Hello,


I am trying to compile the LDAP C SDK, but failing to compile convutf8.cpp
as shown inline. What should I do differently to get the C SDK to compile?


Mac OS X 10.5.8

Xcode 3.1.4 developer tools

I put all the code next to my NetBeans projects. Yet I am compiling from the
command line for now.


First I do the NSS step, getting the code from CVS. This all seems to work
fine.


export CVSROOT=:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot

cvs co mozilla/nsprpub

cvs co mozilla/security/coreconf mozilla/security/nss mozilla/security/dbm
mozilla/dbm

cd mozilla/security/nss/

make nss_build_all


Autoconf for the C SDK seems to find NSS and NSPR. But then something goes
haywire with convutf8.cpp...


hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/projects/ldap-sdks/ mozilla/directory

cd mozilla/directory/c-sdk

./configure --with-nss --with-nspr --enable-clu

Thanks for your help.

Looks like convutf8.cpp was not ported to this platform. Note that --enable-clu is not used for Thunderbird builds which is probably why no one has seen this before. The problem is here beginning on line 90:
/* Type used for the src parameter to iconv() (the 2nd parameter) */

#if defined(_HPUX_SOURCE) || defined(__GLIBC__)
#define LDAPTOOL_ICONV_SRC_TYPE char **         /* HP/UX and glibc (Linux) */
#else
#define LDAPTOOL_ICONV_SRC_TYPE const char **   /* all others */
#endif

Looks like on this platform the iconv() function expects char ** not const char **. Since you're not using HPUX or GLIBC, LDAPTOOL_ICONV_SRC_TYPE is being defined as const char **.

If you can edit the source or add a patch, you could add an
#ifndef LDAPTOOL_ICONV_SRC_TYPE
...
#endif

block around this code, and add a define of
#define LDAPTOOL_ICONV_SRC_TYPE char **
wherever you set your defines/build flags for your project.


Regards,

Mark

Cheers, Mark!
