Building LDAP C SDK with VS.NET 2005 (8.0) ?

[Michael J. Wheeler]

Hello all,

Today I built the LDAP C SDK on my Windows XP SP2 desktop machine. The
build went off without a hitch using the build script recomended on the
Windows Build Prerequesites page except for one thing: I copy and pasted
the recommended commands into a batch file called build.bat .. The line
that says: CALL %VCVARS% wouldn't execute because the VCVARS environment
variable isn't quoted when it is defined. Placing quotes around it fixes
the problem. It gave an error along the lines of "cannot find file C:\Program".

Now on to my main problem:
First, I built the libraries with VS .NET 8.0 . Whenever I tried to run a
program which links against these libraries, I get a Windows runtime error
R6034. A fix is described this page:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-US/library/ms235560(VS.80).aspx

It says something about needing a manifest included before the libraries
will load? Has anybody ever uses these libraries on Windows when built with
VS .NET 8.0?

I also built the libraries with VS .NET 7.0, and I did not get this error
when running my test program.

Thanks

Oops.. sorry for replying to myself, but the second time I built the
libraries, I used VS .NET 7.1, not 7.0

Sorry for the mix-up.

Hi,

Could you please let me know the build environment required for Windows environment.

As of now am using Cygwin but no luck. I am trying to build Mozilla LDAP c-SDK for Windows platform.

I think you'll have to use MozillaBuild
https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Developer_Guide/Build_Instructions/Windows_Prerequisites 
instead of cygwin to build nspr and nss.  You can also use MozillaBuild
to build mozldap.  MozillaBuild 1.3 had a bug - it is supposed to
translate argument switches from unix style to windows style - e.g. if
you say

cl -I/path/to/something

it is supposed to convert the -I to /I to pass to cl.exe.  This does not
work with -L - it does not translate this to /LIBPATH: - So you will
have to set the LIB environment variable explicitly to the location of
the nspr and nss libraries.  I don't know if the new MozillaBuild 1.4
addresses this problem.
