Sun ONE v5.2 build

[Michal K. <mk...@po...>]

Hi,

It seems I am supposed to give up and change a directory server ;-).
I have Sun ONE v5.2 on a Solaris 9 and I need to build python-ldap
against it. 

Many places on the web suggest it actually can be done but at the 
moment I stumbled on  "ldap_schema.h" include file - absent in SO 
and supposedly present in OpenLDAP install.

I'd be really greatfull if anyone with such config could share his/her
experiences.

I use gcc 3.3.1 and python-ldap-2.0.0pre20.
Thanks,

You cannot build recent python-ldap with Netscape/Sun libs, you need the 
OpenLDAP 2.1+ libs for that. Off course you can use python-ldap to query a 
SunONE server.

You can build and install the OpenLDAP libs in a completely separate 
directory without the server demons.

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/openldap --disable-slapd --disable-slurpd

Depending whether you need SASL and/or SSL/StartTLS you have to build and 
install Cyrus-SASL and/or OpenSSL before that.

And then adjust python-ldap's setup.cfg to match the prefix above.

library_dirs = /usr/local/openldap/lib
include_dirs = /usr/local/openldap/include

Ciao, Michael.
