2 OpenLDAP -devel is for the development of OpenLDAP. As such,
3 it changes often. These changes include changes in functionality
4 and unproven bug fixes. Many of these changes will cause
5 previous working programs to fail.

32 Build OpenLDAP requires the following software components:
34 Base system (libraries and tools):
35 Standard C compiler, headers, and libraries
36 POSIX REGEX headers and libraries
39 LDBM compatible datastore
40 (Berkeley DB, Sleepycat DB2, or GDBM)
43 LTHREAD compatible thread package
44 (POSIX pthreads, MIT pthreads, Mach Cthreads or Sun LWP)
47 ISODE compatible X.500 distribution
50 Depends on package. See per package README.
53 MAKING AND INSTALLING THE DISTRIBUTION
54 This is a quick guide. For details, see the INSTALL file.
57 autoconf OpenLDAP for current platform
60 this will create dependency information
63 this will build the system
68 in this directory. This should produce something that basically
69 works. You can "cd tests; make" to verify the build.
71 You will probably want to do a little configuration to suit your
72 site, though. There are one file you might want to edit:
74 include/ldapconfig.h.edit
75 This file contains #defines used by many parts of the
76 distribution. You'll at least want to change DEFAULT_BASE.
78 See the INSTALL file in this directory for more information.
82 There are man pages for most programs in the distribution and
83 routines in the various libraries. See ldap(3) for details.
85 Additional documentation can be found in the doc directory.
