This file provides brief instructions on how to build and install
OpenLDAP on UNIX (and UNIX-{{like}}) system. More detailed
information and instructions can be found in
{{The OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide}}
({{URL:http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin/}}).
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}}
({{URL:http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin/}}),
the {{Frequently Asked Questions}} ({{URL:http://www.openldap.org/faq/}})
pages, in particular the
{{Installation section}} ({{URL:http://www.openldap.org/faq/index.cgi?file=8}})
and
{{Platform Hints}} ({{URL:http://www.openldap.org/faq/index.cgi?file=9}})
should be examined.
P2: Making and Installing the OpenLDAP Distribution
^ Unpack the distribution and change directory:
E: % tar xfz openldap-VERSION.tgz
E: % cd openldap-VERSION
.(replacing {{EX:VERSION}} with the appropriate version string). If
you are reading this file, you probably have already done this!
+ Type:
E: % ./configure --help
.to list available configuration options. A description of
these options is provided in the 'CONFIGURE OPTIONS' section
below.
.The {{EX:configure}} script uses environmental variables for
determining compiler/linker options including:
> Variable Description Example
> 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
+ Configure the build system
E: % [env settings] ./configure [options]
.If all goes well, the {{EX:configure}} script with automatically
detect the appropriate settings. However, you may need to
specify options and/or environment variables to obtain desired
results.
+ Build dependencies
E: % make depend
+ Build the system
E: % 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.
+ Test the standalone system
.This step requires the standalone LDAP server, {{slapd}}(8),
with {{LDBM}} support.
E: % make test
.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.
+ install the binaries and man pages. You may need to be come the
{{super-user}} (e.g. {{EX:root}}) to do this (depending on where you
are installing things):
E: % su root -c 'make install'
+ That's it!
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
{{F:/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
