Can someone please describe to me (and/or point me to documentation) so that I can tinker with the build process of openldap as provided with fink? I'd like to do things the fink-way and not go strictly off of OpenLDAP's website, so that's why I'm asking here.

For the simple purpose of just getting the package to compile with back_ldbm, it looks like you would just need to copy '/sw/fink/dists/unstable/crypto/finkinfo/openldap-ssl.info' to '/sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo/' and add '--enable-ldbm' to the ConfigureParams line. Then, when you rebuild ('fink rebuild openldap-ssl'), Fink should pick up the version in your local directory instead of the distributed info file.


Please consider posting your changes to this list after testing.

For more information on the .info files and the overall build process, there is a tutorial here:

   http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/quick-start-pkg/index.php

and the packaging reference manual here:

   http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/packaging/index.php

Note that you don't have to use dpkg and apt-get directly.
