Sendmail compiling problem

Amar Batham — Thu, 07 Feb 2002 13:24:43 GMT

Hello
I have a HP 9000 server with HP 11.0 and gcc 2.9 installed. I need to install sendmail on my machine. I have downloaded sendmail 8.12.2 . following are the steps i take and
the error message that comes up

cd sendmail-8.12.2.sendmail
./Build

(Bundled) cc: warning 480: The -A option is available only with the C/ANSI C product; ignored.
(Bundled) cc: warning 480: The +O2 option is available only with the C/ANSI C product; ignored.
cpp: "../../include/sm/gen.h", line 42: error 4036: Can't open include file 'stddef.h'.
cpp: "assert.c", line 20: error 4036: Can't open include file 'stdlib.h'.
cpp: "../../include/sm/io.h", line 24: error 4036: Can't open include file 'stdio.h'.
cpp: "../../include/sm/varargs.h", line 25: error 4036: Can't open include file 'varargs.h'

I think it has got to do with the cpp compiler which it is using instead of g++.
I even tried changing ../devtools/OS/HP-UX.11.x
file

define(`confCClibsmi', `cc -Ae')
define(`confCC', `cc -Ae')

to

define(`confCClibsmi', `g++')
define(`confCC', `g++')

can anyone help me out with this problem
Thanks in advance

Why not install sendmail from your application CD's? 11i has version 8.9.3, and 11 on one of my machines is 8.8.6.

Do you need 8.12.2?

If you install it from your application CD, then there is no need to compile it.

There are some nice new features in sendmail versions above 8.9.3. If you need the features, 8.11.1 is available from
