+This directory contains tools. Do not attempt to actually build
+anything in this directory.
+
+The Build script allows you to specify a site configuration file by using
+the -f flag:
+
+ Build -f siteconfig.m4
+
+You can put such site configuration files in the Site sub-directory;
+see Site/README for details.
+
+While building a site configuration file, you can add to a definition
+using the APPENDDEF() and PREPENDDEF() macros. For example:
+
+ APPENDDEF(`confINCDIRS', `-I/usr/local/bind/include')
+
+will add -I/usr/local/bind/include to the already existing confINCDIRS.
+Note: There must be no trailing spaces after the last quote mark and
+before the closing parenthesis. Also you may need to properly quote
+m4 reserved words as specified by your vendor's m4 command.
+
+By default, sendmail will search your system for include and library
+directories as well as certain libraries (libdb.* for Berkeley DB and
+libbind.a or libresolv.* for name resolution). You can turn off this
+configuration step by specifying the -S flag with the Build command.
+
+The OS subtree contains definitions for variations on a standard
+model for system installation. The M4 variables that can be defined
+and their defaults before referencing the appropriate OS definitons
+are:
+
+confBEFORE [empty] Files to create before sendmail is
+ compiled. The methods must be defined
+ in the Makefile using PUSHDIVERT(3).
+confBUILDBIN ../../BuildTools/bin
+ The location of the build support
+ binaries, relative to the obj.*
+ directory.
+confCC cc The C compiler to use.
+confOPTIMIZE -O Flags passed to CC as ${O}.
+confDEPEND_TYPE generic How to build dependencies. This should
+ be the name of a file in
+ BuildTools/M4/depend
+confEBINDIR /usr/libexec The location for binaries executed
+ from other binaries, e.g., mail.local
+ or smrsh.
+confENVDEF [empty] -D flags passed to cc.
+confHFDIR /usr/share/misc Location of the sendmail help file.
+confINCDIRS [empty] -I flags passed to cc.
+confINSTALL install The BSD-compatible install program.
+ Use ${BUILDBIN}/install.sh if none
+ is available on your system.
+confLDOPTS [empty] Linker options passed to ld.
+confLIBDIRS [empty] -L flags passed to ld.
+confLIBS [varies] -l flags passed to ld.
+confLIBSEARCH db bind resolv 44bsd
+ Search for these libraries for
+ linking with programs.
+confLINKS ${UBINDIR}/newaliases ${UBINDIR}/mailq \
+ ${UBINDIR}/hoststat ${UBINDIR}/purgestat
+ Names of links to sendmail.
+confMANROOT /usr/share/man/cat The root of the man subtree.
+confMAN1 confMANROOT 1 The location of man1 files.
+confMAN1EXT 1 The extension on files in confMAN1.
+confMAN1SRC 0 The source for man pages installed
+ in confMAN1.
+confMAN5 confMANROOT 5 The location of man5 files.
+confMAN5EXT 5 The extension on files in confMAN5.
+confMAN5SRC 0 The source for man pages installed
+ in confMAN5.
+confMAN8 confMANROOT 8 The location of man8 files.
+confMAN8EXT 8 The extension on files in confMAN8.
+confMAN8SRC 0 The source for man pages installed
+ in confMAN8.
+confMANDOC -mandoc The macros used to format man pages.
+confMANOWN bin The owner of installed man pages.
+confMANGRP bin The group of installed man pages.
+confMANMODE 444 The mode of installed man pages.
+confMAPDEF [varies] The map definitions, e.g.,
+ -DNDBM -DNEWDB. -DNEWDB is always
+ added if a libdb.a can be found.
+confNO_MAN_INSTALL [undefined] If defined, don't install the man
+ pages by default.
+confMBINDIR /usr/sbin The location of the MTA (sendmail)
+ binary.
+confNROFF groff -Tascii The command to format man pages.
+confOBJADD [empty] Objects that should be included in
+ when linking sendmail and the
+ associated utilities.
+confSBINDIR /usr/sbin The location of root-oriented
+ commands, such as makemap.
+confSBINOWN root The owner for setuid binaries.
+confSBINGRP kmem The group for setuid binaries.
+confSBINMODE 4555 The mode for setuid binaries.
+confSHELL /bin/sh The shell to use inside make.
+confSMOBJADD [empty] Objects that should be included in
+ when linking sendmail.
+confSRCDIR ../../src The sendmail source directory
+ relative to support program obj.*
+ directories.
+confSTDIR /var/log The directory in which to store the
+ sendmail status file.
+confUBINDIR /usr/bin The directory for user-executable
+ binaries.
