Actually I am a private person with a mail server at home on XP. OpenLDAP is my first try at porting and this is what drives me: see "Using LDAP for mail contacts", http://www.linux.com/archive/articles/114010 > But sure, it might be interesting just from a hacking (in the good > sense of the word) perspective (although if you were doing it just for > the hacking pleasure, would you need to ask here about stuff like > unintentionally mixing up MSYS and MinGW?), feel free etc. Well one must start somewhere. Obviously I aimed too high, yet I now have slapd running, and more important, I learned a lot and got a clearer picture of the matter that will allow me to go further. Thanks to you guys. JF |
