Are there up to date instructions on how to build with Cygwin or Msys somewhere? I am trying to do this on a 64 bit Windows 10 computer. The way I am doing it with Cygwin with default configure options must be wrong. I am new to both Cygwin and OpenLDAP so apologies for my inexperience.

OpenLDAP code supports real POSIX environments and native WIN32 environments. It doesn't support Cygwin, which is a partially-working fake POSIX environment. You can use Cygwin or MSYS as the build platform, but the binaries will only work if built with the MinGW toolchain for native WIN32 output. -- -- Howard Chu CTO, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/
