Compiling DRAC

DRAC is now incorporated into Debian Linux. You don't need to compile it from source for this version of Linux. See the following for more information:

It should only be necessary to edit the Makefile before compiling DRAC. After making the necessary changes, just run 'make' to compile the DRAC daemon, the client library, and a test DRAC client.

You must compile DRAC with the same version of the Berkeley db package that was used to compile your copy of sendmail. This may not be the default version that is currently installed on your system. One way to determine this is:

	$ strings /usr/lib/sendmail | grep -i sleepy

The descriptions below assume that you have compiled but not installed the db package. If you have installed the db include files and db library in a standard location, you don't need to specify paths to them. If you have more than one version of the db package on your system, you must specify the paths to ensure that DRAC is linked with the same one as sendmail. If your compiler is not called 'cc', change that in the Makefile as well.

The '-C' option of rpcgen is now supported. This option tells rpcgen to generate output files containing ANSI C declarations. Use this if your C compiler complains about function arguments not matching prototypes. Two Makefile changes are required...

DEFS = ... -DDASH_C
RPCGENFLAGS = -C

By default, DRAC produces a DB file format that is compatible with sendmail. To adapt it to postfix, make the following addition to Makefile...

DEFS = ... -DTERM_KD

To adapt it to exim, add this to Makefile...

DEFS = ... -DTERM_KD -DREQ_HASH -DCIDR_KEY
