Assuming that the system on which you are building has a decent
libc and a libncurses, there should be many exteranl
dependencies. On my boxen, I get:
$ ldd /usr/local/bin/mutt
libncurses.so.5 => /usr/local/lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x4001c000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4005e000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
and:
$ ldd /usr/local/bin/mutt-1.3.22.1
libsocket.so.1 => /usr/lib/libsocket.so.1
libnsl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1
libc.so.1 => /usr/lib/libc.so.1
libdl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.1
libmp.so.2 => /usr/lib/libmp.so.2
/usr/platform/SUNW,UltraSPARC-IIi-cEngine/lib/libc_psr.so.1
(Linux and Solaris, repsecitvely). It looks like all of the
required files are from the system itself (other than mutt
itself).
So, build mutt with --prefix=/where/yor/isp/has/their/mutt/installed
and just copy your resulting binary to ~/bin (don't run make
install) so you can piggyback off their installed files.
