- You should be able to make and install the distribution with a pretty
- standard default configuration by typing the following commands
- % make
- % 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 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
+ SLURPD:
+ LTHREAD compatible thread package
+ (POSIX pthreads, MIT pthreads, Mach Cthreads or Sun LWP)
- include/ldapconfig.h.edit This file contains #defines used
- by many parts of the distribution.
- You'll at least want to change
- DEFAULT_BASE.
+ CLIENTS/CONTRIB ware:
+ Depends on package. See per package README.
+
+
+MAKING AND INSTALLING THE DISTRIBUTION
