Making and Installing the OpenLDAP Distribution
===============================================
This file provides brief instructions on how to build and install
It is recommended that you read, or at least skim through, ALL of the
instructions in this file before attempting to build the software.
It is also recommended you review The OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide
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.
Making and Installing the OpenLDAP Distribution
-----------------------------------------------
1. Unpack the distribution and change directory:
% tar xfz openldap-VERSION.tgz
% cd openldap-VERSION
(replacing VERSION with the appropriate version string). If you
are reading this file, you probably have already done this!
to list available configuration options. A description of these
options is provided in the 'CONFIGURE OPTIONS' section below.
The configure script uses environmental variables for determining
compiler/linker options. See the 'USING ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES'
section for commonly used settings.
CC C compiler gcc
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
See the 'USING ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES' section for information on
how to use the variables.
If all goes well, the configure script with automatically detect
the appropriate settings. However, you may need to specify
options and/or environment variables to obtain desired results.
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.
This step requires the standalone LDAP server, slapd(8), with
LDBM support.
If all goes well, the system has been built as configured. If
not, return to step 4 after reviewing your configuration
settings. You may want to consult the Installation section of
the FAQ if you have not done so already.
7. install the binaries and man pages. You may need to be superuser
to do this (depending on where you are installing things):
See the 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).
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.
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) VPATH support. If your
make(1) program is old and doesn't have VPATH support, install BSD
Make or GNU Make.
Follow these steps for each different platform:
1. Create a directory for the platform object files.
2. Change your working directory to the platform object directory.
% [env settings] ../configure --src-dir=.. [options]
Regrettably, this section has not been written (yet). See
"./configure --help" for current list of options. For general
information about how to use "configure", please read
doc/install/configure.
The configure script will also use your environmental variables for
determining compiler/linker options. This can be used to manual

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
o Including alternative compilers
Use the CC environment variable to tell configure to use a
specific compiler. For example, to use GNU C Compiler instead of
the default compiler, use:
% [env] CC=gcc ./configure
You can also use CC use specific flags with the specified
compiler. For example, to require strict ANSI C using the GNU C
Compiler, use:
% [env] CC="gcc -ansi -pedantic" ./configure
(you can use CFLAGS to specify compiler flags)
You may specify additional preprocessor flags by setting
CPPFLAGS. For example, if you would like to use headers
installed in /usr/local/include, use:
% [env] CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" ./configure
You can also use CPPFLAGS to specify preprocessor macros.
% [env] CPPFLAGS="-D__SPECIAL_FLAG__" ./configure
You may specify additional linker flags by setting LDFLAGS. For
example, if you would like to use libraries installed in
/usr/local/lib, use:
% [env] LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" ./configure
You can also use CPPFLAGS to specify linker flags:
You may alter your path to affect configure ability to find (or
not find) commands. For example, to have configure additionally
look in /usr/css/bin for commands, use:
% [env] PATH="/usr/css/bin:$PATH" ./configure
To use software under installed under /usr/local.
[env] \
CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" \
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" \
./configure
Note: You may have to add additional flags if your system supports
shared libraries.
