Hi,
I'm attempting to install mailman 1.0 on a Mac OS X server and managed to install Python (1.5.2) without too many problems and I ran the ./configure script.
When I get to the the "make install" stage for mailman it starts chugging along merrily until we get to the following sequence
for f in answer_majordomo_mail mailcmd mailowner post driver;
do
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 $f /Local/Applications/mailman/scripts;
done cc -c -I. -DPREFIX="\"/Local/Applications/mailman\"" -DPYTHON="\"/usr/local/bin/python\"" -DHELPFUL -g -O2 -DHAVE_STRERROR=1 -DHAVE_SETREGID=1 -DHAVE_SYSLOG=1 -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DHAVE_SYSLOG_H=1 -DGETGROUPS_T=gid_t -DHAVE_VSNPRINTF=1 ./common.c ./common.c:26:PREFIX' undeclared here (not in a function) ./common.c:26:scripts' undeclared here (not in a function) ./common.c:26: parse error before `;' make[1]: *** [common.o] Error 1 make: *** [install] Error 2
Well I had a look at common.c and there are these lines which appear to cause the problem
#define SCRIPTDIR PREFIX ## "/scripts/" /* trailing slash */ #define MODULEDIR PREFIX /* no trailing slash */
const char* scriptdir = SCRIPTDIR; [note this line is line 26]
PREFIX does not appear to be an environment variable and it is not explicitly set in common.h
I know this is kind of scratchy stuff but any clues on what to do from here?
Greetings, Thomas
