Hi,

I'm building emacs from the trunk tree and am seeing this problem:

   1621 /sdi1/exphome/clipper/export/home/tools/emacs/trunk/lib-src/movemail.c:233: undefined reference to `mmdf_init'
   1622 /sdi1/exphome/clipper/export/home/tools/emacs/trunk/lib-src/movemail.c:361: undefined reference to `lk_open'
   1623 /sdi1/exphome/clipper/export/home/tools/emacs/trunk/lib-src/movemail.c:473: undefined reference to `lk_close'
   1624 collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
   1625 Makefile:357: recipe for target 'movemail' failed
   1626 make[1]: *** [movemail] Error 1

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Regards,

George...

It looks like you ran the 'configure' script with the argument '--with-mmdf'. This doesn't work on Fedora 21, and as far as I know doesn't work on any currently-supported Emacs platform. Support for MMDF-based MTAs was removed from GNU mailutils and related software years ago. I expect we should remove it from Emacs too, as it's causing configuration-time trouble. I installed the attached patch, which should fix the problem, and am marking this bug as done.
