3 it changes often. These changes include changes in functionality
4 and unproven bug fixes. Many of these changes will cause

24 Build OpenLDAP requires the following software components:
26 Base system (libraries and tools):
27 Standard C compiler, headers, and libraries
28 POSIX REGEX headers and libraries
31 LDBM compatible datastore
32 (Berkeley DB, Sleepycat DB2, or GDBM)
34 LTHREAD compatible thread package
35 (POSIX pthreads, MIT pthreads, Mach Cthreads or Sun LWP)
38 ISODE compatible ldap distribution
41 Depends on package. See per package READMEs.
44 MAKING AND INSTALLING THE DISTRIBUTION
46 You should be able to make and install the distribution with a
47 default configuration by typing the following commands:
50 This will list the available options.
51 The configure script will also use your environmental
52 variables for determining compiler/linker options.
53 These environment variables are used:
54 CC C compiler (cc, ecgs)
55 CFLAGS C Flags (-ansi)
56 CPPFLAGS CPP Flags (-I -D)
57 LDFLAGS LDFLAGS (-L -l)
59 % [env settings] ./configure [options]
60 this will configure the build system
63 this will create dependency information
66 this will build the system
71 in this directory. This should produce something that basically
72 works. You can "cd tests; make" to verify the build.
74 You will probably want to do a little configuration to suit your
75 site, though. There are one file you might want to edit:
77 include/ldapconfig.h.edit
78 This file contains #defines used by many parts of the
79 distribution. You'll at least want to change DEFAULT_BASE.
81 See the INSTALL file in this directory for more information.
85 There are man pages for most programs in the distribution and
86 routines in the various libraries. See ldap(3) for details.
88 There is an OpenLDAP homepage available that contains the latest
89 LDAP news, releases announcements, pointers to other LDAP resources,
90 etc. You can access it at this URL:
