I've been working a little bit towards setting up a build environment for fds in debian. I've never actually built anything this complex, and in general my compiling experience is somewhat lacking. I'm trying to follow the write up at http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building . Which states you have to build the mozilla components first. Here's where it gets interesting. nspr and nss are already installed on the systems by default. ii libnspr4-0d 1.8.0.15~pre080131b-0etch1 NetScape Portable Runtime Library ii libnspr4-dev 1.8.0.15~pre080131b-0etch1 Development files for the NetScape Portable ii libnss3-0d 1.8.0.15~pre080131b-0etch1 Network Security Service libraries ii libnss3-0d-dbg 1.8.0.15~pre080131b-0etch1 Development files for the Network Security S ii libnss3-dev 1.8.0.15~pre080131b-0etch1 Development files for the Network Security S ii libnss3-tools 1.8.0.15~pre080131b-0etch1 Network Security Service tools But they have a goofy version number dictated by the xulrunner package. http://packages.debian.org/source/etch/xulrunner ywgbuild:/usr/src/dsbuild/meta/ds# pkg-config --modversion xulrunner-nss 1.8.0.13pre ywgbuild:/usr/src/dsbuild/meta/ds# pkg-config --modversion xulrunner-nspr 4.6.7 Now, I'm not sure why nspr is reporting it's true version number, while nss is reporting the 1.8.0 version when it should be something like 3.10 or 3.11. And, I've been digging on the debian packages listings trying to figure out just which version nss is. Any idea how to pull the version number right out of the shared lib? Anyhow I moved on to try and build the next component, svrcore. I had to do some fudging with pkg-config (ln -s xulrunner-nspr.pc nspr.pc and ln -s xulrunner-nss.pc nss.pc) in order for svrcore's configure to work (prolly a RH vs debian package naming issue). So I ./configure --prefix=/opt/svrcore and it makes and make install's ok. I add /opt/svrcore/lib to ld.so.conf, and run ldconfig. ywgbuild:/opt/svrcore# strings /etc/ld.so.cache |grep svrcore libsvrcore.so.0 /opt/svrcore/lib/libsvrcore.so.0 libsvrcore.so /opt/svrcore/lib/libsvrcore.so ywgbuild:/opt/svrcore# pkg-config --modversion svrcore 4.0.4 Next on the list is the mozldap library ywgbuild:/usr/src/mozldap-6.0.5/mozilla/directory/c-sdk# ./configure --enable-clu --with-sasl --with-svrcore --enable-optimize --disable-debug --prefix=/opt/mozldap works ok. But then make throws this gcc -o ntuserpin.o -c -pipe -ansi -Wall -pthread -O2 -fPIC -UDEBUG -DNDEBUG=1 -DXP_UNIX=1 -D_POSIX_SOURCE=1 -D_BSD_SOURCE=1 -D_SVID_SOURCE=1 -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE=1 -DHAVE_FCNTL_FILE_LOCKING=1 -DLINUX=1 -Dlinux=1 -Di386=1 -DHAVE_LCHOWN=1 -DHAVE_STRERROR=1 -DHAVE_GETADDRINFO=1 -DHAVE_GETNAMEINFO=1 -DHAVE_SASL=1 -DHAVE_SASL_OPTIONS=1 -DLDAP_SASLIO_HOOKS=1 -D_REENTRANT=1 -DNET_SSL -DNO_LIBLCACHE -DLDAP_REFERRALS -DNS_DOMESTIC -DLINUX2_0 -DLINUX1_2 -DLINUX2_1 -DLDAP_TOOL_ARGPIN -DLDAP_TOOL_PKCS11 -DFORCE_PR_LOG -D_PR_PTHREADS -UHAVE_CVAR_BUILT_ON_SEM -I/usr/include/nss -I/usr/include/nspr -I/usr/include/nspr -I/usr/include/sasl -I../../../../../dist/public/ldap -I../../../ldap/include -I/opt/svrcore/include -I/usr/include/nspr -I/usr/include/nss ntuserpin.c c++ -o bin/ldapdelete ldapdelete.o common.o convutf8.o fileurl.o ldaptool-sasl.o argpin.o ntuserpin.o -L../../../../../dist/./lib -lssldap60 -lprldap60 -lldap60 -lldif60 -L../../../../../dist/lib -lsvrcore -lssl3 -lnss3 -lsoftokn3 -L/usr/lib -lplds4 -lplc4 -lnspr4 -lpthread -ldl -lplc4 -lplds4 -lnspr4 -lsasl2 -ldl -lresolv -lpthread /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lsvrcore collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [bin/ldapdelete] Error 1 ywgbuild:/tmp# strace -o out ld -l svrcore ld: cannot find -lsvrcore ywgbuild:/tmp# grep open out open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/usr/lib/libbfd-2.17.so", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3 open("a.out", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC|O_LARGEFILE, 0666) = 3 open("/usr/bin/../lib/libsvrcore.so", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/bin/../lib/libsvrcore.a", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/i486-linux-gnu/lib32/libsvrcore.so", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/i486-linux-gnu/lib32/libsvrcore.a", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/local/lib32/libsvrcore.so", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/local/lib32/libsvrcore.a", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/lib32/libsvrcore.so", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/lib32/libsvrcore.a", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/lib32/libsvrcore.so", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/lib32/libsvrcore.a", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/i486-linux-gnu/lib/libsvrcore.so", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/i486-linux-gnu/lib/libsvrcore.a", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/local/lib/libsvrcore.so", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/local/lib/libsvrcore.a", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/lib/libsvrcore.so", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/lib/libsvrcore.a", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/lib/libsvrcore.so", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/lib/libsvrcore.a", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/share/locale/locale.alias", O_RDONLY) = 4 open("/usr/share/locale/en_CA/LC_MESSAGES/ld.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/share/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/ld.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) So I'm not sure why ld doesn't want to look in /opt/svrcore/lib for the libsvrcore shared libs. it just looks in the default spots according to strace. Did I mess up somewhere? As a quick fix I just symlinked /opt/svrcore/lib/libsvrcore.(a|so) to /usr/lib and it built. mozldap doesn't make install apparently, but creates a dist directory symlinking all the built apps and libs. So I just copied /usr/src/mozldap-6.0.5/mozilla/dist to /opt/mozldap copying the files rather then preserving the symlinks. add /opt/mozldap/lib to ld.so.conf && ldconfig ywgbuild:/opt/mozldap/bin# strings /etc/ld.so.cache |grep mozldap /opt/mozldap/lib/libssldap60.so /opt/mozldap/lib/libprldap60.so /opt/mozldap/lib/libldif60.so /opt/mozldap/lib/libldap60.so So those libs look to be installed ok. I then hacked up a fedora mozldap.pc (the make process didn't generate one, but the mozldap.pc.in file is there..) ywgbuild:/tmp/usr/lib/pkgconfig# cat mozldap.pc prefix=/opt/mozldap exec_prefix=${prefix} libdir=${prefix}/lib includedir=${prefix}/include bindir=${prefix}/bin major=6 minor=0 submin=5 libsuffix=60 Name: mozldap Description: Mozilla LDAP C SDK Version: 6.0.5 Requires: nspr >= 4.6 , nss >= 1.8.0.13pre Libs: -lssldap60 -lprldap60 -lldap60 Cflags: -I${includedir} But again I end up in a spot where ld can't find the libs I just installed. So I symlynk'd everything in /opt/mozldap/lib to /usr/lib/ Then ld -lssldap60 -lprldap60 -lldap60 wouldn't complain about not being able to find the libs anymore. Now for perl-ldap export LDAPSDKINCDIR="/opt/mozldap/include" export LDAPSDKDIR="/opt/mozldap" export LDAPSDKLIBDIR="/opt/mozldap/lib" export NSPRINCDIR="/usr/include/nspr" export NSPRLIBDIR="/usr/lib" export NSSLIBDIR="/usr/lib" make would puke complaining about missing ldap-standard.h ln -s /opt/mozldap/public/ldap/ldap-standard.h /opt/mozldap/include/ldap-standard.h ywgbuild:/usr/src/perl-mozldap-1.5.2# make cc -c -I/opt/mozldap/include -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -DTHREADS_HAVE_PIDS -DDEBIAN -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -O2 -DVERSION=\"1.5\" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.5\" -fPIC "-I/usr/lib/perl/5.8/CORE" -DUSE_SSL API.c Running Mkbootstrap for Mozilla::LDAP::API () chmod 644 API.bs rm -f blib/arch/auto/Mozilla/LDAP/API/API.so LD_RUN_PATH="/opt/mozldap/lib" LD_RUN_PATH=/opt/mozldap/lib cc -shared -L/usr/local/lib API.o -o blib/arch/auto/Mozilla/LDAP/API/API.so \ -L/opt/mozldap/lib -lssldap60 -lprldap60 -lldap60 -L/usr/lib -lssl3 -lnss3 -L/usr/lib -lplc4 -lnspr4 \ chmod 755 blib/arch/auto/Mozilla/LDAP/API/API.so cp API.bs blib/arch/auto/Mozilla/LDAP/API/API.bs chmod 644 blib/arch/auto/Mozilla/LDAP/API/API.bs Manifying blib/man3/Mozilla::LDAP::Conn.3pm Manifying blib/man3/Mozilla::LDAP::Utils.3pm Manifying blib/man3/Mozilla::LDAP::Entry.3pm Manifying blib/man3/Mozilla::LDAP::LDIF.3pm Manifying blib/man3/Mozilla::LDAP::API.3pm So where I'm at now, using sysyem nspr and nss, built mozldap and installed to /opt/mozldap, built svrcore and installed to /opt/svrcore and built perl-ldap, not installing it anywhere. So I figured I would give the newer dsbuild a shot at building the directory server. And it cranks away for a while then comes back with a message complaining about ldap agent and snmp.
