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

Sun May 22 21:02:32 UTC 2016

Hello Ryan...

To save a lot of explanation... and a "see for yourself"....

If you can create a VM of ubuntu 14.04, 1604 OR Debian 8....

1) apt-get your build dependencies and build tools.

2) apt-get source slapd.

[edit your configure.options as you wish (FYI... I usually enable *all*
backends and overlays... and use tls=openssl)]

3) dh binary

That SHOWS you everything you need to know.

-----------------------------

I've deleted out all of the overrides in debian/rules (virtually everything
special regarding anything in ./contrib/slapd-modules)

I've also added blank var VERSION_OPTIONS= and GSSAPI_LIBS to configure.in

----

Doing all of that allows a complete compile and, as I type this msg to you,
it's running the tests.
