You may also want to edit the configuration files used by the
various components. These configuration files are located in
the OpenLDAP configuration directory (normally
{{F:/usr/local/etc/openldap}}).
> ldap.conf client defaults
-> ldapfilter.conf search filter configuration
-> ldapsearchprefs.conf search object definitions
-> ldaptemplates.conf display template definitions
> slapd.conf Standalone LDAP daemon
> schema/*.schema Schema Definitions
-There are section 5 man pages for these configuration files.

-P2: Building OpenLDAP For More Than One Platform
-
-You can build OpenLDAP for more than one platform from the
-same source tree.
-This is accomplished by using {{make}}(1) {{EX:VPATH}} support.
-If your {{make}}(1) program is old and doesn't have {{EX:VPATH}}
-support, install {{BSD Make}} or {{GNU Make}}.
-
-Follow these steps for each different platform:
-
-^ Create a directory for the platform object files.
-
-E: % mkdir obj-platform
-
-+ Change your working directory to the platform object directory.
-
-E: % cd obj-platform
-
-+ Configure the build system
-
-E: % [env settings] ../configure --src-dir=.. [options]
-
-. ( replace "{{F:..}}" with the appropriate path )
-
-+ Continue as above (starting at step 6).

-
-P2: CONFIGURE OPTIONS
-
-Regrettably, this section has not been written (yet). See
-"{{EX:./configure --help}}" for current list of options. For general
-information about how to use "{{EX:configure}}", please read
-{{F:doc/install/configure}}.
-
-
-P2: USING ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
-
-The configure script will also use your environmental
-variables for determining compiler/linker options. This can
-be used to manual specify features and compilation options.
-
-Note[label=Warning]: Executables built in your environment may not run
-in your users' environments. The portability of executables
-between environments is your responsibility.
-
-Supported Environmental Variables:
-
-> CC C compiler cc
-> CFLAGS C flags -O -g
-> CPPFLAGS cpp flags -I/path/include -Ddef
-> LDFLAGS ld flags -L/usr/local/lib
-> LIBS libraries -llib
-> PATH command path /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
-
-* Including alternative compilers
-
-.Use the {{EX:CC}} environment variable to tell configure to
-use a specific compiler. For example, to use {{GNU C
-Compiler}} instead of the default compiler, use:
-
-E: % [env] CC=gcc ./configure
-
-.You can also use {{EX:CC}} use specific flags with the
-specified compiler. For example, to require strict
-{{ANSI C}} using the {{GNU C Compiler}}, use:
-
-E: % [env] CC="gcc -ansi -pedantic" ./configure
-
-.(you can use {{EX:CFLAGS}} to specify compiler flags)
-
-* Preprocessor Flags
-
-.You may specify additional preprocessor flags by setting
-{{EX:CPPFLAGS}}. For example, if you would like to use headers
-installed in {{F:/usr/local/include}}, use:
-
-E: % [env] CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" ./configure
-
-.You can also use {{EX:CPPFLAGS}} to specify preprocessor macros.
-
-E: % [env] CPPFLAGS="-D__SPECIAL_FLAG__" ./configure
-
-* Linker Flags
-
-.You may specify additional linker flags by setting {{EX:LDFLAGS}}.
-For example, if you would like to use libraries installed
-in {{F:/usr/local/lib}}, use:
-
-E: % [env] LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" ./configure
-
-.You can also use CPPFLAGS to specify linker flags:
-
-E: % [env] LDFLAGS="-Bstatic" ./configure
-
-* Path
-
-.You may alter your path to affect configure ability to
-find (or not find) commands. For example, to have configure
-additionally look in {{F:/usr/css/bin}} for commands, use:
-
-E: % [env] PATH="/usr/css/bin:$PATH" ./configure
-
-* Using locally installed software
-
-.To use software under installed under {{F:/usr/local}}.
-
-E: [env] \
-E: CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" \
-E: LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" \
-E: ./configure
-
-Note: You may have add additional flags if your system
-supports shared libraries.
