-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)
-
- % [env settings] ./configure [options]
- this will configure the build system
-
- % make depend
- this will create dependency information
-
- % make
- this will build the system
-
- % su
- # make install
-
- in this directory. This should produce something that basically
- works. You can "cd tests; make" to verify the build.
-
- 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.
-
- See the INSTALL file in this directory for more information.
-
-DOCUMENTATION
-
- There are man pages for most programs in the distribution and
- routines in the various libraries. See ldap(3) for details.
-
- There is an OpenLDAP homepage available that contains the latest
- LDAP news, releases announcements, pointers to other LDAP resources,
- etc. You can access it at this URL:
-
- http://www.OpenLDAP.org/
