Hi all,
I am trying to build the LDAP C SDK from Mozilla under cygwin
and am looking for some advice.
The web page here:
http://www.mozilla.org/directory/csdk.html
lays out the steps to build the Mozilla C SDK from source.
And, this page offers hints for building Mozilla for Windows:
http://www.mozilla.org/build/win32.html#ss2.2b
The issue is as follows:
"The Windows build uses a UNIX emulator for Windows, cygwin,
to control the build process, and command line tools from
Microsoft's Visual C++ to build its source files. "
I don't have Visual C++ and I would like to build this SDK
using only CYGWIN tools.
FWIW: I need this to build the PerLDAP Modules for Perl.
Any built these tools without using MSVC++ components?
Other useful advice? Thanks in advance ...
