If you want the same build to run on Debian and "Redhat / Mageia", then static linking can achieve that more reliably. Note that it will prevent security updates to gnutls being applied when running Mailutils with encrypted connections, until you rebuild the static binary. You should
be able to use the Debian x86_64 Mailutils packages at least, so you
probably don't need to try running the Mageia build on there. Just
compile and install Mailutils normally on "Redhat / Mageia for intel"
and "debian for ARM" as two separate processes.
Yes, and now I try to install the GNU Mailutils source package on a Pi3B
with Bullseye OS. Meaning, try to rebuild the (ancient) package as is, and
as next steps, to replace the source tgz, do some adaptations and try to
get this built, also.
By some reason, Synaptic install GUI does only show the sources for a few packages, and Mailutils is not among them.
/etc/apt/sources.list contains
deb
http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/ bullseye main contrib non-
free rpi
# Uncomment line below then 'apt-get update' to enable 'apt-get source'
deb-src
http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/ bullseye main contrib non-free rpi
Is there one more repo to activate, so that it shows up for downloading?
Thank you!
