This installs Dovecot under /usr/local. + +If you have installed some libraries into locations which require special include or library paths, you can give them in CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables. For example: + +`CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/openssl/include LDFLAGS=-L/opt/openssl/lib ./configure` + +See `./configure --help` for a list of all available configure options. +See [http://wiki2.dovecot.org/CompilingSource](http://wiki2.dovecot.org/CompilingSource) for more information. + +Running +======= + +Start with the example configuration: + +``` +cp -r /usr/local/share/doc/dovecot/example-config/* /usr/local/etc/dovecot/ +``` + +Read through, and make needed modifications. + +Once everything is configured, start Dovecot by running "dovecot" binary. + +See Wiki for more information about configuration.
