Dunno' why the RPM wouldn't build, but I have a comment about compiling
the source code. autogen-sh sets up the Makefile and the configure
script. After running autogen-sh, you should run ./configure. configure
can be used to customize the compile options. That includes enabling
dropbox support, specifying the directories where things can be found
(such as encryption libraries and server message files), etc.
By default, configure goes through and tries to detect the locations of
the files it needs, then updates the Makefiles with that data. But some
features (such as the dropbox kludge) will remain in their default state
unless you pass an option to the configure script. Dropbox support
(a.k.a. dropkludge) remains off by default. Administrator group access is
available by default (and activated in afpd.conf).
