From 18ebf0e5e1e495cad670c085e5932c09cd84ae3b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Yann E. MORIN" Date: Sat, 29 Nov 2014 11:55:56 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] package/mutt: specify the mailpath mutt's ./configure looks for different paths for where to look for incoming mails. This is absolutely worng in the case of cross-compilation, because the path it may find on the host may not exist on the target. Not only that, but some host may not even have any of the paths ./configure looks for. Fix that by specifying the mailpath, and set it to the value documented in the FHS [0] Since Buildroot only guarantees /tmp to be writable, make /var/mail a symlink to /tmp .
