NAME
makedefs - Postfix makefile configuration utility
SYNOPSIS
make makefiles name=value...
DESCRIPTION
The makedefs command identifies the compilation environment, and emits macro definitions
on the standard output stream that can be prepended to template Makefiles. These macros
implement an internal interface and are subject to change without notice.
NAME=VALUE OVERRIDES
Default settings can be overruled by specifying them as environment variables (or as
name=value pairs on the "make" command line). Use quotes if variables contain whitespace
or shell meta characters.
The command "make makefiles name=value..." will replace the string MAIL_VERSION at the end
of a value with the Postfix version (major.minor.patchlevel for a stable release,
major.minor-date for a development release). Do not try to specify something like
$mail_version: that produces inconsistent results with different implementations of the
make(1) command.
AUXLIBS=object_library...
Specifies one or more non-default object libraries. Postfix 3.0 and later specify
some of their database library dependencies with AUXLIBS_CDB, AUXLIBS_LDAP,
AUXLIBS_LMDB, AUXLIBS_MYSQL, AUXLIBS_PCRE, AUXLIBS_PGSQL, AUXLIBS_SDBM, and
AUXLIBS_SQLITE, respectively.
CC=compiler_command
Specifies a non-default compiler. On many systems, the default is gcc.
CCARGS=compiler_arguments
Specifies non-default compiler arguments, for example, a non-default include
directory. The following directives are special:
-DNO_DB
Do not build with Berkeley DB support.
-DNO_DEVPOLL
Do not build with Solaris /dev/poll support. By default, /dev/poll support
is compiled in on platforms that are known to support it.
-DNO_DNSSEC
Do not build with DNSSEC support, even if the resolver library appears to
support it.
-DNO_EPOLL
Do not build with Linux EPOLL support. By default, EPOLL support is
compiled in on platforms that are known to support it.
-DNO_EAI
Do not build with EAI (SMTPUTF8) support. By default, EAI support is
compiled in when the "pkg-config" command is found, or the deprecated
"icu-config" command.
-DNO_INLINE
Do not require support for C99 "inline" functions. Instead, implement
argument typechecks for non-(printf/scanf)-like functions with ternary
operators and unreachable code.
-DNO_IPV6
Do not build with IPv6 support. By default, IPv6 support is compiled in on
platforms that are known to have IPv6 support.
Note: this directive is for debugging and testing only. It is not guaranteed
to work on all platforms. If you don't want IPv6 support, set
"inet_protocols = ipv4" in main.cf.
-DNO_IP_CYRUS_SASL_AUTH
Don't pass remote SMTP client and Postfix SMTP server IP address and port
information to the Cyrus SASL library. This is compatible with Postfix <
3.2.
-DNO_KQUEUE
Do not build with FreeBSD/NetBSD/OpenBSD/MacOSX KQUEUE support. By default,
KQUEUE support is compiled in on platforms that are known to support it.
-DNO_NIS
Do not build with NIS or NISPLUS support. Support for NIS is unavailable on
some recent Linux distributions.
-DNO_NISPLUS
Do not build with NISPLUS support. Support for NISPLUS is unavailable on
some recent Solaris distributions.
-DNO_PCRE
Do not build with PCRE support. By default, PCRE support is compiled in
when the pcre-config utility is installed.
-DNO_POSIX_GETPW_R
Disable support for POSIX getpwnam_r/getpwuid_r.
-DNO_SIGSETJMP
Use setjmp()/longjmp() instead of sigsetjmp()/siglongjmp(). By default,
Postfix uses sigsetjmp()/siglongjmp() when they appear to work.
-DNO_SNPRINTF
Use sprintf() instead of snprintf(). By default, Postfix uses snprintf()
except on ancient systems.
DEBUG=debug_level
Specifies a non-default debugging level. The default is -g. Specify DEBUG= to turn
off debugging.
OPT=optimization_level
Specifies a non-default optimization level. The default is -O. Specify OPT= to
turn off optimization.
POSTFIX_INSTALL_OPTS=-option...
Specifies options for the postfix-install command, separated by whitespace.
Currently, the only supported option is -keep-build-mtime.
SHLIB_CFLAGS=flags
Override the compiler flags (typically, "-fPIC") for Postfix dynamically-linked
libraries and database plugins.
This feature was introduced with Postfix 3.0.
SHLIB_RPATH=rpath
Override the runpath (typically, "'-Wl,-rpath,${SHLIB_DIR}'") for Postfix
dynamically-linked libraries.
This feature was introduced with Postfix 3.0.
SHLIB_SUFFIX=suffix
Override the filename suffix (typically, ".so") for Postfix dynamically-linked
libraries and database plugins.
This feature was introduced with Postfix 3.0.
shared=yes
shared=no
Enable (disable) Postfix builds with dynamically-linked libraries typically named
$shlib_directory/libpostfix-*.so.*.
This feature was introduced with Postfix 3.0.
dynamicmaps=yes
dynamicmaps=no
Enable (disable) Postfix builds with the configuration file
$meta_directory/dynamicmaps.cf and dynamically-loadable database plugins typically
named postfix-*.so.*. The setting "dynamicmaps=yes" implicitly enables Postfix
dynamically-linked libraries.
This feature was introduced with Postfix 3.0.
pie=yes
pie=no Enable (disable) Postfix builds with position-independent executables, on platforms
where this is supported.
This feature was introduced with Postfix 3.0.
installation_parameter=value...
Override the compiled-in default value of the specified installation parameter(s).
The following parameters are supported in this context:
command_directory config_directory daemon_directory data_directory
default_database_type html_directory mail_spool_directory mailq_path
manpage_directory meta_directory newaliases_path queue_directory readme_directory
sendmail_path shlib_directory openssl_path
See the postconf(5) manpage for a description of these parameters.
This feature was introduced with Postfix 3.0.
WARN=warning_flags
Specifies non-default gcc compiler warning options for use when "make" is invoked
in a source subdirectory only.
