- You should be able to make and install the distribution with a pretty
- standard default configuration by typing the following commands
-
- % cp Make-common.dist to Make-common
- Note: if using gmake, instead copy Make-common.gmake to Make-common
- Edit Make-common as desired.
- % make
- this will build the system
- % su
- # make install
-
- in this directory. This should produce something that basically
- works.
-
- You will probably want to do a little configuration to suit your
- site, though. There are two files you might want to edit:
-
- Make-common.dist
- contains distribution defaults. This file is used to
- contruct Make-common and should not be edited except to
- add new features/options to the distribution.
-
- Make-common.gmake
- contains distribution defaults (with GNU make compatibility).
- This file can be used to contruct Make-common and should not
- be edited except to add new features/options to the distribution.
-
- Make-common
- contains default definitions for where things will be
- installed, where to find various things, etc. These defaults
- are used in absense of platform-specific defaults. You may
- hardcode settings in Make-common if you desire. You will
- need to edit this file to enable optional features.
-
- build/*/Make-platform
- contains platform-specific defaults.
-
- 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.
