The devtools Directory
The devtools directory contains all the scripts and m4(1) source used to build sendmail and its libraries and companion programs. The README file there briefly describes the m4 macros used to configure your build process. We describe the current macros in Compile-Time Macro Reference on page 108. You should consult this file whenever a new release is issued because it will always have the most up-to-date information.
The devtools/Site directory is
the default location for your
m4 build configuration files.
The README in that directory
describes the strategy used to locate a build
configuration file. Note that the -f command-line switch
(-f on page 350) for the
Build command can override
use of that directory. Also note that the -Q command-line switch
(-Q on page 352) for the
Build command modifies the
way an m4 file is found.
