The confOBJADD macro defines additional object
files that need to be included in sendmail and
the programs associated with it (such as
praliases). It is very unlikely that you will
ever have to change the value for it that is predefined in your
devtools/OS file. An exception to this might
occur if you need to replace a standard C-library function with one
that is customized to satisfy some local need. For example, consider
a replacement for the syslog(3) routine. First,
place a copy of syslog.c in all the source
directories. Then, add this line to your site file:
define(`confOBJADD', `syslog.o')
Note that the confOBJADD macro takes the
.o form of the object filename, not the source
filename.
If you forget to put a copy of the source in one of the directories,
you will see this (or a similar) error at
Build-time:
make: Fatal error: Don't know how to make target `syslog.o'
