Hello all, A program I'm building relies on OpenLDAP libraries. I found a package pkg://openindiana.org/library/openldap in category System/Libraries which is not just the set of libraries but also binaries, manpages, SMF manifests, etc. for, I guess, the whole thing.
I am no IPS guru so I wasn't able to easily list the facets (to see if any smaller subsets can be installed), and had to install the whole package (also, it failed initially due to an empty line at the end of /etc/passwd). For the peace of mind (i.e. having no extra programs and services that might unexpectedly run and/or conflict on my systems) I'd prefer to have a way of installing only the libraries and includes -- basically, what other systems often call the "*-dev" or "*-lib" packages, and what some of this list's members have recently argued against. Is there a way to do this now, or some RFEs ought to be filed in order to separate the packages into pieces like this? (I know, dependencies are overall a hell and this work hasn't been completed properly even with the resources and decades of time that Sun had) On a side note, I thought of building the particular program with static libraries, as to have less required dependencies on the executing systems. While SMColdap did include the libldap_r.a and such, the Sun and OI distro packages don't. Is this an oversight or a policy to discourage use of generic libs in a non-shared way? Thanks for your thoughts, //Jim Klimov _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
