Very Quick Guide to build sssd components
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Use the following instructions to build the libraries and the binaries.
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.

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/tmp/foo/lib
pushd talloc; ./autogen.sh && ./configure --with-shared-build-dir=/tmp/foo && make shared-build; popd
pushd tdb; ./autogen.sh && ./configure --with-shared-build-dir=/tmp/foo && make shared-build; popd
pushd events; ./autogen.sh && ./configure --with-shared-build-dir=/tmp/foo && make shared-build; popd
pushd ldb; ./autogen.sh && ./configure --with-shared-build-dir=/tmp/foo && make shared-build; popd
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

This will start the sssd daemon in interactive mode.


The nss_client doesn't need any dependency nor supports the shared-build option.

pushd nss_client; ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make; popd

Now you have to copy libnss_sss* into /lib (or /lib64) and add the 'sss' traget
to nsswitch.conf passwd database
