Compiler
Compiling mutt requires an ANSI/ISO C compiler. The bundled compiler
on HP-UX 10.20 is a broken K&R C compiler. You either need to buy an
ANSI compiler off HP, or install gcc.
Make
HP's make tool is broken. I suggest you install GNU make.
Compiling: you get the mutt tarball and unpack it:
gzip -dc mutt-0.95.6i.tar.gz | tar xf -
This requires a copy of gzip in your path.
Then cd to mutt-0.95.6 and run './configure --help' to get a list of
supported configuration options. Of interest are
--prefix=PREFIX install architecture-independent files in PREFIX [/usr/local]
--with-slang[=DIR] use S-Lang instead of ncurses
--with-curses=DIR ncurses is installed in
It is recommended to use one of these options. Both require that the
respective software is installed before mutt.
--enable-pop Enable POP3 support
--enable-imap Enable IMAP support
May be wanted.
--enable-flock Use flock() to lock files
--disable-fcntl Do NOT use fcntl() to lock files
--disable-warnings turn off compiler warnings (not recommended)
--enable-nfs-fix Work around an NFS with broken attributes caching
--enable-buffy-size Use file size attribute instead of access time
--enable-locales-fix The result of isprint() is unreliable
--disable-nls do not use Native Language Support
Zero or more of these options may be necessary on your system.
All these options are described in more detail in the INSTALL file in
mutt's top level directory. Also, reading doc/manual.txt may be a
good idea.
Once you have decided which configure option to use,
$ ./configure <options>
If gcc is installed, configure will use it by default.
$ make
$ make install
The latter step may require root or other sysadmin privileges.
HTH.
