In clients/tools/ldapsearch.c the address of 'strcasecmp' is taken (inside 'dosearch()') around line 1455. That means that 'strcasecmp' is exported as an undefined symbol into ldapsearch.o even if 'strcasecmp' is declared as 'always_inline'.

MinGW is such a platform which offers 'strcasecmp' by providing an inline version of 'strcasecmp' (redirecting it to 'stricmp'). So this taking of an address breaks linking.

Workaround:

before 'dosearch()' I place a local wrapper:

static int local_strcasecmp(const char *s1, const char *s2) { return strcasecmp(s1, s2); }

and inside 'dosearch' instead of

if( sortattr ) { (void) ldap_sort_entries( ld, &res, ( *sortattr == '\0' ) ? NULL : sortattr, strcasecmp ); }

I now have

if( sortattr ) { (void) ldap_sort_entries( ld, &res, ( *sortattr == '\0' ) ? NULL : sortattr, local_strcasecmp ); }

Some options to really solve that issue:

1) use my approach for all platforms. 2) change autoconf stuff to detect whether 'strcasecmp' is just inlined (MinGW) or a "real" function (other platforms).

Thx in advance!
