Recommended Patch: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/downloads/6.1/pine-4.63-fhs-1.patch
Install Pine by running the following commands:
patch -Np1 -i ../pine-4.63-fhs-3.patch &&
./build DEBUG=-O MAILSPOOL=/var/mail \
SSLDIR=/usr SSLCERTS=/etc/ssl/certs slx
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
cp -v doc/*.1 /usr/share/man/man1 &&
cd bin &&
install -v -m755 pine imapd ipop2d ipop3d mailutil mtest pico \
pilot rpdump rpload /usr/bin
patch -Np1 -i ../pine-4.63-fhs-x.patch: This patch will make Pine use /etc for configuration files.
The build procedure for Pine is somewhat unusual, in that options usually passed as ./configure options or housed in $CFLAGS must all be passed on the command line to the ./build script.
./build slx: Pine offers quite a few target platforms, slx specifies Linux using -lcrypt to get the crypt function. See the doc/pine-ports file for more information and other authentication options.
DEBUG=-O: This flag compiles an optimized version of pine and pico that produces no debug files.
MAILSPOOL=/var/mail: Location of mail spool files, /var/mail.
SSLDIR=/usr SSLCERTS=/etc/ssl/certs: Location of OpenSSL files.
cd bin && install ... /usr/bin: This installs the Pine programs.
