Building OpenLDAP for Windows

Hi,

I have googled and browsed your mailing list archives for instructions on how to build OpenLDAP for Windows but havenâ??t found any up-to-date information on it. Is such a thing still supported? I found out that at least Visual Studio workspace files were dropped away some years and versions ago. I would need an OpenLDAP lib that can be linked by Visual Studio 2013 (and probably by later VS versions in the future).

I have Windows 8.1, Cygwin 1.7.35(0.287/5/3) and MinGW. I have tried to do according to this: http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/897.html but ran into issues already in the ./configure phase (btw, it says â??WARNING: unrecognized options: --disable-slurpdâ??). The final error in running that is this: configure: error: select() required.

Iâ??m not familiar with Unixes but Google told me that select() is a native Unix command. Is that correct and if so, what should I do with a Windows machine to handle that? Or should I do the whole building task according to some completely different instructions? I need only the client side of OpenLDAP.

Thanks for any help in advance!

Ps. Just in case it matters, this is the corresponding part extracted from my config.log:

| /* Override any GCC internal prototype to avoid an error.

|Â Â Â Use char because int might match the return type of a GCC

|Â Â Â builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply.Â */

| #ifdef __cplusplus

| extern "C"

| #endif

| char select ();

| /* The GNU C library defines this for functions which it implements

|Â Â Â Â to always fail with ENOSYS.Â Some functions are actually named

|Â Â Â Â something starting with __ and the normal name is an alias.Â */

| #if defined __stub_select || defined __stub___select

| choke me

| #endif

| int

| main ()

| {

| return select ();

|Â Â ;

|Â Â return 0;

| }

configure:14150: result: no

configure:14154: error: select() required.
