P1: Making and Installing the OpenLDAP Distribution

It is recommended that you read or at least skim through ALL of the
instructions in this file before attempting to build the software.

The OpenLDAP Installation FAQ is available at:

.{{URL:http://www.openldap.org/faq/index.cgi?file=8}}

You should also check for platform specific hints.
These are located in doc/install/hints or:

.{{URL:http://www.openldap.org/faq/index.cgi?file=9}}


P2: Making and Installing the OpenLDAP Distribution

^ untar the distribution and cd to the top:

E:	% tar xfz openldap-VERSION.tgz
E:	% cd openldap-VERSION

.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 configure script uses environmental variables for
determining compiler/linker options.  See the HINTS
section for commonly used settings. 

.These environment variables are used: 

>	CC		C compiler	gcc
>	CFLAGS		C flags		-ansi
>	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

.See the 'USING ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES' section for information
on how to use the variables. 

+ Configure the build system

E:	% [env settings] ./configure [options]

.If all goes well, the configure script with auto-detect the
appropriate settings.  Use configure enable/with options and/or
environment variables to obtain desired results.

+ Review the file include/ldapconfig.h.edit.

.You generally do not need to modify this file.  

E:	% view include/ldapconfig.h.edit

+ 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 4 after reviewing the configuration settings.

.You may want to consult the doc/install/hints file for your
platform.

+ Test the standalone system

.This step requires the standalone LDAP server (slapd) with
LDBM support.

E:	% cd tests
E:	% make
E:	% cd ..

.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 doc/install/hints file for your
platform.

+ install the binaries and man pages.  You may need to be superuser to
do this (depending on where you are installing things):

E:	% su root -c make install

+ That's it!

.See the man pages for the individual applications for
information on configuring and using them.  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
>	ldapfilter.conf		search filter configuration
>	ldapsearchprefs.conf	search object definitions
>	ldaptemplates.conf	display template definitions
>	slapd.conf		Standalone LDAP daemon

.There are section 5 man pages for all of these files.


P2: Building OpenLDAP For More Than One Platform

.You can build OpenLDAP for more than one platform from the
same source tree.
This is accomplished by using make(1) VPATH support.
If your make(1) program is old and doesn't have VPATH support,
install GNU Make.

.Follow these steps for each different platform:

^ Create a directory for the platform object files.

E:	% mkdir obj-platform

+ Change your working directory to the platform object directory.

E:	% cd obj-platform

+ Configure the build system

E:	% [env settings] ../configure --src-dir=.. [options]

( replace ".." with the appropriate path )

+ Continue as above (starting at step 6).

Note: make depend in VPATH environment is not yet supported.


P2: CONFIGURE OPTIONS

Regrettably, this section has not been written (yet).  See
"./configure --help" for current list of options.  For general
information about how to use "configure", please read:
	doc/install/configure


P2: USING ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

The configure script will also use your environmental
variables for determining compiler/linker options.   This can
be used to manual specify features and compilation options.

Note: If you change environment setting, be sure to remove
any config.cache before running ./configure.

Supported Environmental Variables:

>	CC		C compiler	cc
>	CFLAGS		C flags		-ansi
>	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

* Including alternative compilers

.Use the CC environment variable to tell configure to
use a specific compiler.  For example, to use ecgs
instead of the compiler configure choose, use:

E:	% [env] CC=egcc ./configure 

.You can also use CC use specific flags with the
specified compiler.  For example, to require strict
ANSI C using the GNU C Compiler, use:

E:	% [env] CC="gcc -ansi -pedantic" ./configure

.(you can use CFLAGS to specify compiler flags)

* Preprocessor Flags

.You may specify additional preprocessor flags by setting
CPPFLAGS.  For example, if you would like to use headers
installed in /usr/local/include, use:

E:	% [env] CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" ./configure

.You can also use CPPFLAGS to specify preprocessor macros.

E:	% [env] CPPFLAGS="-D__SPECIAL_FLAG__" ./configure

* Linker Flags

.You may specify additional linker flags by setting LDFLAGS.
For example, if you would like to use libraries installed
in /usr/local/lib, use:

E:	% [env] LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" ./configure

.You can also use CPPFLAGS to specify linker flags:

E:	% [env] LDFLAGS="-Bstatic" ./configure

* Path

.You may alter your path to affect configure ability to
find (or not find) commands.  For example, to have configure
additionally look in /usr/css/bin for commands, use:

E:	% [env] PATH="/usr/css/bin:$PATH" ./configure
	

* Use local software

E:	% [env] \
E:		CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" \
E:		LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" \
E:		./configure
