Hi all,
i am not sure what my experiment is turning into. lol.
I found out today that you can not build openSSL or LibreSSL with
MSCV2008 compilers, becouse both use c99 code, which is not well
implemented with MSCV2008 it seems.
@Damjan did you manage to build OpenSSL with SCONs? and i miss something?
Now i dodged this by creating a OpenSSLShim, bridging the MSCV2008
crypto bcrypt. And this seems to compile at least if i skip some crypto
algorythmn. *hide*
constEVP_MD*EVP_md2(void); /* returns NULL — not in BCrypt */
constEVP_MD*EVP_ripemd160(void); /* returns NULL — not in BCrypt */
constEVP_MD*EVP_whirlpool(void); /* returns NULL — not in BCrypt */
then i wondered that i somehow missed curl. And i figured that the ai
figured out (dont know if correct or not) that it needs only a minizip,
and compiled only the needed parts of zlib.
lol. This is really nuts. I am not sure how i continue. I mean i learn a
lot. But how to deal with this freaking old SDK I dont know. I could
replace it again with mingw, at least i know that that worked, simply
reducing old and bazel compile.
I will keep you posted. I will continue for now with MSVC, but i have
doubt i get something that we can release (why did i hope?), but maybe
it can be a jump point? Not sure in need to think and read.
all the best
peter
