Making and Installing the OpenLDAP Distribution
+===============================================
-** It is recommended that you read or at least skim through ALL of the
-** instructions in this file before attempting to build the software.
+This file provides brief instructions on how to build and install
+OpenLDAP on UNIX (and UNIX-like) system. More detailed information
+and instructions can be found in The OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide
+(available from http://www.openldap.org/doc/).
-If you want to build binaries for more than one platform from a single
-source tree, skip ahead to the "Building LDAP For More Than One Platform"
-section near the end of this file.
+It is recommended that you read, or at least skim through, ALL of the
+instructions in this file before attempting to build the software.
-If you simply want to build LDAP for a single machine platform, follow
-these steps:
+It is also recommended you review the Frequently Asked Questions
+(http://www.openldap.org/faq/) pages, in particular the Installation
+section (http://www.openldap.org/faq/index.cgi?file=8) and Platform
+Hints (http://www.openldap.org/faq/index.cgi?file=9) should be
+examined.
- 1. untar the distribution and cd to the top:
-
- % tar xfz ldap-stable.tgz
- % cd ldap
-
- If you are reading this file, you probably have already done this!
-
- 2. Type:
- % ./configure --help
-
- to list available configuration options. A description of
- these options is provided in the 'CONFIGURE OPTIONS' section
- below.
-
- The configure script will also use your environmental
- variables for determining compiler/linker options.
-
- These environment variables are used:
- CC C Compiler (cc, ecgs)
- CFLAGS C Flags (-ansi)
- CPPFLAGS CPP Flags (-I/path/include -Ddef)
- LDFLAGS LDFLAGS (-L/path/lib -llib)
-
- A list of defines and other options are noted in the
- 'DEFINES and FLAGS' comments below.
-
- 3. edit the file include/ldapconfig.h.edit to configure
- the software for your site (the files are well-commented):
-
- % vi include/ldapconfig.h.edit
-
- 4. Configure the build system
+Making and Installing the OpenLDAP Distribution
+-----------------------------------------------
- % [env settings] ./configure [options]
+1. Unpack the distribution and change directory:
- If all goes well, the configure script with auto-detect the
- appropriate settings. Use configure enable/with options and/or
- environment variables to obtain desired results.
+ % tar xfz openldap-VERSION.tgz
+ % cd openldap-VERSION
- 5. Build dependencies
+ (replacing VERSION with the appropriate version string). If you
+ are reading this file, you probably have already done this!
- % make depend
+2. Type:
- 6. Build the system
+ % ./configure --help
- % make
+ to list available configuration options.
- If all goes well, the system will build as configured. If not,
- return to step 4 after reviewing the enable/with options settings.
-
- 7. install the binaries and man pages. You may need to be superuser to
- do this (depending on where you are installing things):
+ Note also that the configure script uses environmental variables
+ for determining compiler/linker options including:
- % su
- # make install
+ Variable Description Example
+ CC C compiler gcc
+ CFLAGS C flags -O -g
+ CPPFLAGS cpp flags -I/path/include -DFOO=42
+ LDFLAGS ld flags -L/usr/local/lib
+ LIBS libraries -llib
+ PATH command path /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
- That's it! See the man pages for the individual clients for information
- on configuring and using them. Eventually you will probably want to
- edit the configuration files used by the various clients (installed in
- the LDAP etc directory). The files are:
+ See doc/install/configure for generic configure documentation.
- ldapfilter.conf - search filter configuration
- ldapfriendly - mapping of X.500 names to human-friendly names
- ldapsearchprefs.conf - search object definitions
- ldaptemplates.conf - display template definitions
+3. Configure the build system:
- There are section 5 man pages for all of these files.
+ % [env settings] ./configure [options]
+ If all goes well, the configure script will automatically detect
+ the appropriate settings. If the configure script fails, you
+ should read the config.log file that it generated to see what it
+ was trying to do and exactly what failed. You may need to specify
+ additional options and/or environment variables besides those
+ listed above to obtain desired results, depending on your operating
+ system. The Platform Hints section of the FAQ provides help for
+ operating system related problems.
-Building LDAP For More Than One Platform
+4. Build dependencies:
-It is now possible to build LDAP for more than one platform from the same
-source tree. This is accomplished by using make(1) VPATH support. If
-your make(1) program is old and doesn't have VPATH support, install GNU
-Make.
+ % make depend
-Follow these steps for each different platform:
+5. Build the system:
- 1. Create a directory for the platform object files.
+ % make
- % mkdir obj-platform
+ If all goes well, the system will build as configured. If not,
+ return to step 3 after reviewing the configuration settings. You
+ may want to consult the Platform Hints subsection of the FAQ if
+ you have not done so already.
- 2. Change your working directory to the platform object directory.
+6. Test the standalone system:
- % cd obj-platform
+ This step requires the standalone LDAP server, slapd(8), with
+ BDB or HDB support.
- 3. Configure the build system
+ % make test
- % [env settings] ../configure --src-dir=.. [options]
+ If all goes well, the system has been built as configured. If
+ not, return to step 2 after reviewing your configuration
+ settings. You may want to consult the Installation section of
+ the FAQ if you have not done so already.
- ( replace ".." with the appropriate path )
+7. Install the software. You may need to be come the super-user
+ (e.g. root) to do this (depending on where you are installing
+ things):
- 4. Continue as above (starting at step 6).
+ % su root -c 'make install'
- Note: make depend in VPATH environment is not yet supported.
+8. That's it. Enjoy!
+See the OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide and the manual pages for the
+individual applications for configuration and use information. 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 /usr/local/etc/openldap).
