You're probably better off asking the people who built that package 
about what kind of Unix compatibility options they built into it. Or if 
the folks at ilex.fr aren't offering you any support, you probably 
should use a package built by people who actually understand the code 
and offer professional support. (Like Symas.)

In the default OpenLDAP code, the log function on Windows is just a stub 
that writes to a flat file named "openldap.log" that resides in the 
OpenLDAP installation directory.
