REQUIRED SOFTWARE
Build OpenLDAP requires the following software components:
Base system (libraries and tools):
Standard C compiler, headers, and libraries
POSIX REGEX headers and libraries
SLAPD:
LDBM compatible datastore
(Berkeley DB, Sleepycat DB2, or GDBM)
SLURPD:
LTHREAD compatible thread package
(POSIX pthreads, MIT pthreads, Mach Cthreads or Sun LWP)
LDAPD:
ISODE compatible X.500 distribution
CLIENTS/CONTRIB ware:
Depends on package. See per package README.
This is a quick guide. For details, see the INSTALL file.
% ./configure
autoconf OpenLDAP for current platform
% make depend
this will create dependency information
% 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.
