Description Yusuf Goolamabbas 1998-12-16 07:55:46 UTC 
Hi, XEmacs <http://www.xemacs.org> provides (IMHO) a good way to link
in site specific libraries and include files via '--site-includes' and 
'--site-libraries' options to configure. This would make it easy to
link libraries such as Berkeley DB2 which might be in non standard
places 

Can this be incorporated into OpenLDAP. I am no autoconf expert but I
guess this feature could be easily be brought in from the XEmacs
configure.in file

Thanks, Yusuf

Autoconf already provides a mechanism (config.site) for adjusting
defaults for your site.  This mechanism could be used to augment
user specified environmental variables.

Hi Kurt, Most users of OpenLDAP might find that mechanism more
cumbersome that the equivalent scheme of providing that info in a
configure command line
