Configuring INN 2.X to work in BSD/OS

For BSD/OS 4.X , you can use:



CC=/usr/bin/cc CFLAGS="-g -O3 -Wall" ./configure --prefix=/var/news --libexecdir=/var/news/libexec --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/var/news/etc --localstatedir=/var --infodir=/usr/share/info --mandir=/usr/share/man --with-db-dir=/var/news/etc --with-run-dir=/var/news/run --with-etc-dir=/var/news/etc --with-spool-dir=/var/news/spool --with-log-dir=/var/log/news --with-news-user=bin --with-news-group=news --with-low-memory --with-openssl=/usr/contrib --with-berkeleydb=/usr/contrib --with-sendmail=/usr/sbin/sendmail --enable-ipv6 --enable-largefiles --without-pam --with-sasl=/usr/contrib --without-kerberos --with-innd-port=119



For 5.X Please use --with-openssl=/usr



NOte that the file structure compilation is based on the old BSD/OS pre 4.X .



I am using ovdb and cnfs. Lovely pair.

Openssl 0.9.7

Thank you http://www.openssl.org for making a correction.



to configure OpenSSL for BSD/OS you need to use the following configuation command:



./Configure threads shared zlib-dynamic debug --prefix=/usr/contrib --openssldir=/usr/contrib bsdi-elf-gcc "-g -O3 -Wall -march=i686"
