RE: Win32 compilation problem



Title: RE: Win32 compilation problem

Just for clarification,

Now that Mike refreshes my memory, the stdio.h include was also in my list of problems. As I indicated in the previous post, I also had some strange issues with hidden characters, but that was on perhaps only 2-3 lines. Also as previously indicated, I had a problem with a function that creates a temporary file and returns a handle to it. I could not find that function (mkstemp) in any of the standard header files provided with VC++6 (though I wonder whether that wasn't an install issue on our end), so we just wrote our own. From there life was great other than the basic operational learning curve issues than I'm still dealing with.

One side note - lest I sound all negative about the W32 build - the 2.0.19 build is *substantially* easier to build than the 2.0.11 build. I have to believe that this was due to some serious effort on someone's part to roll some of the changes that used to be required into the core build. To whoever did that effort - thanks (trying to build 2.0.11 was driving me crazy making sure I had ever little change perfect).

Hi Guy,

I had the same problem building Win32 OpenLDAP "right out of the box" at first, but you can workaround it pretty easily.

The problem is proto-slap.h doesn't know about struct FILE - which is declared in <stdio.h>.

The simple workaround is to add #include <stdio.h> to the top of proto-slap.h.

But, just to make sure it didn't bite me again I added the following to portable.nt and then rebuilt 'setup':

/* we have <stdio.h> */
#define HAVE_STDIO_H 1

#ifdef HAVE_STDIO_H
#       include <stdio.h>
#endif

Which works fine and seems to me like the right thing to do.  Other than that, you should be able to get slapd to build as long as you've made sure to build REGEX, SASL and BerkeleyDB and get them into your linker and runtime paths.

IMHO, I actually found the whole OpenLDAP VC++ project workspace pretty darned well organized for dealing with unix/windows build issues.  It was actually a significant reason why I decided to try to work with the Win32 port in the first place.

Anyway, hope this helps and good luck!

Mike

How can I correct this ?
