SUMMARY: compiling sendmail under solaris 2.6 with BerkDB

I got many replies, most pointing me to -ldb.
I ended up adding the library and include path, as well as -ldb
directly to the makefile. The below approach seems
like the most appropriate though.

Thanks for all the replies!

This is what you need to do to compile sendmail-8.9.3 w/BerkeleyDB 2.7.3-BETA.:

1. untar a clean src tarball of sendmail.8.9.3.tar.gz.
2. Create a site.config.m4 file under BuildTools/Site directory. Do this by
    cd into BuildTools/OS. There will be a SunOS.5.6 sample site.config file.
3. Copy that sample site.config file to BuildTools/Site directory and rename
    it to site.config.m4. Modify the file to suit your taste.

Here's a sample of my site.config.m4 file:

# @(#)SunOS.5.6 8.10 (Alameda) 4/01/1999
define(`confCC', `gcc')
define(`confOPTIMIZE', `-g -O3')
define(`confBEFORE', `sysexits.h')
define(`confMAPDEF', `-DNEWDB -DNDBM -DNIS -DNISPLUS -DAUTO_NIS_ALIASES -DTCPWRAPPERS -DMAP_REGEX')
define(`confENVDEF', `-DSOLARIS=20600 ')
define(`confINCDIRS', `-I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB/include')
define(`confLIBS', `-lsocket -lnsl -lkstat -lresolv -lelf -lwrap -L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB/lib -ldb')
define(`confMBINDIR', `/usr/lib')
define(`confEBINDIR', `/usr/lib')
define(`confSBINGRP', `sys')
define(`confSTDIR', `/etc/mail')
define(`confHFDIR', `/etc/mail')
define(`confINSTALL', `${BUILDBIN}/install.sh')
define(`confDEPEND_TYPE', `CC-M')
APPENDDEF(`confENVDEF', `-D_FFR_MAX_MIME_HEADER_LENGTH=1')
PUSHDIVERT(3)
sysexits.h:
        if [ -r /usr/include/sysexits.h ]; \
        then \
                ln -s /usr/include/sysexits.h; \
        fi
POPDIVERT

Notice the lines "define(`confINCDIRS', `-I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB/include')"
and "define(`confLIBS', `-lsocket -lnsl -lkstat -lresolv -lelf -lwrap -L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB/lib -ldb')".
Make sure the line is exactly as shown, or if you wish to you my site.config.m4
file, then do so. Make sure you have tcp_wrappers installed (libwrap.a), GNU m4
(gm4), and BerkeleyDB-2.7.3-BETA (-ldb). If you don't have tcp_wrappers
installed just remove the -DTCPWRAPPERS. Also, if you're not running
NIS or NIS+ remove -DNIS and -DNISPLUS and -DAUTO_NIS_ALIASES.
Also make sure you have groff in place (GNU roff)

NOTE: If you use the above site.config.m4 file, IT'LL WORK! TRUST ME!

cd into sendmail-8.9.3/src
./Build -c (this will remove a pre-existing obj.* directory and create a new dir
with the latest macros defined.
./Build -n install (check to see where things are placed only, no actual installation)
If you're satisfied with everything:
./Build install

Create your sendmail.cf file, and you're all set!
