Building Mozilla LDAP C SDK on linux

[pamid...@gmail.com]

Hi to all the gurus..

I have been trying to get the Mozilla c SDK compiled in-order to use it compile some old c source code that wil be used as a authentication plugiun module in a vendor product. The code was orininally compiled and was used on Solaris. We are migrating to Linux.

Platform:- X86_64
OS :- Linux ( 2.6.32-573.7.1.el6.x86_64)

Downloaded these source codes & binaries:=
mozldap-6.0.7.tar (source code)
nss-3.11.tar ( compiled binaries)
nspr-4.6.tar ( compiled binaries)

created folder structure as follows:-
Mozilla
|---- directory -- (contents of mozldap-6.0.7)
|---- dist
|-- nss-3.11
|-- nspr-4.6

Steps:- followed
cd Mozilla/directory/csdk
./configure USE_64=0 --with-nss=../../dist/nss-3.11 --with-nspr=../../dist/nspr-4.6 --with-nss-lib=../../dist/nss-3.11/lib --with-nss-inc=../../dist/nss-3.11/include --with-nspr-inc=../../dist/nspr-4.6/include --with-nspr-lib=../../dist/nspr-4.6/lib

make

--> The compilation fails. Not clear from the config.log or the make o/p as to what is the failure cause.
I am trying to build a 32 bit version only, since the vendor product is a 32 bit one, and the plugin code also needs to be 32 bit compiled. So I am trying to build the c asdk in 32 bit, so that I can use those 32 bit .so files and compile my custom auth code.
