Unfortunately I can't build this version for Cygwin:
gcc -shared -Wl,--image-base,0xFE00000 -o cygcrypto-0.9.7.dll \
-Wl,-Bsymbolic -Wl,--whole-archive libcrypto.a \
-Wl,--out-implib,libcrypto.dll.a -Wl,--no-whole-archive -L.
libcrypto.a(rand_unix.o)(.text+0x0):rand_unix.c: \
multiple definition of `_RAND_poll'
libcrypto.a(rand_win.o)(.text+0x0):rand_win.c: first defined here
The reason is that somebody added Cygwin between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f to
the list of sytems which should build crypto/rand/rand_win.c.
That's not correct. Cygwin is a Unix systems on top of Windows and it
provides its own /dev/random and /dev/urandom for a long time already,
so it should be using crypto/rand/rand_unix.c. /dev/random and /dev/urandom
on Cygwin are using the underlying Windows Crypto provider to generate
random numbers.
So, please apply the following patch. I did that in the version of
OpenSSL 0.9.7f released as part of the Cygwin net distribution.
Thanks,
Corinna
