The usual procedure is to run `configure' and `make' in the install tree as an ordinary user, and then to run `make install' there as root. This install procedure writes to the install tree as root. In some cases, it actually relinks a shared library as root. We build on one server and install on another, where the install tree is mounted read-only. These errors prevent installation in this case.

Here are some of the errors:

cd overlays; make dynamic sh: slapd.conf.tmp: cannot create *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `all-cffiles'

cd overlays; make dynamic touch: cannot change times on all-cffiles *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `all-cffiles'

sh: ldapcompare.1.tmp: cannot create *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `all-common'

The first few were fixed in servers/slapd/Makefile.in by putting all-cffiles and slapd.conf.tmp in /tmp instead of in the source tree. The man page error was fixed build/man.mk by putting the temporary man pages like $$page.$(TMP_SUFFIX) into /tmp.

The relinking error looked like this:

Entering subdirectory libldap ../../build/shtool mkdir -p /usr/local/lib /bin/sh ../..//libtool --mode=install ../../build/shtool install -c -m 644 libldap.la /usr/local/lib libtool: install: warning: relinking `libldap.la' ... mv: cannot rename libldap-2.3.so.0.2.26 to libldap-2.3.so.0.2.26U: Read-only file system libtool: install: error: relink `libldap.la' with the above command before installing it *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `install-local'

Really, it shouldn't be doing relinking at that point, when running as root. Perhaps it could do it earlier, during the compile step. I had to do a `make install' as root in libraries/liblber on build server and then modify the Makefiles in libraries/libldap and libraries/libldap_r to link with the installed library, in order to avoid the relink on the install server. This worked, but is not a good solution.
