-MAKING AND INSTALLING THE DISTRIBUTION
-
- You should be able to make and install the distribution with a
- default configuration by typing the following commands:
- % ./configure --help
- This will list the available options.
- 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 -D)
- LDFLAGS LDFLAGS (-L -l)
+MAKING AND INSTALLING THE DISTRIBUTION
+ Please see the INSTALL file for basic instructions. More
+ detailed instructions can be found in the OpenLDAP Admnistrator's
+ Guide (see DOCUMENTATION section).
- % [env settings] ./configure [options]
- this will configure the build system
- % make depend
- this will create dependency information
+DOCUMENTATION
+ There are man pages for most programs in the distribution and
+ routines in the various libraries. See ldap(3) for details.
- % make
- this will build the system
+ The OpenLDAP website is available and contains the latest LDAP
+ news, releases announcements, pointers to other LDAP resources,
+ etc.. It is located at <http://www.OpenLDAP.org/>.
- % su
- # make install
+ The OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide and other documentation is
+ available at <http://www.openldap.org/doc/>.
- in this directory. This should produce something that basically
- works. You can "cd tests; make" to verify the build.
+ The OpenLDAP Software FAQ is available at
+ <http://www.openldap.org/faq/>.
- You will probably want to do a little configuration to suit your
- site, though. There are one file you might want to edit:
- include/ldapconfig.h.edit
- This file contains #defines used by many parts of the
- distribution. You'll at least want to change DEFAULT_BASE.
