But that section of tutorial starts with: Starting with SSSD 1.10 beta, we now include a set of helper aliases and environment variables in SSSD to simplify building development versions of SSSD on Fedora. To take advantage of them, use the following command: . /path/to/sssd-source/contrib/fedora/bashrc_sssd Would you prefer us to clarify even more that you need to source the file called "contrib/fedora/bashrc_sssd" from the sssd checkout?

I've amended the DevelTotorials to include some more generic instructions: https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/wiki/DevelTutorials?action=diff&version... > On a 32bit system, copy /usr/lib/libnss* to /lib and place your > sssd.conf at /usr/local/etc/sssd No, you shouldn't copy the libraries, you should use the --enable-nsslibdir and --enable-pammoddir configure switches. Unfortunately, the old BUILD.txt didn't mention that.
