out host name...
Maybe "hostname" will work...
Your host name appears to be "midas".
Is this correct? [y]
What is your domain name? [.UUCP] .example.net
gethostname() found.
Every now and then someone has a gethostname() that lies about the hostname
but can't be fixed for political or economic reasons. Would you like to
pretend gethostname() isn't there and maybe compile in the hostname? [n]
neither errlst object nor sys_errlist found, elm2.5 will use its own
Elm would like to use the systems definitions of the error messages for system
errors. These are usually contained in the global variables sys_errlist[] and
sys_nerr. If these do not exist, there is a standard list built into Elm.
Does the system support the sys_errlist[] global variable? [n] y
fsync() not found
ftruncate() found
getopt() found
Using string.h instead of strings.h
strchr() found.
Some systems run MMDF as their Mail Transport Agent. MMDF uses a
different way of delimiting messages in the mailbox files. Other
systems don't run MMDF but use the MMDF separator in their mailbox
files. The MMDF separator is usually a series of four Control A's.
elm2.5 needs to know if this system uses the MMDF style message
separator in its mailbox files.
Does this system use MMDF style message separator? [n] n
Give the full path name of the program used to deliver mail on your
system: [/usr/bin/sendmail] /usr/sbin/sendmail
Some newer mailers can deliver mail to addresses of the INTERNET
persuasion, such as user@host.domain. Other older mailers require the
complete uucp ! path to the destination to be specified in the address.
Does your mailer understand INTERNET addresses? [n] y
Elm has the ability to place a call to the GNU ispell spelling checker
on its post-message-entry/pre-message-send menu.
Configure has found ispell as /usr/bin/ispell
Should Elm add the ispell option to the pre-send menu? [y]
Give the name of the ispell program on your
system: [/usr/bin/ispell]
What options should Elm use with /usr/bin/ispell: [-x]
locale.h found, elm2.5 will call setlocale
nl_types.h found, elm2.5 will include the systems version
catgets() found
Message catalog routines found
The system has the message catalog routines in its library. These routines
are new, and on some systems do not function properly. Also, elm2.5 expects
that these routines are X/Open compliant.
Should elm2.5 use its own routines instead of the systems NLS routines? [n]
A lot of sites that install the Elm Mail System find that the function
E)dit mailbox from within Elm is dangerous and confusing. If you choose,
you can instead disable that function, with the program being slightly
smaller and presenting an appropriate error message to the user if they
try to E)dit their mailbox.
Would you like to enable the E)dit Mailbox function? [n]
memcpy() found
Elm supports the RFC-1521 Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME).
MIME allows you to use international character sets (not just US-ASCII)
in mail messages. MIME also allows multiple objects (binaries,
graphics, audio, video, PostScript, spreadsheets -- whatever!) to be
attached to mail messages. MIME does not require a graphic display,
but some of its neatest capabilities demand one.
Elm generates MIME messages on its own. To handle incoming MIME
messages, however, you need to install Nathaniel Borenstein's "metamail"
package on your system. The most recent version of "metamail" is
distributed from thumper.bellcore.com [128.96.41.1]. Additional
distribution points are available; consult an "archie" server.
You may choose to have Elm pass received MIME messages to "metamail".
Otherwise, if you do not have "metamail" (or you elect not to use
it), Elm can ignore the MIME attributes and display the message as-is.
I do not see "metamail" on this system.
Should Elm pass incoming MIME messages to "metamail"? [n] y
When composing outbound mail messages, Elm checks whether there are
any 8-bit "international" characters in the message. If not, the
message is labelled as "us-ascii". If there are, Elm needs to specify
the character set for the message. What international character set
do people on your system most commonly use? "iso-8859-1" is a common
selection, and is appropriate for many European languages. (The choice
you make here becomes the system default. Users that want a different
choice may set an "elmrc" value.)
Default for sending messages sent with int'l chars? [iso-8859-1]
When a message is received, Elm needs to know whether the terminal
can display the characters in the message, or if it needs to start up
"metamail". What character set does your terminals most commonly
handle? "iso-8859-1" is a common selection, and is appropriate for
many European languages. (Even VT-100 text terminals can do this.)
If your displays have no capability whatsoever, then select "us-ascii".
(The choice you make here becomes the system default. Users that want
a different choice may set an "elmrc" value.)
Default character set which could be displayed? [iso-8859-1]
mkdir() found
Newmail (Elm's utility to check for incoming mail) can be configured to
either run as a foreground process or as a process that automatically
forks and runs in the background.
Should newmail automatically run in the background? [y]
Are you running a machine where you want to have a domain name appended
to the hostname on outbound mail?
Would you like the domain name appended? [y] n
Does your mailer add the From: header for you? [n] y
Some sites do not like to see the mail header "X-mailer:" in outgoing
messages. If you choose, you may disable these headers. However, it
is strongly urged to leave these headers in the mail to assist in
tracking down problems.
Would you like to disable the X-mailer: headers? [n]
Checking to see if kill(pid, 0) works...
Your system supports kill(pid, 0)...
putenv() found
The next pair of questions have to do with what to do when another
program has locked a mailbox...
First, how many times should the Elm check for the removal of the lock
file before giving up?
Number of lock attempts: [6]
Should it REMOVE the lock file after 6 checks? [n]
rename() found
setegid() found
sigset() found
sigaction() found.
sigprocmask() found.
Some sites that install the Elm Mail System may not wish to enable the
S)tatus Change function, which permits users to change the status of
their messages arbitrarily from within Elm. If you choose, you can
instead disable that function, with the program being slightly smaller
and presenting an appropriate error message to users if they try to
invoke S)tatus Change to alter the status of their messages.
Would you like to enable the S)tatus Change function? [n]
strspn() found
strcspn() found
strpbrk() found
strerror() found
strftime() found
strstr() found
strtok() found
Some sites wish to disable the usage of the shell escape from Elm.
If you choose, you can disallow subshells from within Elm.
WARNING: This only controls Elm's usage of the ! command. Any pager
or editor could still allow subshells. It is also trivial to get a
subshell through manipulation of the pipe command or various option
settings. DO NOT rely on this as a security measure.
Would you like to allow the ! command (subshells)? [y]
symlink() found
tempnam() found
tcsetattr() found
You have POSIX termios.h... good!
One of the more annoying quirks of the UUCP network and various other
systems that interact with it are that everyone seems to have different
ideas about how to do routing, etc. Therefore, a lot of times e-mail
will arrive from off site with corrupt, unusable "Reply-To:" and "From:"
fields. This next question relates to whether your site is liable to
get mangled fields or not...
Does your site receive e-mail with valid "Reply-To:" and "From:" fields?
Use Reply-To: and From: addresses? [y]
getdomainname() found
The getdomainname system call was found. When running NIS, this usually
returns the NIS domain and not the mail domain. If this is the case,
it should not be used to obtain the domain name, and the domain name
should be compiled into the code, and the global elm.rc file should
be used to override the compiled in value.
If the getdomainname call does return the correct mail domain, it can
be used.
Should getdomainname() be used to obtain the mail domain? [n]
Testing to see if we should include <time.h>, <sys/time.h> or both.
I'm now running the test program...
Trying -DI_TIME -DI_SYSTIME -DS_TIMEVAL
Succeeded with -DI_TIME -DI_SYSTIME -DS_TIMEVAL
Found <utime.h>
Checking to see if struct utimbuf exists.
You have the 'utimbuf' structure...
vfork() found
Found <memory.h>
Did not find <stdarg.h>
Found <stdlib.h>
Found <unistd.h>
You have void (*signal())() instead of int.
Elm will provide a default subject for mail messages that are sent
in batch mode (redirected from a file.)
Default batch subject: [no subject (file transmission)]
Elm must be configured with a default editor. On most systems this may
be 'vi'. If you prefer to use some other, easier editor enter it here.
You will be given a change to provide command line options to this
command in the next question.
What is the default editor on your system? [/usr/bin/vi]
If this editor requires any options for proper use, specify them
here. To specify no options, enter the word "none". For example,
'pico' users will want to use the -t option. This is the proper
place to specify that option.
What options should Elm use with /usr/bin/vi: []
Where do you want to put the public executables? [/usr/local/bin] /usr/bin
What path do you want to use to install the public executables? [/usr/bin]
Elm needs a place to store its support files. This includes things
such as configuration and help information. They are all readable
text files, that may be shared across machines.
Where do you want to put the support files? [/usr/local/lib] /var/lib/elm
What path do you want to use to install the public files? [/var/lib/elm]
Elm has an option to send messages to the printer. This question
asks for the default spooler name. You can also specify options to
the command by separating them from the command by at least one space.
What print spooler do you prefer to use with Elm? [/usr/bin/lp]
Where is yet-to-be-read mail spooled? [/usr/spool/mail] /var/mail
Mail group is mail
Elm needs to be installed and run as a setgid program only if the mail
spool directory permissions do not allow world write access. If your
mail spool directory has the permissions:
drwxrwxr-x 3 root mail 512 Dec 24 17:20 /usr/mail
then Elm must be setgid to the same group as the mail spool directory
(in this case group mail). However, if the spool permissions look
like:
drwxrwsrwt 2 root staff 512 Dec 21 20:14 /usr/spool/mail
then Elm should not be installed or run as a setgid program.
Am I going to be running as a setgid program? [y] n
What pager do you prefer to use with elm2.5? [builtin+]
Give the full path name of the shell most people like to use on your
system: [/bin/ksh] /bin/bash
Checking how to generate random libraries on your machine...
ar appears to generate random libraries itself.
remote tape drive is unknown-remote-tape-unit
Looking for your termlib routines...
Trying -lcurses...
That seems to work.
Enter the name of the library that contains your termlib routines.
Either "-lfoo" or "/lib/foo.a" format is OK.
Enter "none" if no special library needs to be loaded.
Where is the library with your termlib routines? [-lcurses] -lncurses
Where do you want to put the temporary files? [/tmp]
Figuring out how to get timezone names.
Trying -DTZNAME_USE_TM_NAME
Trying -DTZNAME_USE_TM_ZONE
Alright! That seems to have worked.
End of configuration questions.
Creating config.sh...
If you didn't make any mistakes, then just type a carriage return here.
If you need to edit config.sh, do it as a shell escape here:
