 MAKING AND INSTALLING THE DISTRIBUTION
                Depends on package.  See per package README.
                
 
 MAKING AND INSTALLING THE DISTRIBUTION

+       Please see the INSTALL file for details.

 
 

-    You should be able to make and install the distribution with a
-    default configuration by typing the following commands:
-
-       % ./configure --help
-               This will list the available options.
-               The configure script will also use your environmental
-               variables for determining compiler/linker options.
-               These environment variables are used:
-                       CC                      C compiler      (cc, ecgs)
-                       CFLAGS          C Flags         (-ansi)
-                       CPPFLAGS        CPP Flags       (-I -D)
-                       LDFLAGS         LDFLAGS         (-L -l)
-
-       % [env settings] ./configure [options]
-               this will configure the build system
-
-       % make depend
-               this will create dependency information

 
 

-       % make 
-               this will build the system
-
-       % su
-       # make install
-
-    in this directory.  This should produce something that basically
-    works.  You can "cd tests; make" to verify the build.
-
-    You will probably want to do a little configuration to suit your
-    site, though.  There are one file you might want to edit:
-
-       include/ldapconfig.h.edit
-               This file contains #defines used by many parts of the
-               distribution.  You'll at least want to change DEFAULT_BASE.
+DOCUMENTATION

+       routines in the various libraries.  See ldap(3) for details.
