To get them back, do #define LDAP_DEPRECATED 1 before #include <ldap.h> or use the _ext versions of the calls. Likely you should in any case replace ldap_init with the more flexible ldap_initialize(), which allows you to pass an LDAP URL and check error codes on failure. > I have added extern "C" {} block.

And note that it doesn't mean anything gets compiled with gcc, or that C syntax is valid inside the {}, just that the functions are C functions and not subject to C++ name mangling etc. -- Hallvard
