Qmailtoaster & Dovecot IMAP
Hi tech guys 
After dome days of big bugs from my previous IMAP server (Courier 4.2.x – AUthlib 0.59.2), I decided to upgrade to last version available (Courier IMAP 4.4.1 – Authlib 0.61.0). I always installed package from qmail toaster, so I build a new .rpm and .srpm version for courier and authlib mantaining upstream qmailtoaster version.
After installation, I noticed something wrong 
I got this strange error: “libauthvchkpw.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory”.
Why ?!?!?!? Simply because vpopmail support is’nt available with authlib 0.61.0 (from 0.60.4) !!!!!
But all my installation support vpopmail !!!!! ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!
Don’t worry Salvatore, don’t worry The only file you need is libauthvchpw.so
I copied it from previous installation and all was OK
But…. bugs are still present… GRRRRR… I need another IMAP server… DOVECOT !!!!!
Installation is very very simple (yum installer help a lot ). But now it’s time to configure and migrate.
First, simple step 
Migration is immediate. All you need is to add this commands on /etc/dovecot.conf:
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_uid = 89 mail_gid = 89 first_valid_uid = 89 last_valid_uid = 89 first_valid_gid = 89 last_valid_gid = 89 |
so you can access previous receveid mail Remeber, on qmail-toaster vpopmail uid/gid is 89. If you want to known which userid/groupid is assigned to your user, you need to issue from shell:
id vpopmail |
Ok, now the hard work. Now you need to integrate your vpopmail installation (auth module) with DOVECOT. First of all, you can’t use SQL access. With qmail-toaster all domains have a separate table. This is’nt a problem… Real problem is domain translation !!! You can’t use %d (DOVECOT variable) because domain is translated. For example, my domain ansani.it is stored like ansani_it.
And now ?!?!?!? Don’t worry, you can use vchkpw and checkpassword
Yes yes yes yes, on your auth default section, you need to write something like that:
auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb checkpassword { args = /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw } userdb prefetch { args = uid=89 gid=89 home=/home/vpopmail/domains/%d/%u } count = 1 } |
Remember again, I’ve installed qmail-toaster and my mails are on /home/vpopmail/domains/MY_EMAIL_DOMAINS/MY_USERNAME_/Maildir.
After this mod, all works ok
Enjoyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Regards,
Salvatore
Build the toolchain for iPhone 2.0.x on MacOSX 10.5.x
Hi guys !!!
this is another (!?!?!?!) document on how to compile a toolchain for iPhone (with firmware 2.0.x) on MaxOSX 10.5.x. First of all, why a new document ?!?!?!? Simple question and simple response: “Because other documents I found on Internet don’t work for me, so I decided to mix infoz from the NET and try to make my toolchain… and… finally it works !!!!!”
Most info about toolchain compilation I get from this good article from Saurik, NerveGas and Drudge.
First of all, you need terminal access to your Mac. If you don’t known how made an ssh/shell access, well… go away
Now, I hope you have installed bison, flex and a svn client… It’s OK ?!?!? Do you have ?!?!? OK… let’s go !!
Create a new directory iPhoneDevel and go on with llvm.
Now, from shell:
svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk llvm-svn -r 42498 pushd llvm-svn ./configure --enable-optimized make ENABLE_OPTIMIZED=1 sudo make install LLVMOBJDIR=`pwd` popd |
If you want to known why you’re still relegate to release 42498 of llvm, you need to read these.
Now, it’s time to checkout some iPhone devel tools:
svn checkout http://iphone-dev.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ iphone-dev pushd iphone-dev pushd include svn switch http://iphone-dev.googlecode.com/svn/branches/include-1.2-sdk popd pushd odcctools svn switch http://iphone-dev.googlecode.com/svn/branches/odcctools-9.2-ld popd sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/arm-apple-darwin mkdir -p build/odcctools pushd build/odcctools ../../odcctools/configure --target=arm-apple-darwin --disable-ld64 |
I compile for arm-apple-darwin platform, you can safely change this target with whatever you want .
Now, check if you have MacOSX 10.4u SDK (if not, simply download iphone SDK from Apple Site and install everything). If so, simply write this on shell:
export INCPRIVEXT="-isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk" |
Now, compile party
make sudo make install popd |
Ok, first BIG step is gone. Now it’s time to get iPhone FileSystem and mount to /usr/local/share/iphone-filesystem. If you don’t known how to obtain correct File System, simply read this document.
I assume you mounted correctly undecrypted dmg image so, go on mounting iPhone FS and compiling toolchain.
sudo ln -s /Volumes/BigBear5A347.M68OS /usr/local/share/iphone-filesystem export HEAVENLY=/usr/local/share/iphone-filesystem pushd include ./configure --with-macosx-sdk=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk sudo bash install-headers.sh popd mkdir -p build/csu pushd build/csu ../../csu/configure --host=arm-apple-darwin sudo make install popd |
By now I tried successfully to compile gcc 4.0 with MacOSX 10.4u headers, so document I wrote assume you have downloaded and correctly installed these. I try to compile gcc 4.2 with 10.5.x headers and, if all was ok, I update this guide… stay tuneeeeeeeeeeeeeeed
Let’s go:
mv llvm-gcc-4.0-iphone/configure llvm-gcc-4.0-iphone/configure.old sed 's/^FLAGS_FOR_TARGET=$/FLAGS_FOR_TARGET=${FLAGS_FOR_TARGET-}/g' llvm-gcc-4.0-iphone/configure.old > llvm-gcc-4.0-iphone/configure sudo ln -s /usr/local/arm-apple-darwin/lib/crt1.o \/usr/local/arm-apple-darwin/lib/crt1.10.5.o mkdir -p build/llvm-gcc-4.0-iphone pushd build/llvm-gcc-4.0-iphone export FLAGS_FOR_TARGET="-mmacosx-version-min=10.1" sh ../../llvm-gcc-4.0-iphone/configure --enable-llvm=`llvm-config --obj-root` \ --enable-languages=c,c++,objc,obj-c++ --target=arm-apple-darwin --enable-sjlj-exceptions \ --with-heavenly=$HEAVENLY --with-as=/usr/local/bin/arm-apple-darwin-as \ --with-ld=/usr/local/bin/arm-apple-darwin-ld |
Now, it’s time to patch
If you don’t patch, you receive a lot of garbage errors like these:
../../../llvm-gcc-4.0-iphone/gcc/config/arm/lib1funcs.asm:670:garbage following instruction -- `bls 11f' ../../../llvm-gcc-4.0-iphone/gcc/config/arm/lib1funcs.asm:672:garbage following instruction -- `beq 12f' make[2]: *** [libgcc/./_udivsi3_s.o] Error 1 |
Why you obtain these errors ?????? Read this page about issue #145.
How you can correct error ?!?!? Simply download this file and save it on iPhoneDevel directory and:
patch ../../llvm-gcc-4.0-iphone/gcc/config/arm/lib1funcs.asm ../../../lib1funcs.asm.diff |
Now, final step
make LLVM_VERSION_INFO=2.0-svn-iphone-dev-0.3-svn sudo make install |
OKOKOKOKOKOKOKKOKOK
Now all it’s OK with toolchain. All files are installed on /usr/local/arm-apple-darwin/ and you can safely compile all sources you want.
Before you go out, some little tips
If you want to run your app on iPhone, you need to run “ldid -S YourApp” on your iPhone, otherwise you obtain “Killed” because your app need to be signed.
If you obtain a “Segmentation fault” error, a “Bus error” or a trap error on your iPhone when you try to launch your app, something went wrong with your main method. Remember, you need to use something like thah when you create your app:
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { NSAutoreleasePool* pool = [ [ NSAutoreleasePool alloc ] init ]; int AppReturn; AppReturn = UIApplicationMain( argc, argv, [YourAppLicationName class] ); return AppReturn; [ pool release ]; } |
Finally, I suggest a Makefile like that when you try to compile
CC = /usr/local/bin/arm-apple-darwin-gcc-4.0.1 CFLAGS = \ -I"/usr/local/arm-apple-darwin/include/" \ -I"/usr/local/lib/gcc/arm-apple-darwin/4.0.1/include/" \ -fobjc-abi-version=2 \ LD=$(CC) LDFLAGS = \ -fobjc-abi-version=2 \ -lobjc -lstdc++.6 -licucore -llockdown -lz.1 -lxml2.2 \ -framework CoreFoundation \ -framework Foundation \ -framework UIKit \ -L"/usr/local/share/iphone-filesystem/usr/lib/" \ -F"/usr/local/share/iphone-filesystem/System/Library/Frameworks/" \ -bind_at_load App=YourAppName all: $(App) $(App): main.o YourAppName.o $(LD) $(LDFLAGS) -o $@ $^ %.o: %.m $(CC) -c $(CFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS) $< -o $@ clean: rm -f *.o $(App) |
Now, it’s all
Good compiling
Salvatore vs. iPhone 1 – 0 :)
Ebbene si, sono emozionatissimo !!!!
Dopo mille mila ore dedite al coding matto e disperato, sono riuscito finalmente a compilare correttamente la toolchain nativa per iPhone su MacOSX 10.5.x e, cosa ancora più incommensurabilmente incommensurabile, a compilare, a linkare ed a far girare (GULP!!!!!) il primo programma su quel coso fetuso di iPhone 2.0.1
Ovviamente, fra qualche ora aggiornerò il post con i comandi utilizzati per il toolchain ed i tips (una marea…) per “correggere” le applicazioni in modo che non diano mille mila trap error sul “melacosino”…
Stay TUNED !!!!!

How to purge unused debian conf files
After you uninstall some .deb packages, you need to completely erase all unused configuration files.
You can use one line command like that:
dpkg -l | grep “^rc” | awk -F’ ‘ {‘print $2′} | xargs dpkg –purge
Enjoy your debian
