-REQUIRED SOFTWARE
- Build OpenLDAP requires the following software components:
-
- Base system (libraries and tools):
- Standard C compiler, headers, and libraries
- POSIX REGEX headers and libraries
-
- SLAPD:
- LDBM compatible datastore
- (Berkeley DB, Sleepycat DB2, or GDBM)
-
- SLURPD:
- LTHREAD compatible thread package
- (POSIX pthreads, MIT pthreads, Mach Cthreads or Sun LWP)
-
- LDAPD:
- ISODE compatible X.500 distribution
-
- CLIENTS/CONTRIB ware:
- Depends on package. See per package README.
-
-
-MAKING AND INSTALLING THE DISTRIBUTION
- This is a quick guide. For details, see the INSTALL file.
-
- % ./configure
- autoconf OpenLDAP for current platform
-
- % 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.
-
- See the INSTALL file in this directory for more information.
-
-
-DOCUMENTATION
- There are man pages for most programs in the distribution and
- routines in the various libraries. See ldap(3) for details.
