I am trying to compile 3.11pre7 (mostly for a learning exercise). I've
changed the BASENAME in the Makefile file and changed MAILSPOOLDIR and
MAILSPOOLHOME early in authenticate.c . When I compile the program, it
still uses "/var/spool/user" instead of "$HOME/.mailbox/inbox" as I'd
hoped. Can someone point me to where else I need to fix the mail spool
assignment? Thanks!
It sounds like you forgot to uncomment the MAILSPOOLHOME #define. It
should say:
#define MAILSPOOLHOME "/.mailbox/inbox" /* watch the leading / */
/* delivers to $HOME/.mail */
Note how the line starts with "#define" and not "/*#define".
