To build the binaries just type make in the root directory of this
source distribution. The sources are compiled with the MWC compiler,
GNU C isn't needed. Also MWC yacc is used, GNU bison isn't needed.
I've used GNU make, but MWC make also should be OK. You should have
the latest libc from MWCBBS at least, it fixes a bug in ctime(), else
the time in the Date: field might be wrong.
After the make went successfully type make install as user root to
install the binaries, don't wory about the smail 2.5 binaries, they
are saved to filename.O before. If something doesn't work with smail 3.1
you can go back to 2.5.

The package is configured so that /usr/lib/mail is the lib directory
for this package, so that it's compatible to the current smail 2.5
release and uses the existing files. You have to copy the files routers
and transfers to /usr/lib/mail, they are set up for mail transport via
uucp and for the MMDF mailbox format used under Coherent. The config
file must also be copied to this directory, but you've to change the
name of the smart host in this file to the name of the system which
connects you to Usenet/Internet. Also remove the smart-host entry in
your paths file, it's not used by this version of smail.
You have a add a record like

umunk.gun.de	umunk!%s

to the paths file, else smail delivers local mail over the smart host,
which is not what you want.

Smail will create the directory /usr/spool/smail self, you'll find
log files and error report under this directory structure. Have a
look at the files there from time to time, so that you know what
is going on.
