Use the following instructions to build the libraries and the binaries.
+External library requirements:
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
sssd depends on 4 libraries originated in the samba project:
talloc, tdb, tevent, ldb
They are now available in major distribution development branches.
-If you have these libraries installed skip to <<Compiling sssd with system
-installed libraries>>
-
If you want to build them from source download the latest samba master branch
-and use the following instructions
-
-Compiling libraries yourself
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-NOTE: these instructions are temporary and will most likely change agt some
-point but so far the process I describe here is the best one to get something up
-and working while developing this project.
-
-Each library and the sssd service have a --with-shared-build-dir configure option
-that is useful to build the libraries so that you can build all pieces before
-installing each library as a dependency.
-If you just want to make a development build you can provide a temporary
-directory where libraries are installed during the build process in a way that
-let each dependent library find them without having to install each binary into
-its finally system library directory (ie build as user).
-I use the following steps to build all pieces.
+Internal Library Requirements
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+sssd provides several required libraries within its source tree:
+collection
+ini_config
-export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/tmp/foo/lib
-pushd lib/talloc; ./autogen.sh && ./configure --with-shared-build-dir=/tmp/foo && make shared-build; popd
-pushd lib/tdb; ./autogen.sh && ./configure --with-shared-build-dir=/tmp/foo && make shared-build; popd

+Compiling sssd internal libraries
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-pushd server; ./autogen.sh && ./configure --with-shared-build-dir=/tmp/foo && make; popd

-At this point you can start testing the sssd daemon this way:
-
-cd server
-export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/tmp/foo/lib
-./sbin/sssd -i
+pushd common; \
+autoreconf -i -f && \
+./configure --enable-static --disable-shared && \
+make; \
+popd
-This will start the sssd daemon in interactive mode.
+This will build the libraries statically for linking into the sssd. Currently
+the sssd build system does not support dynamically linking. (The external API
+for collection and ini_config is not yet ready for general consumption).
Compiling sssd with system installed libraries
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-pushd server; ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make; popd
+pushd server; \
+./autogen.sh && \

Compiling client libraries
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-The nss and pam client doesn't need any dependency nor supports the
-shared-build option.
+The nss and pam client do not require any additional dependencies.
