Building LDAP C SDK in Windows: libsasl.lib not found

[Mathias Fricke]

Hi,

I'm trying to build the LDAP C SDK from source for Windows _32bit_(!).
- Windows 7 Professional SP1 x64
- VS 2010 Professional
- Cyrus SASL 2.1.25
- LDAP C SDK sources both 6.0.7 and yesterday's (2012-03-20) Mercurial
checkout

- all prerequisites are satisfied (NSS, NSPR, OpenSSL build from source)
- SASL builds, *dlls and .lib available

LDAP C SDK build steps:

checking for sasl_client_init in -lsasl... no

I am not sure, what that means -- but in the light of the failing build it
doesn't look good.

"Nicht aufgelöstes externes Symbol" == "unresolved external symbol" (BTW
is there a way to make that MozillaBuild and the tools called output
english messages instead of localized?)

according to thise warning

LINK : warning LNK4044: Nicht erkannte Option
/Lc:/Users/foo/Desktop/SW_Development/cyrus-sasl-2.1.25/lib; wird
ignoriert.

the linker does not recognize the --with-sasl-lib option as a valid path
to the .lib file -- hence, it's not found and linking fails.

Is this a bug (if so, how to work around) or did I miss something here?

Thanks in advance

i just found a workaround:

export
SASL_LIBS=c:/Users/foo/Desktop/SW_Development/CMU_2.1.25/lib/libsasl.lib

--with-sasl-lib=/c/Users/foo/Desktop/SW_Development/CMU_2.1.25/lib/
converts to
-L/c/Users/foo/Desktop/SW_Development/CMU_2.1.25/lib/
and that in turn to
/Lc:/Users/foo/Desktop/SW_Development/CMU_2.1.25/lib/
but /L seems not to be a valid option to LINK.EXE (at least the one of
VS2010)
