Install Pine by running the following commands:
patch -Np1 -i ../pine-4.58-fhs.patch &&
./build DEBUG=-O MAILSPOOL=/var/mail \
SSLDIR=/usr SSLCERTS=/etc/ssl/certs slx &&
cp doc/{pine,pico,rpdump,rpload}.1 /usr/share/man/man1 &&
cd bin &&
install pine imapd ipop2d ipop3d mailutil mtest pico pilot rpdump \
rpload /usr/bin |
patch -Np1 -i ../pine-4.58-fhs.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 pine imapd ipop2d ipop3d mailutil mtest pico pilot rpdump \ rpload /usr/bin |
~/.pinerc
