Bug 33166 – Maildrop part of the courier package does not build with LDAP support

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Areawn 2003-11-10 13:39:30 UTC]

with USE="ldap", and emerging courier, maildrop does not have LDAP extensions. 
If I emerge just maildrop, it will have LDAP extensions. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.



I have edited the the courier ebuild, and modified it to be like the maildrop ebuild. 
After re-emerging, the maildrop application does now have LDAP extensions.

Error in courier-0.71.ebuild due to typo. '--enable-maildroldap' should be '--enable-maildropldap' or maybe '--enable-maildrop-ldap'

Actually I found this typo because maildrop won't use authlib to retrieve user info, which is needed because of ldap. sendmail and all other parts of courier do. Usage of the -a switch (mandatory use of authlib) is ignored. The existence of the switch and it not working suggests the possibility is there, but not compiled in.
I've tried compiling with both '--enable-maildropldap' and '--enable-maildrop-ldap' and even with '--enable-authlib' added. In the emerge log I see none of them used or even a check. According to the man-page the default usage of authlib can be compiled in or can be optional, so there is some switch.
I know little about compiling and I don't know, where to find available switches.
