I am having difficulty getting smail 3.1.29.1 to compile under Linux.
I have editted the EDITME file to set up the linux variables, but
whenever I run 'make' I get lots of errors about 'make' objecting to
an ambiguous option '--w'.
The base level Makefile creates its own sub level Makefiles using the
EDITME file as a configurator, but I cannot find where it is getting
the notion of the --w option.
Has anyone had any experience with this please.

These are my opinions, but you're welcome to borrow them        |
