Build problems with sendmail
I tried to build vmime from source 0.92 on Arch with all the depedencies installed and up to date. When trying to build using:
$ cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" /path/to/vmime-source
the building process crashes with the error:
Enabling Sendmail protocol requires that you specify path to 'sendmail' binary.
Looking into CMakeLists.txt I found that this error occures, when the variable VMIME_SENDMAIL_PATH is not set or equal to "". Following the build log there were 3 locations where the binary was found /usr/bin/sendmail, /usr/sbin/sendmail, /bin/sendmail
I found that in lines below in CMakeLists.txt VMIME_DEFAULT_SENDMAIL_PATH is set, when a location is found. After checking that, it really was set correctly. BUT ...
FOREACH (SENDMAIL_PATH /usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/lib/sendmail /usr/bin/sendmail /bin/sendmail /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject /bin/cgimail)
IF(EXISTS ${SENDMAIL_PATH})
MESSAGE(STATUS "Sendmail binary found at ${SENDMAIL_PATH}")
SET(VMIME_DEFAULT_SENDMAIL_PATH ${SENDMAIL_PATH})
ENDIF()
ENDFOREACH(SENDMAIL_PATH)
a few lines later VMIME_SENDMAIL_PATH is set to VMIME_DEFAULT_SENDMAIL_PATH
SET(
VMIME_SENDMAIL_PATH
${VMIME_DEFAULT_SENDMAIL_PATH}
CACHE STRING
"Specifies the path to sendmail binary"
)
which does not work out. The variable VMIME_SENDMAIL_PATH never got set! The solution to my problem was to add the FORCE option to set:
SET(
VMIME_SENDMAIL_PATH
${VMIME_DEFAULT_SENDMAIL_PATH}
CACHE STRING
"Specifies the path to sendmail binary"
FORCE
)
After that i could build and install vmime 0.92 . I hope that is going to help someone ;-)
Hello!
I don't think there is an issue here, just tested it again this very minute: if you set the -DVMIME_SENDMAIL_PATH=... option on the cmake command line, the value is correctly used.
The value you set on the command line is always used, whether it is empty or not. If it is empty, the error occurs. If you don't set it (ie. undefined, not just empty), the value VMIME_DEFAULT_SENDMAIL_PATH is used by default.
Please give more explanations about the issue, or I will close it as "wontfix". I doubt it, but might it be an issue with your specific platform? Posting the full CMake output could also help.
$ ls -l /usr/bin/sendmail

is this repo dead?
What command line did you use for CMake? What is the output of this command?

I will not use -DVMIME_SENDMAIL_PATH= because your CMakeLists.txt should detect sendmail in /usr/bin/sendmail:
FOREACH (SENDMAIL_PATH /usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/lib/sendmail /usr/bin/sendmail /bin/sendmail /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject /bin/cgimail)
