How to install qtools

qtools comes with NO WARRANTY.

System requirements

qtools works only under UNIX systems that run qmail. Additionally, email repliers configured with replier-config require ezmlm-weed from the ezmlm package.

Installation

Download the qtools package. The most recent qtools package is qtools 0.56.

Unpack the qtools package:

  gunzip qtools-0.56.tar
  tar -xf qtools-0.56.tar
  cd qtools-0.56

Compile the qtools programs:

  make

Run some tests. Normally, this produces no output:

  make test

If the tests fail, manually compare their output with the expected results:

  ./rts >rts.out
  diff rts.out rts.exp

As root, install the qtools programs under /usr/local:

  make setup check

Report successful installation:

  ( echo 'First M. Last'; cat `cat SYSDEPS` ) \
