Making and Installing the OpenLDAP Distribution

===============================================

This file provides brief instructions on how to build and install

OpenLDAP on UNIX (and UNIX-like) systems.  More detailed information

and instructions can be found in The OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide

(available from http://www.openldap.org/doc/).

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 Frequently Asked 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!

2.   Type:

        % ./configure --help

     to list available configuration options.

     The configure script also looks for compiler/linker options on

     the command line and in the environment.  These include:

        Variable        Description     Example

        CC              C compiler      gcc

        CFLAGS          C flags         -O -g

        CPPFLAGS        cpp flags       -I/path/include -D__FOO__=42

        LDFLAGS         ld flags        -L/usr/local/lib

        LIBS            libraries       -llib

        PATH            command path    /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin

     See doc/install/configure for generic configure documentation.

3.   Configure the build system:

        % ./configure [options] [var=value ...]

     If all goes well, the configure script will automatically detect

     the appropriate settings.  If the configure script fails, you

     should read the config.log file that it generated to see what it

     was trying to do and exactly what failed.  You may need to

     specify additional options and/or variables besides those listed

     above to obtain desired results, depending on your operating

     system. The Platform Hints section of the FAQ provides help for

     operating system related problems.

4.   Build dependencies:

        % make depend

5.   Build the system:

        % make

     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.

6.   Test the standalone system:

     This step requires the standalone LDAP server, slapd(8), with HDB

     and/or BDB support.

        % make test

     If all goes well, the system has been built as configured.  If

     not, return to step 2 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 software.  You may need to become the super-user

     (e.g. root) to do this (depending on where you are installing

     things):

        % su root -c 'make install'

8.   That's it.  Enjoy!

See the OpenLDAP 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

        slapd.conf              Standalone LDAP daemon

        schema/*.schema         Schema Definitions
