+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.
+
+It is also recommended you review the Frequently Asked Questions
+(http://www.openldap.org/faq/) pages, in particular the Installation
+section (http://www.openldap.org/faq/index.cgi?file=8) and Platform
+Hints (http://www.openldap.org/faq/index.cgi?file=9) should be
+examined.
+
+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. The Platform Hints section of the FAQ provides help for
+ operating system related problems.
+
+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. You
+ may want to consult the Platform Hints subsection of the FAQ if
+ you have not done so already.
+
+6. Test the standalone system:
+
+ This step requires the standalone LDAP server, slapd(8), with HDB
+ and/or BDB 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. You may want to consult the Installation section of
+ the FAQ if you have not done so already.
+
+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).
