[Dovecot] questions about compiling Sieve plugin
I'm using the info on the wiki to try to compile the sieve plugin for dovecot on a server running Debian Etch, but I'm getting nowhere because I'm stuck trying to find the directory to use in the "--with-dovecot=" argument when running the configure script. The wiki says:
Compilation is identical among the CMUSieve and the new Sieve plugin. Use --with-dovecot=<path> to point to dovecot-config file's directory. There are two possibilities where this could exist:
- If you configured Dovecot with --enable-header-install, you'll have dovecot-config installed in $prefix/lib/dovecot/ directory.
- Compiled Dovecot sources' root directory.
The problem is that there is no such file called "dovecot-config" on the server, and dovecot was installed from the Debian repositories, not compiled. There is no /usr/lib/dovecot or /usr/local/lib/dovecot.
I figured that, as is the case with many Debian packages, the libraries needed to compile would be included in a "dovecot-dev" package, but I checked and there is no such package in the Debian repos.
Does anyone know what I need to do in order to get this plugin compiled?

Get Debian source packages of Dovecot,
cd /tmp sudo apt-get source dovecot sudo apt-get build-dep dovecot
cd <dir>
then: dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
This command does a lot more, but you will have the compiled Dovecot and anything else in the <dir>.

Do you fetch the source packages from backports or something? Or use packages of another Debian version?
cd <dir> dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
will tell you what dependencies are missing. Maybe you can handle them manually.
then:
debian/rules build

dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: libpq-dev libmysqlclient15-dev libkrb5-dev
libpq-dev depends on libkrb5-dev, which depends on:
The following packages have unmet dependencies. libkrb5-dev: Depends: libkrb53 (= 1.6.dfsg.4~beta1-5lenny1) but 1.4.4-7etch6 is to be installed Depends: libkadm55 (= 1.6.dfsg.4~beta1-5lenny1) but it is not going to be installed
libmysqlclient15-dev has similar problems:
The following packages have unmet dependencies. libmysqlclient15-dev: Depends: libmysqlclient15off (>= 5.0.51a-24+lenny1) but 5.0.32-7etch8 is to be installed Depends: libc6 (>= 2.7-1) but 2.3.6.ds1-13etch9+b1 is to be installed
I'm not sure why some packages would depend on Lenny packages, since Etch is installed. But then again I don't really know a lot about Debian since most of my experience is with RedHat.

I guess you've downloaded a Dovecot package for Lenny instead of Etch. Etch's version is pretty old anyway: v1.0.rc15.
Backports.org has v1.0.15 for Etch.
What version of Dovecot do you have installed and from where?
========
Anyway, you can easily try to install any older library, which provides the development files for the particular dependency, because your goal is just to compile Dovecot in order to get lib-sieve compiled.
then run debian/rules build

Uff, maybe you need "non-free" and "contrib" sections in sources.list. I tried on Etch myself with success.

Here are the three lines in my sources.list:
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ etch main deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ etch main
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free
"contrib" and "non-free" appear to be present already.
