There are a few issues with building on Fedora (5 or later): 1) Need to be able to build with db4.2, db4.3, db4.4, etc. This version auto-detects the db version from the db.h file it finds. In order to use a different db version, just use --with-db or --with-db-inc that points to a different db.h 2) mozldap and svrcore are now part of Fedora, so we need to look for those components. Look for mozldap6 first to allow building on RHEL-4 as well. mozldap now includes libldif, so add that to the link line. svrcore-devel is now just svrcore - a svrcore runtime package and a svrcore-devel build time package. 3) FHS means FHS - /etc, /var/, prefix=/usr and exec_prefix=/usr. It doesn't make any sense to talk about FHS under a prefix. This means the default build will do /opt/fedora-ds/etc, var, lib, bin, share, and so on.

Fix Description: There are a few issues with building on Fedora (5 or later): 1) Need to be able to build with db4.2, db4.3, db4.4, etc. This version auto-detects the db version from the db.h file it finds. In order to use a different db version, just use configure --with-db=path or --with-db-inc=path that points to a different db.h 2) mozldap and svrcore are now part of Fedora, so we need to look for those components. Look for mozldap6 first to allow building on RHEL-4 as well. mozldap now includes libldif, so add that to the link line. svrcore-devel is now just svrcore - a svrcore runtime package and a svrcore-devel build time package. 3) FHS means FHS - /etc, /var/, prefix=/usr and exec_prefix=/usr. It doesn't make any sense to talk about FHS under a prefix. This means the default build will do /opt/fedora-ds/etc, var, lib, bin, share, and so on instead of /opt/fedora-ds/usr/etc. --with-fhs resets prefix=/usr and exec_prefix=/usr, and overrides the default settings for sysconfdir and localstatedir So, different build types: FHS - use configure --with-fhs - uses /etc, /var, /usr/lib, /usr/share, etc. Nothing - configure - uses /opt/fedora-ds/etc/, var/, bin/, lib/, etc. GNU style - configure --prefix=/usr/local - /usr/local/etc, /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/var, and so on Developers can use configure --prefix=/home/user/fds && make && make install to install local versions Platforms tested: FC-6 Flag Day: no Doc impact: no
Changed QA Whiteboard to to_be_verified_by_dev.
We have been building on Fedora 5 and later (and are even included in the distribution) for some time now. Marking as VERIFIED.
