hi,
i'm doing a 1st build of dovecot in a freebsd 62R jail.
following instructions at
http://wiki.dovecot.org/CompilingSource
./configure
make
sudo make install
after an OK 'configure', @ 'make', i get
make
make all-recursive
Making all in src
Making all in lib
make: don't know how to make unicodemap.c. Stop
*** Error code 1
Stop in /s/usr-local/build/dovecot/dovecot/src.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /s/usr-local/build/dovecot/dovecot.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /s/usr-local/build/dovecot/dovecot.
looking at source, i couldn't figure this out ...
on a whim, i tried 'gmake', instead of 'make'. it completes without error.
subsequent
make check
make install
are both ok, resulting in
ls -al dovecot
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 459786 Dec 30 21:53 dovecot*
./dovecot --version
1.1.beta13
on FreeBSD, apparently, make != gmake
ls -al `which make` `which gmake`

This program built for amd64-portbld-freebsd6.2
so, using 'gmake' seems to solve the issue.
neither at the link above, nor at,
http://wiki.dovecot.org/DovecotServerInstallations/FreeBSD/6.0RELEASE/20Users?highlight=(freebsd)
is the use of 'gmake'mentioned.
i'd ask/suggest that either said mention be added to the wiki (if it's
not already there, and i missed it), or, that the build be made to be
FreeBSD-make friendly.
hth.
cheers!
