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). + + ldap.conf client defaults + slapd.conf Standalone LDAP daemon + schema/*.schema Schema Definitions + +--- +$OpenLDAP: pkg/openldap-guide/release/install.sdf,v 1.16 2002/02/18 +17:09:26 kurt Exp $ + +This work is part of OpenLDAP Software <http://www.openldap.org/>. + +Copyright 1998-2021 The OpenLDAP Foundation. +All rights reserved. + +Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without +modification, are permitted only as authorized by the OpenLDAP +Public License. + +A copy of this license is available in the file LICENSE in the +top-level directory of the distribution or, alternatively, at +<http://www.OpenLDAP.org/license.html>. + +OpenLDAP is a registered trademark of the OpenLDAP Foundation. |
