Actually the program is not needed. One needs to fix configure.in and
Makefile.am. I am giving an example what should be in Makefile.am. This is
from a extremely hacked version of vpopmail. I am generating both rpm as
well as source installation.
The userid is needed only to figure out the home directory where vpopmail
needs to be installed. This can be fixed by changing configure.in
FILE - Makefile.am
install-data-local: initsvc libvpopmail.la vpopma...@version@-rpmlintrc
indimail.spec
if [ " $(DESTDIR)" = " " ] ; then \
if test `...@idcommand@` != "0" ; then \
echo "you are not root"; \
exit 1; \
fi ; \
echo "Shutting down vpopmail"; \
svc -d /service/*; \
fi;
# This is the last step in vpopmail installation. Post this installation
will start in qmail
# Hence we still cannot start svscan.

$(INSTALL_DATA) config.h $(DESTDIR)@prefix@/include/indimail_config.h ||
