1Making and Installing the OpenLDAP Distribution 2=============================================== 3 4This file provides brief instructions on how to build and install 5OpenLDAP on UNIX (and UNIX-like) systems. More detailed information 6and instructions can be found in The OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide 7(available from http://www.openldap.org/doc/). 8 9It is recommended that you read, or at least skim through, ALL of the 10instructions in this file before attempting to build the software. 11 12Making and Installing the OpenLDAP Distribution 13----------------------------------------------- 14 151. Unpack the distribution and change directory: 16 17 % tar xfz openldap-VERSION.tgz 18 % cd openldap-VERSION 19 20 (replacing VERSION with the appropriate version string). If you 21 are reading this file, you probably have already done this! 22 232. Type: 24 25 % ./configure --help 26 27 to list available configuration options. 28 29 The configure script also looks for compiler/linker options on 30 the command line and in the environment. These include: 31 32 Variable Description Example 33 CC C compiler gcc 34 CFLAGS C flags -O -g 35 CPPFLAGS cpp flags -I/path/include -D__FOO__=42 36 LDFLAGS ld flags -L/usr/local/lib 37 LIBS libraries -llib 38 PATH command path /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin 39 40 See doc/install/configure for generic configure documentation. 41 423. Configure the build system: 43 44 % ./configure [options] [var=value ...] 45 46 If all goes well, the configure script will automatically detect 47 the appropriate settings. If the configure script fails, you 48 should read the config.log file that it generated to see what it 49 was trying to do and exactly what failed. You may need to 50 specify additional options and/or variables besides those listed 51 above to obtain desired results, depending on your operating 52 system. 53 544. Build dependencies: 55 56 % make depend 57 585. Build the system: 59 60 % make 61 62 If all goes well, the system will build as configured. If not, 63 return to step 3 after reviewing the configuration settings. 64 656. Test the standalone system: 66 67 This step requires the standalone LDAP server, slapd(8), with MDB 68 support. 69 70 % make test 71 72 If all goes well, the system has been built as configured. If 73 not, return to step 2 after reviewing your configuration 74 settings. 75 767. Install the software. You may need to become the super-user 77 (e.g. root) to do this (depending on where you are installing 78 things): 79 80 % su root -c 'make install' 81 828. That's it. Enjoy! 83 84See the OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide and the manual pages for the 85individual applications for configuration and use information. You may 86also want to edit the configuration files used by the various 87components. These configuration files are located in the OpenLDAP 88configuration directory (normally /usr/local/etc/openldap). 89 90 ldap.conf client defaults 91 slapd.conf Standalone LDAP daemon 92 lload.conf LDAP Load Balancer daemon 93 schema/*.schema Schema Definitions 94 95--- 96This work is part of OpenLDAP Software <http://www.openldap.org/>. 97 98Copyright 1998-2021 The OpenLDAP Foundation. 99All rights reserved. 100 101Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without 102modification, are permitted only as authorized by the OpenLDAP 103Public License. 104 105A copy of this license is available in the file LICENSE in the 106top-level directory of the distribution or, alternatively, at 107<http://www.OpenLDAP.org/license.html>. 108 109OpenLDAP is a registered trademark of the OpenLDAP Foundation. 110
