MAKING AND INSTALLING THE DISTRIBUTION

    You should be able to make and install the distribution with a pretty
    standard default configuration by typing the following commands

	% cp Make-common.dist to Make-common
		Note: if using gmake, instead copy Make-common.gmake to Make-common
		Edit Make-common as desired.
	% make 
		this will build the system
	% su
	# make install

    in this directory.  This should produce something that basically
    works.

    You will probably want to do a little configuration to suit your
    site, though.  There are two files you might want to edit:

	Make-common.dist
		contains distribution defaults.  This file is used to
		contruct Make-common and should not be edited except to
		add new features/options to the distribution.
	
	Make-common.gmake
		contains distribution defaults (with GNU make compatibility).
		This file can be used to contruct Make-common and should not
		be edited except to add new features/options to the distribution.

	Make-common
		contains default definitions for where things will be
		installed, where to find various things, etc.  These defaults
		are used in absense of platform-specific defaults.  You may
		hardcode settings in Make-common if you desire.  You will
		need to edit this file to enable optional features.

	build/*/Make-platform
		contains platform-specific defaults.

	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:
