[bug] installation error in windows 10: Uncaught Exception: The imap library is missing

[calvinsug]

hi there,

i have installed yetiforce 5.1.0 on MAC OS Catalina and it is running (can't install 5.2.0)

When i try to install it in windows 10 environment,

in the very first installation (when redirected to the installation page: install.php), there appears an error:

Fatal Error: Uncaught Exception: The imap library is missing in D:\xampp\htdocs\yetiforce\include\RequirementsValidation.php:15 Stack trace: #0 D:\xampp\htdocs\yetiforce\install\Install.php(21):include_once()#1 {main} thrown in D:\xampp\htdocs\yetiforce\include\RequirementsValidation.php on line 15

This should be working on MAC environment, but why not in windows?

Interestingly opensue (Leap 15.x) no longer ships php with imap library which makes it impossible to install the system on an opensuse system on which I am unable to re-compile and re-install php7-imap. Although you may not care about this, it would be decent to only rely on libraries that actually ship with major distributions.

Debian and redhat do not have this problem. you can use crm without mail your choice
