I'd appreciate any help on building the sdk on windows as I have not been able to complete the build process. My goal is to write a simple LDAP over SSL client. I have Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 installed and I'm on a windows xp machine. I've done the following: 1. Installed Visual Studio Service Pack 5 and Visual C++ Processor Pack 2. Installed the Windows Vista SDK 3. Installed the Mozilla build 1.3 package 4. set CVSROOT system variable to :pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot 5. execute start-msvc6.bat and change directory to C: 6. enter cvs co -P -r LDAPCSDK_6_0_5_RTM 7. enter: cvs co -r NSPR_4_6_4_RTM mozilla/nsprpub 8. enter cvs co -r NSS_3_11_4_RTM mozilla/security/coreconf mozilla/security/nss mozilla/security/dbm mozilla/dbm Initially I followed the further instructions on https://wiki.mozilla.org/LDAP_C_SDK but then I referred back and noticed the following: - "If building LDAP C SDK 6.0.5 or older, follow the instructions below - they do not apply if using MozillaBuild with msys, they assume the use of cygwin" - "Note that MOZCONFIG is not used for LDAP C SDK builds, so it is safe to leave it unset" ..which to my understanding means I should NOT execute the 'configure' and 'make' commands since I am using MozilaBuild msys. It seems to me that the only further instruction to follow is the following: "just put nsinstall.exe somewhere in your PATH" I wasn't sure what this meant so I put the nsinstall program in my system32 directory (temporarily) and then I ran nsinstall. I got the following: "nsinstall: not enough arguments" How do I proceed? Thanks, Mike
