Postfix compile error

[WilyeECoyote]

Figured it out. Needed a couple of -lresolv in the Makefile.in a couple of places.

Hello

I got this problem when compiling postfix 2.8.5 on Ubuntu 11.10

../../lib/libdns.a: error: undefined reference to '__dn_expand'
../../lib/libdns.a: error: undefined reference to '__res_search'

Anyone know how to fix this??

Got same problem, but don't know howto do "a couple of -lresolv in the Makefile.in a couple of places". Can anyone tell what exactly must be done to fix, please?

Can anyone with the right knowledge please describe the process of fixing the above problem,

../../lib/libdns.a: undefined reference to `__res_search'
../../lib/libdns.a: undefined reference to `__dn_expand'

that makes the building process with the VDA 2.9.1 patch end in error?
I think it might be useful for many members.

Did you use the correct VDA patch for your Postfix version?

Which distribution do you use?

Hi, Falko!

On my behalf I tested as you suggested and got the answer:
mail_version = 2.9.1
milter_macro_v = $mail_name $mail_version
so I fetched the patch: postfix-vda-v11-2.9.1.patch with wget as you described in your Howto.

I use Ubuntu 12.04 swedish version.
