Courier-IMAP requires the installation of the Courier Authentication Library

Courier Authentication Library

Download and untar courier-authlib in your favorite sandbox. Version used: 0.61.0

The package compilation fails, due to:

1. incorrect usage of EXEEXT in makedat/Makefile
2. missing crypt library in main Makefile

To correct the first issue, apply the following [{{#file:courrier-authlib-061.0-cygwin.patch}} patch] before configuration.

Configure the package without most authentication modules keeping only userdb. Replace mailuser by an existing user name (in you /etc/passwd file). Note: 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 --enable-shared=no

Take a long pause... and when ready execute the following command. The LDFLAGS and LIBS variables are used to correct the 2nd issue.

$ make LDFLAGS=-lcrypt LIBS=-lcrypt

During some test I also encounter a compilation error complaining about function res_query (See http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-04/msg00926.html for details). You'll need to change the script configure to include <sys/types.h> before <netinet/in.h> in the section testing res_query. TODO: provide a patch.

Maildir
