-MAKING AND INSTALLING THE DISTRIBUTION
+ This is 2.2 release, it includes significant changes from
+ prior releases.
+
+REQUIRED SOFTWARE
+ Build OpenLDAP requires a number of software packages to be
+ preinstalled. Additional information regarding prerequisite
+ software can be found in the OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide.
- You should be able to make and install the distribution with a pretty
- standard default configuration by typing the following commands
+ Base system (libraries and tools):
+ Standard C compiler (required)
+ Cyrus SASL 2.1.3+ (recommended)
+ OpenSSL 0.9 (recommended)
+ POSIX REGEX software (required)
- % make
- % su
- # make install
+ SLAPD:
+ BDB backend requires Sleepycat Berkeley DB 4.1
+ LDBM backend requires a compatible database manager
+ [Berkeley DB, GDBM, etc.]
- in this directory. This should produce something that basically
- works.
+ SLURPD:
+ LTHREAD compatible thread package
+ [POSIX threads, Mach Cthreads, select others]
- You will probably want to do a little configuration to suit your
- site, though. There are two files you might want to edit:
+ CLIENTS/CONTRIB ware:
+ Depends on package. See per package README.
- Make-common This file contains definitions for
- where things will be installed, where
- to find various things, etc. If you
- want to build an ldap server, you'll
- definitely need to edit this file
- include/ldapconfig.h.edit This file contains #defines used
- by many parts of the distribution.
- You'll at least want to change
- DEFAULT_BASE.
