mpop can be compiled to a DOS executable using DJGPP
(http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/)
To run the DOS executable, you need a DPMI server and an installed Watt32
library from http://www.bgnett.no/~giva/ .
Differences between the UNIX and DOS versions
=============================================
- The default user configuration file is "$HOME/_mpoprc".
- The default uidls file is "$HOME/_uidls".
- The .netrc file is "$HOME/_netrc"
- The maildir delivery method will only work on systems with long filename
support.
Notes on TLS/SSL with OpenSSL on DOS
====================================
You need OpenSSL compiled with DJGPP (GnuTLS is not available for DOS as far as
I know). Add something like
LDFLAGS="-Lc:/dos-openssl/lib" \
CPPFLAGS="-Ic:/dos-openssl/include" \
to the configure command line.
OpenSSL needs some truly random data to seed its pseudo random number generator
(PRNG). It is therefore recommended to install the driver NOISE.SYS from
http://www.rahul.net/dkaufman/index.html . It may even be necessary.
Compiling the source
====================
To compile mpop, you need:
- A DOS with LFN (long file name) support.
- DJGPP with bash, fileutils, shellutils, sed, grep, and gawk.
The utilities are needed to run the configure script.
- The Watt32 networking library for DOS from http://www.bgnett.no/~giva/
The library should be available as libsocket.a in the DJGPP lib
directory (as is suggested in the Watt32 docs).
