Making OpenLDAP for Linux (ITS#616)

[ldidillon@prologue-software.fr]

Hi,

I'm just beginning to use OpenLdap (1.2.9) in conjunction with nss-ldap and
pam-ldap.

to Make The OpenLdap with gdbm backend and to get shared libraries
(libldap.so and liblber.so) I have type the following command:

./configure --with-ldbm-api=gdbm --enable-shared=yes --enable-static=no

and then:

make depend
make
make install

Is that good? because I don't really know how to use the options
--enable-shared and --enable-static because I don't understand what means
the following lines (when you type : ./configure --help)
--enable-static[=PKGS]  ... (default=yes)
--enable-shared[=PKGS]  ... (default=no)
what values do I use for PKGS?
