10<b><a name="name">NAME</a></b>
11       makedefs - Postfix makefile configuration utility
12
13<b><a name="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</a></b>
14       <b>make makefiles</b> <i>name=value...</i>
15
16<b><a name="description">DESCRIPTION</a></b>
17       The  <b>makedefs</b> command identifies the compilation environment, and emits
18       macro definitions on the standard output stream that can  be  prepended
19       to  template  Makefiles.   These macros implement an internal interface
20       and are subject to change without notice.
21
22<b>NAME=VALUE OVERRIDES</b>
23       Default settings can be overruled by  specifying  them  as  environment
24       variables  (or  as  name=value  pairs  on the "make" command line). Use
25       quotes if variables contain whitespace or shell meta characters.
26
27       The command "<b>make makefiles  name=value...</b>"  will  replace  the  string
28       <b>MAIL_VERSION</b>   at   the  end  of  a  value  with  the  Postfix  version
29       (<i>major.minor.patchlevel</i> for a stable release,  <i>major.minor-date</i>  for  a
30       development  release).  Do not try to specify something like <b>$<a href="postconf.5.html#mail_version">mail_ver</a>-</b>
31       <b><a href="postconf.5.html#mail_version">sion</a></b>: that produces inconsistent results with different implementations
32       of the make(1) command.
33
34       <b>AUXLIBS=</b><i>object</i><b>_</b><i>library...</i>
35              Specifies  one or more non-default object libraries. Postfix 3.0
36              and later specify some of their  database  library  dependencies
37              with  <a href="CDB_README.html">AUXLIBS_CDB</a>,  <a href="LDAP_README.html">AUXLIBS_LDAP</a>, <a href="LMDB_README.html">AUXLIBS_LMDB</a>, <a href="MONGODB_README.html">AUXLIBS_MONGODB</a>,
38              <a href="MYSQL_README.html">AUXLIBS_MYSQL</a>, <a href="PCRE_README.html">AUXLIBS_PCRE</a>,  <a href="PGSQL_README.html">AUXLIBS_PGSQL</a>,  AUXLIBS_SDBM,  and
39              <a href="SQLITE_README.html">AUXLIBS_SQLITE</a>, respectively.
40
41       <b>CC=</b><i>compiler</i><b>_</b><i>command</i>
42              Specifies  a  non-default compiler. On many systems, the default
43              is <b>gcc</b>.
44
45       <b>CCARGS=</b><i>compiler</i><b>_</b><i>arguments</i>
46              Specifies  non-default  compiler  arguments,  for   example,   a
47              non-default  <i>include</i>  directory.   The  following directives are
48              special:
49
50              <b>-DNO_CLOSEFROM</b>
51                     Do not use the system closefom() implementation.
52
53              <b>-DNO_DB</b>
54                     Do not build with Berkeley DB support.
55
56              <b>-DNO_DEVPOLL</b>
57                     Do not build with Solaris /dev/poll support.  By default,
58                     /dev/poll  support  is  compiled in on platforms that are
59                     known to support it.
60
61              <b>-DNO_DNSSEC</b>
62                     Do not build with DNSSEC support, even  if  the  resolver
63                     library appears to support it.
64
65              <b>-DNO_EPOLL</b>
66                     Do not build with Linux EPOLL support.  By default, EPOLL
67                     support is compiled in on platforms  that  are  known  to
68                     support it.
69
70              <b>-DNO_EAI</b>
71                     Do not build with EAI (SMTPUTF8) support. By default, EAI
72                     support is compiled in when the "pkgconf" or "pkg-config"
73                     command  are  found,  or the deprecated "icu-config" com-
74                     mand.
75
76              <b>-DNO_INLINE</b>
77                     Do  not  require  support  for  C99  "inline"  functions.
78                     Instead,     implement     argument     typechecks    for
79                     non-(printf/scanf)-like functions with ternary  operators
80                     and unreachable code.
81
82              <b>-DNO_IPV6</b>
83                     Do not build with IPv6 support.  By default, IPv6 support
84                     is compiled in on platforms that are known to  have  IPv6
85                     support.
86
87                     Note:  this  directive is for debugging and testing only.
88                     It is not guaranteed to work on  all  platforms.  If  you
89                     don't  want  IPv6 support, set "<a href="postconf.5.html#inet_protocols">inet_protocols</a> = ipv4" in
90                     <a href="postconf.5.html">main.cf</a>.
91
92              <b>-DNO_IP_CYRUS_SASL_AUTH</b>
93                     Don't pass remote SMTP client and Postfix SMTP server  IP
94                     address  and  port information to the Cyrus SASL library.
95                     This is compatible with Postfix &lt; 3.2.
96
97              <b>-DNO_KQUEUE</b>
98                     Do not build  with  FreeBSD/NetBSD/OpenBSD/MacOSX  KQUEUE
99                     support.   By  default,  KQUEUE support is compiled in on
100                     platforms that are known to support it.
101
102              <b>-DNO_NIS</b>
103                     Do not build with NIS or NISPLUS support. Support for NIS
104                     is unavailable on some recent Linux distributions.
105
106              <b>-DNO_NISPLUS</b>
107                     Do not build with NISPLUS support. Support for NISPLUS is
108                     unavailable on some recent Solaris distributions.
109
110              <b>-DNO_PCRE</b>
111                     Do not build with PCRE support.  By default, PCRE support
112                     is compiled in when the <b>pcre2-config</b> or <b>pcre-config</b> util-
113                     ity are installed.
114
115              <b>-DNO_POSIX_GETPW_R</b>
116                     Disable support for POSIX getpwnam_r/getpwuid_r.
117
118              <b>-DNO_RES_NCALLS</b>
119                     Do  not  build  with  the  threadsafe   resolver(5)   API
120                     (res_ninit() etc.).
121
122              <b>-DNO_SIGSETJMP</b>
123                     Use   setjmp()/longjmp()   instead   of  sigsetjmp()/sig-
124                     longjmp().  By  default,  Postfix  uses  sigsetjmp()/sig-
125                     longjmp() when they appear to work.
126
127              <b>-DNO_SNPRINTF</b>
128                     Use  sprintf() instead of snprintf(). By default, Postfix
129                     uses snprintf() except on ancient systems.
130
131       <b>DEBUG=</b><i>debug</i><b>_</b><i>level</i>
132              Specifies a non-default debugging  level.  The  default  is  <b>-g</b>.
133              Specify <b>DEBUG=</b> to turn off debugging.
134
135       <b>OPT=</b><i>optimization</i><b>_</b><i>level</i>
136              Specifies  a  non-default optimization level. The default is <b>-O</b>.
137              Specify <b>OPT=</b> to turn off optimization.
138
139       <b>POSTFIX_INSTALL_OPTS=</b><i>-option...</i>
140              Specifies options for the postfix-install command, separated  by
141              whitespace.    Currently,   the   only   supported   option   is
142              <b>-keep-build-mtime</b>.
143
144       <b>SHLIB_CFLAGS=</b><i>flags</i>
145              Override the compiler flags  (typically,  "-fPIC")  for  Postfix
146              dynamically-linked libraries and database plugins.
147
148              This feature was introduced with Postfix 3.0.
149
150       <b>SHLIB_RPATH=</b><i>rpath</i>
151              Override  the  runpath  (typically, "'-Wl,-rpath,${SHLIB_DIR}'")
152              for Postfix dynamically-linked libraries.
153
154              This feature was introduced with Postfix 3.0.
155
156       <b>SHLIB_SUFFIX=</b><i>suffix</i>
157              Override the filename  suffix  (typically,  ".so")  for  Postfix
158              dynamically-linked libraries and database plugins.
159
160              This feature was introduced with Postfix 3.0.
161
162       <b>shared=yes</b>
163
164       <b>shared=no</b>
165              Enable   (disable)   Postfix   builds   with  dynamically-linked
166              libraries typically named $<a href="postconf.5.html#shlib_directory">shlib_directory</a>/libpostfix-*.so.*.
167
168              This feature was introduced with Postfix 3.0.
169
170       <b>dynamicmaps=yes</b>
171
172       <b>dynamicmaps=no</b>
173              Enable (disable) Postfix  builds  with  the  configuration  file
174              $<a href="postconf.5.html#meta_directory">meta_directory</a>/dynamicmaps.cf and dynamically-loadable database
175              plugins typically named  postfix-*.so.*.   The  setting  "dynam-
176              icmaps=yes"   implicitly   enables   Postfix  dynamically-linked
177              libraries.
178
179              This feature was introduced with Postfix 3.0.
180
181       <b>pie=yes</b>
182
183       <b>pie=no</b> Enable (disable) Postfix builds with  position-independent  exe-
184              cutables, on platforms where this is supported.
185
186              This feature was introduced with Postfix 3.0.
187
188       <i>installation</i><b>_</b><i>parameter</i><b>=</b><i>value</i>...
189              Override  the compiled-in default value of the specified instal-
190              lation parameter(s). The following parameters are  supported  in
191              this context:
