OpenLDAP 2.4.21

[thomas]

Compiles (at least) fine with new BerkeleyDB. The 2.4 series is considered as stable (if i interpret the statement on the OpenLDAP site right).

[Stefan Morrell]

2.4.11 is considered stable (and doesn't work with BDB 4.7)

2.4.12 is considered release (and does work) - and will need the conifigure options tweaking. As it stands on today's SVN, it's wanting some kind of SQL setting up in order to configure up.

Error in build of 2.4.12 in combination with Glibc 2.8

cc -g -O2 -I../../include -I../../include -c -o getpeereid.o getpeereid.c getpeereid.c: In function 'lutil_getpeereid': getpeereid.c:65: error: storage size of 'peercred' isn't known make[2]: * [getpeereid.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/sources/openldap-2.4.12/libraries/liblutil' make[1]: * [all-common] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/sources/openldap-2.4.12/libraries' make: * [all-common] Error 1

Workaround:

CPPFLAGS=-D_GNU_SOURCE ./configure --someoptions

A patch to bring BLFS to OpenLDAP 2.4.13

[willimm]

Update to OpenLDAP 2.4.13.

I also used Tromader's build fix and removed a GMP refrence.

[willimm]

Oh, and BTW, the XML is still valid with this patch, but it still needs real world testing.

Modified milestone from 6.4 to 6.5

[Stefan Morrell]

I've just built 2.4.16

Now, I'm doing this to enable ADS support in samba, so I'm not interested in running an LDAP database on my system, so I'm using the --disable-sql configure option.

That said, the configure script wants to build the MySQL cluster backend for SLAPD regardless and chokes with
checking for mysql_config... yes
checking for NdbApi.hpp... configure: error: could not locate NdbApi headers

I'm working around this by adding

--disable-nbd

to my configure options

[Stefan Morrell]

Also: 2.4.12 won't build with gcc4.4 (as in LFS 6.5). Fixed in 2.4.13 and later so might as well advance the OpenLDAP version associated with this ticket.

[Randy McMurchy]

Version increment to 2.4.21

[Wayne Blaszczyk]

It would be good if there was a section on a client only build. eg ./configure --disable-slapd --disable-slurpd (from memory, one of these two options doesn't exist in later versions).

[Randy McMurchy]

It appears OpenLDAP is catching up in their "Stable" releases. The most current release of LDAP is their "Stable" version. This makes it easy to do the updates.

Version increment to 2.4.21 which is also the "Stable" version.

As this ticket is for the update to OpenLDAP, I'll go ahead and write a small paragraph to indicate that you do not need to build the servers if you only need the client pieces.

[Randy McMurchy]

Updated BLFS to OpenLDAP-2.4.21

Also provided instructions for a client-only build.
