Install Pine by running the following commands:
patch -Np1 -i ../pine-4.56-fhs.patch && ./build slx MAILSPOOL='/var/mail' \ SSLDIR=/usr SSLCERTS=/etc/ssl/certs && cp doc/pine.1 doc/pico.1 doc/rpdump.1 doc/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-4.56-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.
MAILSPOOL='/var/mail': Location of mail spool files, /var/mail.
cd bin && install pine imapd ipop2d ipop3d mailutil mtest pico pilot rpdump \ rpload /usr/bin |
The Pine package contains pine, pico, pilot, imapd, ipop2d, ipop3d, mtest, rpload and rpdump.
