Hi,

FTR, all three of your posts relate to procmail-dev, whereas you posted to 
the procmail _users_ list.  Certainly, the procmail-dev list hasn't seen 
much (if any) traffic in a while.

Sorry ;-o 
Where can I find the dev list ?

BTW: does it make much sense to have separate lists as long as the
traffic is that low ?

non-interactive build:
      The build process prompts for the locking test - but that 
      specifically has a block of text explaining that you can supress it 
using 
LOCKINGTEST in the makefile.  Editing the makefile to set the locking mode, 
rather than having the build dynamically check for the supported modes 
should make the build as "non-interactive" as you might hope.

hmm, having to edit the Makefile is IMHO not a good idea ;-o
I'd prefer something like a GNU-compatible ./configure script. Maybe 
I'll find some time to hack it up ...

      Is there some specific interraction issue that isn't clearly 
      documented that you're having an issue with?

Yes, ./autoconf reads from stdin at some points.

VCS:
      No, not a public one at least (Philip Guenther, who is the present 
maintainer, may have a VCS somewhere, but it isn't public).  

Maybe we should set up an git repo.
BTW: I'm already maintaining my own branches in git:

    git://pubgit.metux.de/oss-qm/procmail.git

crosscompiling -
      If you're crosscompiling, you obviously need to have an environment
which provides the necessary libraries, etc, for the system which you are 
compiling for.  That setup is beyond the scope of procmail itself - you can 
certainly script to build targets in multiple directories, but that's 
something you'll need to deal with.

The main problem is: src/autoconf tries to compile *and* run several 
binaries, which of course is impossible on crosscompiling.
