I use cygwin to build OpenLDAP with the MinGW target. The configure script incorrectly skips the check for winsock. This results in a missing -lws2_32 parameter in some makefiles, I get error messages like

/cygdrive/d/TestProgs/openldap-2.4.16/libraries/liblber/io.c:531: undefined reference to `_WSASetLastError@4'

The author of ITS#6078 (http://www.openldap.org/its/index.cgi/Incoming?id=6078) notes that this problem occurs since 2.4.14, but I haven't tested that.

The attached patch file is a diff to configure.in version 1.696. I have tested it on my machine and it solved the problem (The reason was an erroneous if-statement. The if-condition should only evaluate true if MS Visual C++ is used). I've also included another small fix for the winsock detection which happened to not affect my system, but seemed obviously wrong. It's only a very minor fix, so I assumed it would be okay to not open another ticket for that patch. If I am wrong, please notify me and I will split up the patch file.

I hope it's okay to have the legal statement here, otherwise I will include it as a comment in the patch file: I, Christoph Hannebauer, hereby place the following modifications to OpenLDAP Software (and only these modifications) into the public domain.
