1 Build Instructions
2 ------------------
3
4 For most people, the usual:
5
6 ./configure
7 make
8 sudo make install
9
10 is enough. This installs Dovecot under /usr/local.
11
12 If you have installed some libraries into locations which require special
13 include or library paths, you can give them in CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS
14 environment variables. For example:
15
16 CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/openssl/include LDFLAGS=-L/opt/openssl/lib ./configure
17
18 See ./configure --help for a list of all available configure options.
19 See http://wiki.dovecot.org/CompilingSource for more information.

21 Running
22 -------
23
24 Rename configuration file:
25
26 mv /usr/local/etc/dovecot-example.conf /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf
27
28 Read through, and make needed modifications.
29
30 Once everything is configured, there's two ways to start Dovecot:
31
32 1) Run "dovecot" binary which does everything.
33
34 2) Start it via inetd or similiar by executing "imap-login" or "pop3-login"
35 binaries. If you're listening in SSL port, add --ssl parameter.
36
37 See Wiki for more information about configuration. If you're in a hurry, go
38 at least through http://wiki.dovecot.org/QuickConfiguration

40 SSL/TLS

43 Dovecot used to support both GNUTLS and OpenSSL libraries, but nowadays
44 only the OpenSSL code is working.
