I have googled and browsed your mailing list archives for instructions on how to build OpenLDAP for Windows but haven’t found any up-to-date information on it. Is such a thing still supported? I found out that at least Visual Studio workspace files were dropped away some years and versions ago. I would need an OpenLDAP lib that can be linked by Visual Studio 2013 (and probably by later VS versions in the future).
I have Windows 8.1, Cygwin 1.7.35(0.287/5/3) and MinGW. I have tried to do according to this: http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/897.html but ran into issues already in the ./configure phase (btw, it says “WARNING: unrecognized options: --disable-slurpd”). The final error in running that is this: configure: error: select() required.
I’m not familiar with Unixes but Google told me that select() is a native Unix command. Is that correct and if so, what should I do with a Windows machine to handle that? Or should I do the whole building task according to some completely different instructions? I need only the client side of OpenLDAP.
I am sure you have checked out these URL's

BTW, update to Win 10. It is free and will save you from having to do it when 8.1 is no longer supported. I love Win 10 PRO as compared to Win 8.1 PRO.
