Courier-Cygwin
Courier-IMAP
Courier-IMAP requires the installation of the Courier Authentication Library and the following cygwin tools and packages
- patch, tar, make, gcc
- crypt
- libgdbm-devel
- inetutils
- cygrunsrv
Courier Authentication Library
Download and untar courier-authlib in your favorite sandbox. Version used: 0.61.0
The package compilation fails, due to:
- incorrect usage of EXEEXT in makedat/Makefile
- missing crypt library in main Makefile
The package installation fails, due to:
- incorrect or incompatible (text-)format of install library files (*.la). Unix like library name (as provided by 'dlname') are not used under cygwin. Hence skip the related operation in the installation.
To correct the first compilation issue and the installation error, apply the following [{{#file:courrier-authlib-0.61.0-cygwin.patch}} patch] before configuration.

Install the patch
$ patch -Np1 < courrier-authlib-0.61.0-cygwin.patch
Configure the package without most authentication modules, keeping only userdb.
Note: replace mailuser by an existing user name (in your /etc/passwd file). I used my own username.
$ ./configure --disable-root-check --with-waitfunc=wait --without-authpam --without-authldap --without-authpwd \ --without-authshadow --without-custom --without-authpipe --without-authmysql --without-authpgsql --with-mailuser=mailuser \ --with-mailgroup=mkgroup-l-d
Take a long pause... and when ready execute the following command. The LDFLAGS and LIBS variables are used to correct the second issue.
$ make LDFLAGS=-lcrypt LIBS=-lcrypt
Take again a long pause... and install the libraries with the usual
$ make install
Compilation and installation
