Compiling openldap 2.0.18...

Compiling openldap 2.0.18...

[Kent Perrier]

I am attempting to compile openldap (duh) and the configure fails 
because I either don''t have a POSIX regex (which I cannot understand, 
since I have reinstalled the POSIX regex library to make sure I had it) 
or it is "broken."  At least that is what configure tells me. Since I 
saw a post to the list in October the 2.0.15 was compiled correctly I 
assumed that 2.0.18 would as well.  Is there anything special that I 
need to do to get it to work?

Most if not all configure scripts expect the POSIX regex functionality
in the standard libs.  Therefore you'll have to add another check to
configure.in which checks for a regex lib.  See the OpenSSH configure.ac
file for details.

So, I need to download the OpenSSH source to find this?  Its not a 
problem, but its a kluge to have to do this.  I assume that there is a 
good reason for the POSIX regex functionality not being in the standard 
libs.  Can you enlighten me as to the reason?

The other way would be to develop your own patch w/o looking into
the OpenSSH sources which was how I did it for OpenSSH.  I'm somewhat
surprised about your complaint.  I offered you an easy way to copy
the needed stuff from another OSS project.  I'm not obligated to do
the port for you, IIRC.

Sorry, no offense was intended.  I am just suprised that, after 
searching the mailing list for openldap and finding that, after a small 
patch was applied, "the entire OpenLDAP distribution builds cleanly 
under Cygwin now." [email from * Jason Tishler <jason at tishler dot 
net> to * Carlos de Sousa <Carlos dot de_Sousa at ebc dot ericsson dot 
se> and cc'd to cygwin at cygwin dot com on Mon, 22 Oct 2001 12:46:59 
-0400] that it would be necessary to add LIBS="$LIBS -lregex 
/usr/lib/textmode.o" to the beginning of the configure command.  I am 
supprised that openLDAP does not have a configure.ac to provide any 
platform specific configuration information to configure. Perhaps  my 
questions/offensive comments should be directed the openLDAP developers.

Anyway, if this question comes up again, the answer will be in the 
archive for people to find by searching it.

You may want to try again with a recent snapshot to see if your regex
problems have been resolved:

    http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-developers/2001-12/msg00034.html

Please report any results back to the list.

Telling configure where the regex library with the LIBS= line from 

above worked fine.  I get openldap to compile fine, but make test 

fails. I have posted the issue to the openldap list so I am waiting 

to see if anyone can give me a clue as to the problem.

Jason was pointing you to a potential solution that does not require
you to use LIBS=whatever.

Yeah.  But I am past that part now. :)

The above imply that you may have set in motion the efforts of OpenLDAP
developers to attempt to rectify a problem that no longer exists.
Common courteous suggests that you should try a snapshot with the built-in
regex to see if it solves your problem.  And if so, inform the OpenLDAP
developers of this fact, so that they can drop this issue and spend
their time more productively.

Thanks,
Jason

I've also tried to compile openldap 2.0.18 on cygwin.  I resolved the
configure issue by just commenting out the respective section ;-B;
finally I know that regexp is there and I don't need configure to
guess around.  I've included the 'patched' configure-script.  In this
forma it runs successfully on my system.

But even then openldap refuses to compile completely.  Compilation
breaks in the server part.

When linking slapd I get the following error message:

"Warning: resolving _gdbm_errno by linking to __imp__gdbm_errno
(auto-import)
nmth000000.o(.idata$4+0x0): undefined reference to
`_nm__gdbm_errno'"

libgdbm is in the library list.  This *may* be just an issue of
sequence of libraries but I don't know.

As I currently only need the client part (ldapsearch for integration
in emacs) I didn't check out how to 'repair' openldap for cygwin.  The
needed client parts are correctly compiled.  Please note that there is
a MSVC .dsp file in the 'build'-subdirectory.  Perhaps it is usable,
but I didn't try.


HTH,

andreas
