compiling ezmlm on centos 5.x (tls errors and more)

getting killed by:

usr/bin/ld: errno: TLS definition in /lib/libc.so.6 section .tbss mismatches non-TLS reference in substdio.a(substdo.o)
/lib/libc.so.6: could not read symbols: Bad value

?

phew…

man…

ok, here’s how to get this crap to compile:

untar it, etc
cd to the dir

then:

echo gcc -O2 -include /usr/include/errno.h > conf-cc
echo cc -m32 -O2 -include /usr/include/errno.h >> conf-cc
echo cc -m32 >conf-ld

(these are just files in the current dir)

add :

#include “log.h”

to :

ezmlm-manage.c

and

ezmlm-return.c

(thanks to: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports-bugs/2003-August/009785.html for that little tidbit)

make

it should work

This fixes the following errors:

ezmlm-manage.c: In function âmainâ:
ezmlm-manage.c:320: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function âlogâ
ezmlm-manage.c:320: error: incompatible type for argument 1 of âlogâ

and

How to modify return-path header in php mail function

Normally the return path is set by sendmail (or whatever the server is running, qmail, etc.)

However you can pass a fifth argument to php’s mail function to reset it to what you want. Here’s an example:

$result = mail($to, $subject, $body, “From: $from\n”, “-f$from”);

make sure you do not put a newline in after the fifth argument’s from. php will error out.
