Also, I made some fixes to the mdb backend to rename it to lmdb and to use the renamed library lmdb instead of mdb (since it seems to have changed upstream) See: https://github.com/nice-software/cyrus-sasl/commits/wip/lmdb
Patch looks OK.
As a plus I also modified the nmake stuff to allow to build the lmdb backend instead of libdb. This is still not quite well tested but some comment are welcomed. https://github.com/nice-software/cyrus-sasl/commit/d0cc4dfe20e71aef853a7f73f6228d1a268b2845 From another side, the lmdb maintainer is not interested on supporting MSVC builds, even though I made a fork in case somebody wants to give it a try: https://github.com/nice-software/lmdb/tree/wip/msvc At this point a question arises, should we support a backend that we cannot build on the platforms supported by cyrus-sasl? That is, should we drop lmdb since the maintainer is not interested on it? Also we have the code that is not building at all without the patches I pointed out.
Seems like a silly question, since LMDB builds and runs perfectly well on all platforms.
We simply choose not to support the Microsoft IDE. -- -- Howard Chu CTO, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/
