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.
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

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 ldap distribution
CLIENTS/CONTRIBware:
Depends on package. See per package README.
MAKING AND INSTALLING THE DISTRIBUTION
You should be able to make and install the distribution with a
default configuration by typing the following commands:
% ./configure --help
This will list the available options.
The configure script will also use your environmental
variables for determining compiler/linker options.
These environment variables are used:
CC C compiler (cc, ecgs)
CFLAGS C Flags (-ansi)
CPPFLAGS CPP Flags (-I -D)
LDFLAGS LDFLAGS (-L -l)
% [env settings] ./configure [options]
this will configure the build system
% 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.
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:
