RE: OpenLDAP MinGW Build: select() required

["Jason Raneses" <jason@raneses.com>]

Thanks for your help Howard...I really appreciate it.  I've set an
additional lib dir via the LDFLAGS environment variable, and I've set the
LIBS environment variable to LIBS=-WS2_32.Lib, and after running configure
again, here's what I'm seeing:

$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mingw --host=i686-pc-mingw32

Something is wrong with your library paths, since the configure script was
unable to find the winsock library. Make sure the ws2_32 library is
available.
