Trying to be proactive I managed to fix this problem... the ldap-sdk did create all the files I needed, but it didn't put them in a place that was clear to me. When I looked a little deeper I found all the files I needed under
mozilla/directory/c-sdk/ldap The include and libraries directories were in there, along with a lot of CVS and build/Makefile cruft. After moving them into a cleaner, more permanent place, I found that I wasn't out of the woods yet. A critical header file, ldap-standard.h was missing. In it's place was a "template" file. The file ldap-standard-tmpl.h begins with: /* This file is a template. The generated file is ldap-standard.h> /* ***** BEGIN LICENSE BLOCK ***** etc etc The rest of the file refers to itself as ldap-standard.h: /* ldap-standard.h - standards base header file for libldap */ /* This file contain (sic) the defines and function prototypes matching */ /* very closely to the latest LDAP C API draft */ Somewhat desperate at this point, I renamed the file, and everything worked. I installed the modules and our perl scripts that use Mozilla::LDAP::* worked without a hitch. I'm posting all this information for others who run into these problems, and to let the developers know about these issues. If there is a step needed that creates the "real" ldap-standard.h from the tmpl file, then that step should be added to the instructions for building the ldap c-sdk. Otherwise, maybe just rename the file in CVS so everyone who gets it recieves a working setup, since the template seems to function in the place of the real file. :P Scott Pestana UNIX Infrastructure Team The MITRE Corporation _______________________________________________ mozilla-directory mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mozilla-directory
