MAKEDEFS(1)                            General Commands Manual                           MAKEDEFS(1)



NAME
       makedefs - Postfix makefile configuration utility

SYNOPSIS
       make makefiles name=value...

DESCRIPTION
       The  makedefs  command identifies the compilation environment, and emits macro definitions on
       the standard output stream that can be prepended to template Makefiles.  These macros  imple‐
       ment an internal interface and are subject to change without notice.

NAME=VALUE OVERRIDES
       Default  settings  can  be  overruled  by  specifying  them  as  environment variables (or as
       name=value pairs on the "make" command line). Use quotes if variables contain  whitespace  or
       shell meta characters.

       The command "make makefiles name=value..." will replace the string MAIL_VERSION at the end of
       a value with the Postfix version (major.minor.patchlevel  for  a  stable  release,  major.mi‐
       nor-date  for  a  development  release).  Do not try to specify something like $mail_version:
       that produces inconsistent results with different implementations of the make(1) command.

       AUXLIBS=object_library...
              Specifies one or more non-default object libraries. Postfix 3.0 and later specify some
              of  their  database library dependencies with AUXLIBS_CDB, AUXLIBS_LDAP, AUXLIBS_LMDB,
              AUXLIBS_MYSQL, AUXLIBS_PCRE, AUXLIBS_PGSQL, AUXLIBS_SDBM, and AUXLIBS_SQLITE,  respec‐
              tively.

       CC=compiler_command
              Specifies a non-default compiler. On many systems, the default is gcc.

       CCARGS=compiler_arguments
              Specifies  non-default  compiler  arguments, for example, a non-default include direc‐
              tory.  The following directives are special:

              -DNO_DB
                     Do not build with Berkeley DB support.

              -DNO_DEVPOLL
                     Do not build with Solaris /dev/poll support.  By default, /dev/poll support  is
                     compiled in on platforms that are known to support it.

              -DNO_DNSSEC
                     Do  not build with DNSSEC support, even if the resolver library appears to sup‐
                     port it.

              -DNO_EPOLL
                     Do not build with Linux EPOLL support.  By default, EPOLL support  is  compiled
                     in on platforms that are known to support it.

              -DNO_EAI
                     Do  not  build with EAI (SMTPUTF8) support. By default, EAI support is compiled
                     in when the "pkg-config" command is found, or the deprecated "icu-config"  com‐
                     mand.

              -DNO_INLINE
                     Do  not require support for C99 "inline" functions. Instead, implement argument
                     typechecks for non-(printf/scanf)-like functions with ternary operators and un‐
                     reachable code.

              -DNO_IPV6
                     Do  not  build  with  IPv6 support.  By default, IPv6 support is compiled in on
                     platforms that are known to have IPv6 support.

                     Note: this directive is for debugging and testing only. It is not guaranteed to
                     work  on  all  platforms. If you don't want IPv6 support, set "inet_protocols =
                     ipv4" in main.cf.

              -DNO_IP_CYRUS_SASL_AUTH
                     Don't pass remote SMTP client and Postfix SMTP server IP address and  port  in‐
                     formation to the Cyrus SASL library.  This is compatible with Postfix < 3.2.

              -DNO_KQUEUE
                     Do  not  build  with FreeBSD/NetBSD/OpenBSD/MacOSX KQUEUE support.  By default,
                     KQUEUE support is compiled in on platforms that are known to support it.

              -DNO_NIS
                     Do not build with NIS or NISPLUS support. Support for  NIS  is  unavailable  on
                     some recent Linux distributions.

              -DNO_NISPLUS
                     Do  not  build with NISPLUS support. Support for NISPLUS is unavailable on some
                     recent Solaris distributions.

              -DNO_PCRE
                     Do not build with PCRE support.  By default, PCRE support is compiled  in  when
                     the pcre-config utility is installed.

              -DNO_POSIX_GETPW_R
                     Disable support for POSIX getpwnam_r/getpwuid_r.

              -DNO_RES_NCALLS
                     Do not build with the threadsafe resolver(5) API (res_ninit() etc.).

              -DNO_SIGSETJMP
                     Use  setjmp()/longjmp() instead of sigsetjmp()/siglongjmp().  By default, Post‐
                     fix uses sigsetjmp()/siglongjmp() when they appear to work.

              -DNO_SNPRINTF
                     Use sprintf() instead of snprintf(). By default, Postfix uses snprintf() except
                     on ancient systems.

       DEBUG=debug_level
              Specifies  a  non-default  debugging level. The default is -g.  Specify DEBUG= to turn
              off debugging.

       OPT=optimization_level
              Specifies a non-default optimization level. The default is -O.  Specify OPT=  to  turn
              off optimization.

       POSTFIX_INSTALL_OPTS=-option...
              Specifies options for the postfix-install command, separated by whitespace. Currently,
              the only supported option is -keep-build-mtime.

       SHLIB_CFLAGS=flags
              Override the compiler flags (typically, "-fPIC") for  Postfix  dynamically-linked  li‐
              braries and database plugins.

              This feature was introduced with Postfix 3.0.

       SHLIB_RPATH=rpath
              Override  the  runpath  (typically,  "'-Wl,-rpath,${SHLIB_DIR}'")  for Postfix dynami‐
              cally-linked libraries.

              This feature was introduced with Postfix 3.0.

       SHLIB_SUFFIX=suffix
              Override the filename suffix (typically, ".so")  for  Postfix  dynamically-linked  li‐
              braries and database plugins.

              This feature was introduced with Postfix 3.0.

       shared=yes

       shared=no
              Enable  (disable)  Postfix  builds  with  dynamically-linked libraries typically named
              $shlib_directory/libpostfix-*.so.*.

              This feature was introduced with Postfix 3.0.

       dynamicmaps=yes

       dynamicmaps=no
              Enable (disable) Postfix builds with  the  configuration  file  $meta_directory/dynam‐
              icmaps.cf  and  dynamically-loadable  database plugins typically named postfix-*.so.*.
              The setting "dynamicmaps=yes" implicitly enables Postfix dynamically-linked libraries.

              This feature was introduced with Postfix 3.0.

       pie=yes

       pie=no Enable (disable) Postfix builds with position-independent  executables,  on  platforms
              where this is supported.

              This feature was introduced with Postfix 3.0.

       installation_parameter=value...
              Override the compiled-in default value of the specified installation parameter(s). The
              following parameters are supported in this context:

              command_directory  config_directory  daemon_directory   data_directory   default_data‐
              base_type html_directory mail_spool_directory mailq_path manpage_directory meta_direc‐
              tory newaliases_path queue_directory  readme_directory  sendmail_path  shlib_directory
              openssl_path

              See the postconf(5) manpage for a description of these parameters.

              This feature was introduced with Postfix 3.0.

       WARN=warning_flags
              Specifies non-default gcc compiler warning options for use when "make" is invoked in a
              source subdirectory only.
