Red Hat 8.0 Installation

The sendmail source rpm for Red Hat 8.0 for the Intel architecture is located at:

ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/8.0/en/os/i386/SRPMS/sendmail-8.12.5-7.src.rpm

You may have to satisfy a number of development dependencies, which can be removed once the binary rpm is built. In my installation, for example, openssl-devel, db4-devel, and sendmail-cf were required but not listed in the rpm dependency list:

# rpm -ivh sendmail-8.12.5-7.src.rpm
# cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
# rpmbuild -bc sendmail.spec

Copy in a few things from the sendmail compile. Your obj directory may differ depending on your kernel version and architecture, so substitute the appropriate values:

# cp -r /usr/src/redhat/BUILDS/sendmail-8.12.5/include/libmilter /usr/local/include
# cp /usr/src/redhat/BUILDS/sendmail-8.12.5/obj.Linux.2.4.18-14.i686/libmilter/libmilter.a /usr/local/lib
