Postfix - Compiling/Building from scratch

[ChochkoBG]

I'm sorry about using your forum about Postfix module, but the Operation System that you or/and your Team created is more complicated than the rest of the Linux OS.

I think you and your team can help me and solve the problem, because the chance is bigger if i write in the Postfix Community.

And again about reading the Manuals i did it a few times. The manuals do not include Special Manuals how to compile it SPECIAL for TinyCore.

About the "make makefiles" command, yes.. i also did this command.
The error is the same:

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~/postfix-3.0.0$ make makefiles
make -f Makefile.in MAKELEVEL= Makefiles
(echo "# Do not edit -- this file documents how Postfix was built for your machine."; /bin/sh makedefs) >makedefs.tmp
No <db.h> include file found.
Install the appropriate db*-devel package first.
Makefile.in:31: recipe for target 'Makefiles' failed
make: *** [Makefiles] Error 1
Makefile:21: recipe for target 'makefiles' failed
make: *** [makefiles] Error 2
tc@box:~/postfix-3.0.0$
I think the main problem with making/compiling and the rest of the Operations are, because this distribution is so small, so a lot of libraries (core and module libraries) are missing.
Basically they are not missing, but they are not in use and not added to save space (this is the Unique in the TC).

Anyway in future after solving the problem, maybe other users will be interested of reading this topic, so i'm so sad cause till now i have a lot of spam in my topic.

So please, let me use this forum and if you are able to help me just do it.

Thanks!!!

The forum is here to help people with Core and the applications found in the repo.
Postfix is not in the repo.
If you have a question related to Core, we will be happy to help, but this is not a Postfix forum, and blogging is not allowed.

Problems reported are not TC related, you get it on simple and easy to use system like Redhat building source.

what's the TC's db devel package?

[gerald_clark]

lepomis, do not hijack other peoples threads, and do not post unrelated content.

Hi Gerald what's the hijacking in this case? Generally admins want people to use other people threads instead of creating many threads on the same thing.

What's the unrelated content? I asked about TC packages.

Your question has no apparent relation to the subject of this thread which is about compiling postfix.
If your question was actually "the same thing", you would have no need to post it, as you could follow instructions already given which was
that "this topic is not TC related"
