Appendix C. Compiling and Installing Postfix
The general steps to build Postfix from the source files are to
obtain the software bundle, uncompress it, compile it, and install it. The
tools you need are common on nearly all distributions of Unix: gzip, tar,
make, and a C compiler. Postfix
generally expects the GNU gcc compiler,
but you can also build it with your platform’s native compiler, as long as
it supports ANSI C.
