-MAKING AND INSTALLING THE DISTRIBUTION
+ For more information:
+ http://www.OpenLDAP.org/software/
- You should be able to make and install the distribution with a pretty
- standard default configuration by typing the following commands
- % make
- this will copy Make-common.dist to Make-common.
- Edit Make-common as desired.
- % make
- this will build the system
- % su
- # make install
+REQUIRED SOFTWARE
+ Build OpenLDAP requires the following software components:
- in this directory. This should produce something that basically
- works.
+ Base system (libraries and tools):
+ Standard C compiler, headers, and libraries
+ POSIX REGEX headers and libraries
- You will probably want to do a little configuration to suit your
- site, though. There are two files you might want to edit:
+ SLAPD:
+ LDBM compatible datastore
+ (Sleepycat Berkeley DB 2.7.5 or GDBM)
- 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.
+ SLURPD:
+ LTHREAD compatible thread package
+ (POSIX pthreads, MIT pthreads, Mach Cthreads or Sun LWP)
- build/*/Make-platform
- contains platform-specific defaults.
+ CLIENTS/CONTRIB ware:
+ Depends on package. See per package README.
+
- include/ldapconfig.h.edit
- This file contains #defines used by many parts of the
- distribution. You'll at least want to change DEFAULT_BASE.
+MAKING AND INSTALLING THE DISTRIBUTION
+ Please see the INSTALL file for details.
- See the INSTALL file in this directory for more information.
