Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2001:094 0 high SHIPPED_LIVE : Updated UW imap packages available (imap/pop3/imaps/pop3s) 2001-07-06 04:00:00 UTC

Description Need Real Name 2000-11-13 18:53:34 UTC 
There seems to be a problem with
map-2000/Makefile
The settings
EXTRACFLAGS= -DDISABLE_POP_PROXY=1  -DIGNORE_LOCK_EACCES_ERRORS=1
do not propagate when doing a build.
Probably a keyword "export" must be added somewhere in make
so files like imap-2000/src/osdep/unix/Makefile
catch the value in the line 
CFLAGS=$(BASECFLAGS) $(EXTRACFLAGS)
Comment 1 Need Real Name 2000-11-13 22:29:07 UTC 
The problem is with imap.spec
It 
1. patches imap-2000/Makefile
2. Sets the environment variable EXTRACFLAGS
which makes it ignoring the value set in Makefile for sub-makes.

The right solution is not to patch Makefile,
but put directly into imap.spec

%build
EXTRACFLAGS="-DDISABLE_POP_PROXY=1  -DIGNORE_LOCK_EACCES_ERRORS=1"
....
This the options will be propagate across the Makefile(s).

Also, the same problem exists
with imap srom RedHat 7.0 updates.
One need to add EXTRACFLAGS to imap.spec
as I recommended in the previod message to compile it correctly.
