[comp.sys.apollo] sendmail & named

jos@ele.tue.nl (Jos van Eijndhoven) (04/09/90)

It seems that the OS10.2 distribution of  sendmail (version 5.52)
doesn't work together with the name daemon.
For this reason I tried to compile and install the original sendmail
(version 5.61) on our apollos (DN3000 and DN2500).

The compilation seems successfull, and running the testmode with '-bt'
seems fine too. However when trying to deliver a message
it shows a successfull contact with named, but prints an error just
after it says '... Connecting to ...' in debug mode (-v -d1-99,4).
It says 'Apollo-specific fault (UNIX/signal)' and exits.

I compiled with the flags "-O -A cpu,3000 -I. -I../include -DVMUNIX"
Omitting the optimisations -O and -A didn't solve the problem.
The local include directory provides for a sysexits.h file.
The only difference compared to the apollo sysexits.h is the
definition of '#define EX_CONFIG 78' which was missing in the apollo version.
The -DVMUNIX is to get the named interface into the program.
In the conf.h file no specific changes were made,
it #defines all standard features to 1 (DBM upto NO_WILDCARD_MX).

Can anybody give me a hint how to repair this?
I'm sure I am not the only one who had -will have- this trouble.
Thanks in advance,
