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.
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.
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.
6. Test the standalone system:
This step requires the standalone LDAP server, slapd(8), with MDB
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.
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).
