[Buildroot] Add POSTFIX package

[Buildroot] Add POSTFIX package

[ilranzani]

Is possible to include the postfix (http://www.postfix.org/) package in
Buildroot?

I cross-compile with success the 2.7.1 version (for mini 2440), using the
path/compilator/libraries of buildroot 11.08 rc2.

--- But to include in buildroot needs the configure.ac or configure.in
file!!!

--- the package also fails during extraction (it is a normal .tar.gz, and
works outside buildroot)

Thanks 4 any help!!! :working:

It's fairly easy to add packages to buildroot, particularly packages
based on autotools.
There is documentation on how to do this here:
http://buildroot.uclibc.org/buildroot.html#autotools-tutorial

I suggest you give it a try and let us know if you encounter problems.
In that case, please provide some more information, like error
messages etc.

Best regards,
Thomas
