In order to compile GNARWL, the following software packages are required:
- libgdbm (v1.8.0 or later)
- openldap2 (v2.0.23 or later)
- GNU make, groff, gzip and gcc
Please note, that modern Linux distributions split libraries into two packages. One containing the library itself and the other containing the development headers. Both packages must be installed in that case in order to compile the software.
Compiling GNARWL itself should be a straightforward process. Simply download and extract the tarball, change directories and issue the following commands:
./configure
make
make install
make perm
This will install the software under /usr/local, create a system account for GNARWL and setup file permissions.
