Compiling Add-on Packages

This section walks through building Postfix with various add-on packages that are mentioned in the book. Before recompiling Postfix with any additional packages, it is important to first clean up from any previous builds. Execute the following:

$ make tidy

Now you’ll be starting with a clean source tree for your new builds. Each of the examples below takes you through creating a new Makefile. Once you’ve accom- plished that, simply type:

$ make

to rebuild Postfix. If your new build is successful, you can upgrade your currently installed Postfix:

# make upgrade

If you hadn’t previously installed Postfix, use make install instead.
