Command Explanations
patch -Np1 -i
../pine-4.64-utf8-1.patch: This patch enables Pine
UTF-8 and charset conversion.
sed -i "s@/usr/ ... /lib/pine
*): This sed will make Pine use /etc
for configuration files. It also alters the documentation to
reflect that.
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.
