I am trying to use the OpenLDAP client library from my VC++ code.

I downloaded the Cygwin OpenLDAP dlls and header files. I used a utility 
called implib32 to generate lib files for the dlls.

I linked the project to use the OpenLDAP lib files. However it doesn't 
build. I get the following errors

unresolved external symbol _ldap_value_free
unresolved external symbol _ldap_next_attribute
unresolved external symbol _ldap_get_values
unresolved external symbol _ldap_first_attribute
unresolved external symbol _ldap_search
unresolved external symbol _ldap_abandon
unresolved external symbol _ldap_bind
unresolved external symbol _ldap_open
unresolved external symbol _ldap_unbind_s
unresolved external symbol _ldap_result

It looks like a name mangling problem to me. I added the extern C in the 
header files to prevent name mangling with no luck. I am new to cygwin and 
not sure how to proceed from here.

Can someone explain if there is something different to be done when linking 
cygwin dlls from VC++ code.

TIA
