[Pkg-openldap-devel] DEBIAN / UBUNTU OPENLDAP WILL NOT BUILD FROM SOURCE

[GI Joe]

OpenLdap will not build from source.  I've had to massage it since Ubuntu
14.04.  Looks like changes were made back in 2014 that are causing the
problems.

It's been a real PITA for the last ~3 years.

I don't know what upstream was trying to accomplish but it APPEARS to be
somone wanted to support put gssapi stuff in for SAMBA.

configure.in is buggered.
debian/rules is buggered.

I have to comment out stuff.... and add new VARS to configure.in just to
get it this far.  I usually just delete all the 'crap' out.

Regardless, compiling from source is worthless.

Try it yourself from a 'fresh' install of 1404 or 1604 or Debian 8.  Makes
no difference.  Results are the same.

grep these compile-time VAR culprits and search the version control logs.
Looks like the suspect changes were made 2009.
