Compiling postfix snapshot (postfix-2.7-20091209) on FreeBSD 6.1

FreeBSD 6.1 only has postfix 2.2.9 in package ports default stock, if i recall correctly. we need downloading source from www.postfix.org

FIrst install all dependencies, In FreeBSD i actually just locate package,cd to package ports directory and then make install clean

e.g :

# locate mysql

This will result bunch of package port directories, for instant we want to install mysql-server, just follow these command accordingly

# locate mysql-server
# cd /var/db/pkg/mysql-server-5.1.6_2
# make install clean

Remember, installing from package ports need internet connection

Do it the same way for all dependencies

Extract Postfix tarball

# tar xvzf postfix-2.7-20091209.tar.gz
# cd postfix-2.7-20091209

Compile and install postfix source

# make makefiles CCARGS="-DFD_SETSIZE=2048 -DHAS_CDB -DHAS_NIS -DSNAPSHOT -I/usr/local/include -DHAS_PCRE -I/usr/local/include -DHAS_MYSQL -I/usr/local/include/mysql -DUSE_SASL_AUTH -DUSE_CYRUS_SASL -I/usr/local/include/sasl -DUSE_TLS -DHAS_SSL -I/usr/include/openssl" AUXLIBS="/usr/local/lib/libcdb.a -L/usr/local/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz -lm -L/usr/local/lib -ldb4 -lpcre -lsasl2 -lssl -lcrypto -lpthread"
# make
# make install

if we need to customize postfix main.cf or master.cf, default configuration will in /etc/postfix/. we can refer to documentations at www.postfix.org site

That’s it 🙂
