[Mailman-Users] Compilation problems

[Ken Manheimer]

Hmm - i'm no build/compilation expert (barry?), but it looks like the
PREFIX and PYTHON macros are not being defined.  I'd suspect a missing
step in the build process - i expect that one of the build gurus can 
pinpoint where.  In the src/Makefile, are there some lines that look
like:

COMMON_FLAGS=	-DPREFIX="\"$(prefix)\"" \
		-DPYTHON="\"$(PYTHON)\""

and doe the common.o target line look like:

common.o: $(srcdir)/common.c $(srcdir)/common.h
	$(CC) -c -I. $(COMMON_FLAGS) $(CFLAGS) $<

?
