I'm building OpenLDAP with MSYS/MinGW. Tests fail because apparently slapd
is unable to handle full path files. For example, "directory /home/masarati/ldap-devel/tests/testrun/db.1.a" does not work, but if I rename it to "directory ./testrun/db.1.a" it works fine. I don't have version info handy right now, I just wanted a quick feedback: is this a known issue, or did I forget anything while installing MSYS/MinGW, or am I missing something trivial? I can look at this later, if any additional info is needed.
Absolute pathnames for MinGW binaries must use Windows syntax, e.g. C:/foo/bar. (Since they are, after all, plain Win32 apps.) Only the MSYS shell (and apps explicitly built as MSYS utilities) can interpret Unix-style absolute paths.
