Subject: Adding a new file
I wish to add a new "Read.me" file to sendmail.
The source for the file will exist in one directory, but the
resulting file should be installed in another directory. How
do I go about doing this? I checked the existing build makefile,
mimic'd it, and tried executing a "build" as well as a "build install".
Can you please direct me how to modify the file, as well as verify
that it is being done correctly?
/Bob

Subject: Re: Adding a new file
I think the answer to your immediate question is something like this:
1) locate the DATAFILES line in the Makefile and add Read.me to the end
of the list of files.
2) Using the file name as a modifier, add an IDIR directive to specify
where the Read.me file is to be installed on the output hierarchy. You can
similarly use IOWNER and IMODE to control these characteristics of the file.
Results will probably look something like this:
DATAFILES = sendmail.cf sendmail.hf aliases sendmail.st
Read.me
Read.me_IDIR = /destination_directory/
Read.me_IOWNER = root
Read.me_IMODE = 644
You should be able to exercise these functions in the Makefile with the
combination "build build_all" and "build install_all
TOSTAGE=/outputdir" to see what will happen during the full build. The
install step must be run as root or certain operations will fail, but
seeing them attempted may satisfy you that you've succeeded.
