README

OpenLDAP Devel README
	OpenLDAP -devel is for the development of OpenLDAP.  As such,
	it changes often.  These changes include changes in functionality
	and unproven bug fixes.  Many of these changes will cause
	previous working programs to fail.

	Additional developer documents are available in doc/devel,
		todo list
		guidelines for developers

	Client developers seeking a stable development platform
	should use -stable.


OpenLDAP 1.1 Alpha README
	This is the OpenLDAP version 1.1 Alpha.

	For a description of what this distribution contains, see the
	ANNOUNCEMENT file in this directory.  For a description of
	changes from previous releases, see the CHANGES file in this
	directory.  For a more detailed description of how to make an
	install the distribution, see the INSTALL file in this directory.

	Additional installation information, such as per platform
	hints can be found in the doc/install directory.

	For more information:
		http://www.OpenLDAP.org/


REQUIRED SOFTWARE
	Build OpenLDAP requires the following software components:

	Base system (libraries and tools):
		Standard C compiler, headers, and libraries
		POSIX REGEX headers and libraries

	SLAPD:
		LDBM compatible datastore
			(Berkeley DB, Sleepycat DB2, or GDBM)

	SLURPD:
		LTHREAD compatible thread package
			(POSIX pthreads, MIT pthreads, Mach Cthreads or Sun LWP)

	LDAPD:
		ISODE compatible X.500 distribution

	CLIENTS/CONTRIB ware:
		Depends on package.  See per package README.
		

MAKING AND INSTALLING THE DISTRIBUTION
	This is a quick guide.  For details, see the INSTALL file.

	% ./configure
		autoconf OpenLDAP for current platform

	% make depend
		this will create dependency information

	% make 
		this will build the system

	% su
	# make install

    in this directory.  This should produce something that basically
    works.  You can "cd tests; make" to verify the build.

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

	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.

	Additional documentation can be found in the doc directory.
		doc/devel	Developer Information
		doc/drafts	LDAP-related IETF drafts
		doc/install	Installation and Integration
		doc/man		Raw man(1) pages
		doc/rfcs	LDAP-related Request for Comments

    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:
