[Mimedefang] Compiling MimeDefang 2.72 (configuration bug report).

[kd6lvw at yahoo.com]

For some reason, MD 2.72 didn't pick up that it needed the LDAP library (i.e. a "-lldap" added to the compiling line, when libmilter also has LDAP enabled).

Error:
gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -pthread -o mimedefang mimedefang.o drop_privs_threaded.o utils.o rm_r.o syslog-fac.o dynbuf.o milter_cap.o gen_id.o -L../sendmail-8.14.5/obj.Linux.2.6.39.1.x86_64/libmilter -lmilter -lpthread -lnsl

I saw no check for LDAP support during the configure stage either.

I use openldap, installed with this shell script:

#!/bin/sh
configure --prefix=/usr --enable-ipv6 --enable-shared --enable-threads --disable-backends --enable-bdb --enable-ldap --enable-sql --with-slapd --without-slurpd --without-ldapd
SLAPD_USE_SQL=mysql make sql
exec make depend all install

Sendmail (and thus the milter library) is built with these M4 options:

APPENDDEF(`confENVDEF',`-DDNSMAP -DMATCHGECOS -DNETINET6 -DMILTER')
APPENDDEF(`confENVDEF',`-DSTARTTLS -DMAP_REGEX -DSASL=2 -DLDAPMAP -DNEWDB')
APPENDDEF(`confENVDEF',`-DIDENTPROTO=0 -DLDAP_REFERRALS -UNEEDSGETIPNODE')
APPENDDEF(`confLIBS',`-lcrypto -lldap -lpthread -lssl -lsasl2 -ldb')


Adding the missing "-lldap" to that one compile allows me to complete and install MD (and I have done so).  Maybe autoconf needs to be alerted that the LDAP library needs to be linked in as the milter library may be dependent on it.
